The Lakeville Friends of the Environment is hosting a community “clothing swap” on June 21 at Ritter Farm Park in the Ed Mako Environmental Learning Center from 1-3 p.m. The event is meant to be a way for Lakeville neighbors to gather while also recycling clothing items. “We just want people to slow down and to take a look at their closets and the pieces that they have loved and outgrown, and pass it on to somebody in their community,” said organizer Megan Lamb.

This month, members from VFW Post 210 visited several assisted living facilities in Lakeville to connect with resident veterans. The goal was to bring camaraderie and conversation to veterans who may be limited in their opportunities for social engagement. Veterans shared stories over coffee and donuts. Service members who have passed were also remembered as a part of the Buddy Poppy campaign. kAm“%96D6 G:D:ED 2C6 2 8C62E E:>6 2?5 E96J 8:G6 E96D6 G6E6C2?D 2? 6?G:C@?>6?E E@ @A6?
