Happy (Almost) Spring, NNT!

As the weather starts to turn, we're excited to welcome back some of our favorite springtime NNT events. A big thank you to everyone who braved the cold to join us for the annual egg hunt—it was a blast!

Spring Fling
Get ready to party like it’s 1989! This year’s Spring Fling is going Back to the 80s and will be held on Saturday, May 3rd from 6–9 PM at the Kingsbury Club, out on the new platform tennis patio. Tease your hair, dust off that neon workout gear, and get ready to dance!
Need childcare? The Kingsbury Club childcare program will be available. Children not on a family membership can still join for a small fee—reach out early to secure a spot!

Annual Meeting & Speaker Series
May also brings our New ‘n Towne Annual Meeting and Speaker Series, an important opportunity to connect, hear from community leaders, and vote in next year’s board.
Join us at 7th Wave Brewing—open to all members!
This year’s speakers include:

• Jeffrey Marsden, Superintendent of Medfield Public Schools

• Michelle Kirby, Chair of the Medfield School Committee and former NNT President

• Meg Foley & Kim Crow, Co-Chairs of the Medfield Foundation Angel Run

Touch-A-Truck is Back!
Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 17th—our biggest fundraiser of the year returns! Thanks to our amazing fundraising chairs, this year’s Touch-A-Truck will feature a fantastic lineup: construction vehicles, emergency vehicles, a garbage truck, food trucks (tacos & BBQ!), an ice cream truck, and even face painting!
This event is open to the entire community and surrounding towns, so spread the word and bring your friends!

A Heartfelt Thank You
Finally, I want to extend a huge thank you to this year’s board members and activity chairs. We’ve had a fantastic year full of memorable events—all made possible by your time, energy, and heart. And a warm welcome to the many members joining the board next season—we can’t wait to see what’s ahead!

Warmly,
Libby Eisenman
President, New ‘n Towne

March 2025

Happy March! 

As always, our wonderful Activity Chairs have been busy planning a fun-filled month of events to bring us together! We're hoping the weather cooperates for a family nature walk and the much anticipated return of playground meetups.

As spring approaches, it brings with it many of our fan favorite NNT events! Although not happening in March, I want to make you aware of these upcoming events you won't want to miss! Our annual Egg Hunt will take place Saturday, April 5th at 10am at Wheelock School. Children will hunt for eggs and have the chance to get their picture taken with the Easter Bunny! On Saturday, May 17th we'll be hosting our annual Touch-A-Truck fundraiser. More details will follow, but please note that this event is open to the public, so feel free to share with family and friends from other towns or who are not members of NNT. Our much-anticipated Spring Fling, our yearly theme party, is also in the works! More information will be revealed soon!

Our incredible Parliamentarian, Kristin, has been hard at work filling the board for next season, but there are still a few open positions available. This club is completely run by our members, and we cannot put on these incredible events without your help! For more details on the available positions, please check out this form. If you'd like additional information on time commitments or expectations please email us, we'd be happy to schedule a time to chat!

February 2025

While this chilly weather might tempt you to curl up at home with a good book—perhaps The Lonely Hearts Book Club by Lucy Gilmore—we hope you'll venture out to join us for some of the wonderful events we have planned for February!
 

A huge thank you to our incredible activity chairs for curating these fun events we all look forward to! As always, we're eager to hear your feedback, so if you have any ideas or suggestions for future events, please don’t hesitate to share.
 

Looking ahead to spring, we have many beloved NNT events returning, including our annual Easter Egg Hunt and Touch-a-Truck, perfect for the whole family! And with warmer weather comes our biggest celebration of the year: Spring Fling!
 

NNT thrives because of its amazing members, and that includes you! As we look toward the future, we’re currently recruiting for next year's Board and Activity Chairs. These positions require only a small time commitment but offer a rewarding opportunity to build closer friendships while helping shape the success of our club. If you're interested in getting involved, please let us know. And as always, please spread the word about NNT to new friends and neighbors!

Happy New Year!

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday season and are getting back into your routines of work and/or school. First I would like to say a huge thank you for the generosity of all of our members who donated holiday gifts to the Medway Family Shelter (and of course to our amazing Community Engagement Chair Eliza for coordinating everything)! This is such a special NNT tradition to give back to our community.

If you didn't make it to any events in 2024 try to come to something in the new year! Bring a friend, a partner, or come by yourself! Also please feel free to use the members only Facebook group for impromptu meet ups! Heading to Hospital Hill to sled or hear about a fun community event? Share it with the group!

Interested in getting more involved in New 'n Towne? Joining the board is a great way to meet people and build stronger connections! Have an idea for an event you'd like NNT to do? Tell us about it! We'd love to help make it happen. We're always open to suggestions on how to make NNT meet the needs of our members. Send us an email!

Happy December!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

December is a busy month for us all, and New 'n Towne is no different, with a calendar packed with exciting events for the whole family! In addition to our usual monthly events, we are also thrilled to bring back our annual gift drive for the Medway House Family Shelter, Pajama Party, and Secret Snowflake. There are also many holiday-themed events happening throughout Medfield in the coming weeks including the Holiday Stroll, Holiday Parade, Angel Run, and Spaghetti and Snowballs. Whether this is your first holiday season in Medfield or you've been in town a while, we hope you enjoy all of the festivities we have to offer!
 

As we wrap up an incredible year together, I want to take a moment to reflect on the joy, connections, and memories we've made as a group. This holiday season, we’re reminded of the warmth of community and the spirit of togetherness that has made this year and this town truly special. Whether it was sharing a laugh at an event, meeting new friends, or exploring Medfield, we’ve been so grateful to have you all with us.

As I look ahead to the New Year, I'm excited for even more fun, adventures, and opportunities to make lasting memories. Thank you for being part of this wonderful group – here’s to a bright and beautiful year ahead, filled with new friends, shared experiences, and even more joy!

Wishing you all a festive holiday season and a Happy New Year!

June 2024

Hello All!

This will be my last newsletter as we will begin transitioning leadership later this month. I am excited to announce that Libby Eisenman has been nominated as President for the 2024-2025 season. Libby moved to town in 2020 and has been a member of New ‘n Towne for four years. She was an integral part of the Board this past year serving as the VP of Social last year. I am very excited to work with Libby during this transition and I very much look forward to watching her succeed in her new role! 

Just as on overview every year we vote on the next year’s board positions. This vote will happen at the Annual Meeting on Wednesday June 12th. All members are invited and encouraged to attend. Board positions are 1 year terms, with many individuals volunteering to stay on for additional terms. The Board will transition at the end of this month. The President serves a 1 year term; I will transition into the Parliamentarian role and stay on the Board in an advisory capacity for an additional year. With all of the summer vacations, the Activity Chairs are not expected to offer monthly events, and New ‘n Towne takes a short break. That said, there still might be an occasional event, such as Book Club or the summer concert. You can always take advantage of the members only Facebook group to post a date and time for a spontaneous meet-up at the park/pool/pond, etc. 

In the Fall, families will be asked to renew their dues. Dues are $40 and go towards subsidizing the cost of events. Anyone that has joined on or after April 1, 2024 will be grandfathered in to the 2024-2025 season. Through dues and fundraising efforts such as Touch-a-Truck, New ‘n Towne was able to donate $3,500 back to the Medfield community this year. I wanted to let you know where that money is going. The Board voted and approved the following transactions. Each year, New ‘n Towne awards 2, $500 scholarships to two high school seniors who have a history of service to the betterment of the Medfield community, an established record of community service throughout high school and an excellent academic record. This year's recipients are Tomiwa (Tommy) Ojuolape  and Julian Ram-Tylerbest .  The following groups received a $250 donation: Medfield Animal Shelter, Medfield Food Cupboard, Medfield Foundation, Medfield Foundation: Medfield Coalition for Suicide Prevention, Medfield Public Library, MCPE, Public Safety, Medfield Farmer's Market and Medfield K-8 PTO.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the Board members and Activity Chairs for all of their hard work this season. These individuals are who make New 'n Towne what it is - they have kept our calendar busy with a variety of events. We have a few individuals rolling off of the Board this year and I wanted to especially thank them for everything they have done for the organization over the years. They have volunteered their time to lead events and help bring people together. Thank you to Jen Orlando, Megan MacDonald,  Natalie Tordiglione, Kate Scuderi and Med Cabezud. I also want to thank you, the members, for being engaged and attending the events and sharing the word about New 'n Towne. While the Board does have a playbook of 'tried and true' events, we are always looking for ways to improve so feel free to reach out with any ideas you might have. This club is for you, so we want to make sure that you are getting the most out of it!

THANK YOU! I hope to see you around town!

Happy February!

February is a month I look forward to as it seems like we are getting more daylight and it is not quite so dark in the morning. This month some people call the month of love. This is always a nice theme for the month. Please bring the love when you go to any and all events for New n' Towne.

This month we are only doing three events because many kids have February break and families will be traveling.
Galentine's is sure to be a fun girls' night out! Guys' night will be at Top Golf which is sure to book up quickly. Lastly we have book club to end the month. They are reading a great book called Hidden Figures.

Please keep spreading the news about membership! Also this is the time of the year where we begin to look for new people who would like to get involved in New 'n Towne. Please reach out if you would like to get involved or just attend a board meeting to see what it is all about.

Happy New Year!

What a nice way to start the 2024 year with a snow storm. I feel like I can now officially say winter is here. My favorite part of the snow is looking out my window and seeing the trees covered in the snow.

Our activity chairs have planned some fun events for the month of January. We hope if you haven't made it to an event in 2023 that maybe you try to make it to one in 2024. Bring a friend! Go by yourself! Either is fine! 

I like to spread the word about Spring Fling early. This event is a great one to attend and it will be our last big event before we depart on summer break. Please keep a look out for this date. It is always a fun event!

Warm regards,

For newer members, you may not know that the New 'n Towne season begins to slow down come June. While we may have an occasional event over the summer, the summer months are a time to transition leadership roles and plan for the next season. That said, we have a VERY BUSY May planned for you - the board has been working hard to bring you events geared towards all ages!

Spring Fling ticket sales will close first thing Monday morning. If you are planning to go, grab your tickets now as we need to provide the final menu and head count to the Kingsbury on Monday.

Touch-a-Truck is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. The funds raised go back to the community in the form of scholarships to High School seniors and grants to local businesses. The event is Saturday 5/13 from 11:30am - 1:30pm. There will also be food trucks since it spans the lunch hour -  a BBQ truck and an ice cream truck. 

In June, we will have our annual meeting. It is open to all members. We will have guest speakers from the community and vote in the next board. Once we have the date for this event, I will send an invite. There are still a few positions open for next year's board and activity chairs, please reach out to learn more about how you might get involved.

I hope to see you at an upcoming event. If we have not yet met, please feel free to introduce yourself. As always, reach out with any questions.
