After more than a year of planning, fundraising and construction Open Table at last has a permanent facility. Today’s grand opening was attended by several government dignitaries including Congresswoman Niki Tsongas who presented Open Table with a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition and State Senator Jamie Eldridge.

The celebration, open house, and ribbon cutting ceremony was a huge success. I am so proud of Jeanine for what she has accomplished with the support of her board and hundreds of volunteers that comprise the Open Table family.

This morning I started my fall soccer season on a high note, scoring a nice header in my first game with the Lexington Eagles, a division one over-56 squad that I just joined. As I will be turning 59 this month, I decided it was time to move up from the over-50 age division. It is nice to be one of the fast guys again.
