This has been a busy weekend for us and this coming week will be equally busy. Many volunteers are working to spread the word around town about our WALK this coming Sunday and solicit signatures for a petition asking that the Wellesley Country Club considers another location for their proposed construction.
Our sincere thanks go to the dedicated volunteers who passed fliers at the Recycling and Disposal Facility, those who walked their neighborhoods, Email their friends and neighbors, posted fliers at Starbucks around the area, or stood outside Roche Bros and lastly to all those who managed the logistics. We even had a 4 legged volunteer named Lunar (Elaine's service dog) who stood outside Roche Bros working hard for the cause.
If you do need more fliers to pass out this week, please, contact Sue. She has a list of streets that are unclaimed as of yet. We do need to get the whole town involved in this effort.
To all of you a big thanks and hope to see you on Sunday!
Friends of Brookside Association steps up fight vs. Wellesley Country Club plan

A group of residents opposed to a Wellesley Country Club plan to house buildings for storage, vehicle washdown and restrooms/lightning shelter, along with some parking spaces, on picturesque Brookside Road are stepping up their awareness campaign by hosting an educational 1-mile walk along RoseMary Brook on Sunday, Nov. 14 at noon.
The Friends of Brookside Association members have said they appreciate the country club’s need for new facilities, but have raised concerns about the impact of the proposed project on wildlife, drinking water and traffic.
The association might have some fresh info to chew over Sunday as well: Wellesley’s Wetlands Protection Committee meets Wednesday at 11AM at town hall for its latest discussion on the Wellesley Country Club proposal.
