Members of the Watertown Challengers League made a recent stop at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge to thank the hospital and CEO Jeanette Clough for their important sponsorship, the hospital announced. The Watertown Challengers League is a division of Little League Baseball that gives youth ages 7-19 with special needs the opportunity to have fun and be a part of a team. Participation is free to each player and includes a uniform, jacket, trophies and an annual banquet thanks to local sponsors. The team is run by Eric Manning (of Watertown), VP of the Watertown Challenger League and his wife Brenda Manning (of Watertown), board member at large and manager of the Watertown Challenger League. The Mannings joined the league five years ago as volunteer coaches aiding their son, Brian Manning (of Watertown) who has cerebral palsy.
This year Tufts Health Plan Foundation took a new approach to the annual report, sharing community voices to represent our work for 2016, the company announced in a press release. The audio annual report, Making Our Communities Great Places to Grow Up and Grow Old, released today, highlights collaborations and initiatives supported by the Foundation to advance the age-friendly movement across the region. “Listening is critical in our role as community partner and investor,” said Thomas O’Neill III, chair of the Foundation board of directors. “It informs how we engage, promote health and connect to the communities we serve.”
As part of its practice, the Foundation collaborates with and engages older adults, civic leaders and nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island to support communities that work for people of all ages. “We are living longer, and opportunities to create vibrant cities and towns that are great places to grow up and grow old must be advanced,” said Nora Moreno Cargie, Foundation president and vice president, corporate citizenship atTufts Health Plan.

The owner of the building that has been a place for people to grab a meal – most recently Wild Rice – has been frustrated by the lack of parking in the area. Last week he was denied a request to add street parking in the area near his property on Elm Street. Property owner Gabe Tutunjian said that the lack of parking has been a problem for the property, which is about a block off Arsenal Street. He has struggled to lease it and has looked at selling it, but without parking he has not been able to do so. The building used to be part of a bigger parcel of land, Tutunjian said, but when it was broken up the property he now owns did not come with off-street parking.
