NSPAC: June 7th meeting; “Go the Distance” recipients

Next week is NSPAC’s final meeting of the school year. That means it’s time to elect new officers and consider volunteer opportunities for the next school year. That meeting takes place on June 7th.

But before I get into those details. . .

This month, NSPAC held its annual Go the Distance awards dinner. The event honors people who make a difference in the life of a Southborough/Northborough child with special needs.

Now, here is the announcement they asked me to share about Wednesday’s meeting:
