Neighbors,

I am extraordinarily grateful for your friendship, your trust, and your faith in me to get the job done delivering for our community over the past two years.

Like everyone here in Massachusetts and across our nation, my family and I found the past nine months particularly challenging. However, we recognize how fortunate we are to be safe and healthy.

Today, I wanted to share a sliver of joy with you from this year’s Methuen Festival of Trees. While members of our team typically celebrate the festival in person, we still got to share in celebration virtually:

This year's tree, which was decorated by members of our team - Emily, Sara, and Josselyn – included ornaments to honor the frontline workers throughout Massachusetts' Third Congressional District. In these trying times, we give our sincere thanks and appreciation to these heroes, including doctors, nurses, firefighters, police officers, EMTs, public health officials, grocery store workers, teachers, child care providers, and USPS and delivery workers.

I hope you are able to carry a sense of community throughout your holiday season, and may it be filled with joy, peace, and love.

From our whole team, Happy Holidays!

Lori
