Preparations are being made for the third annual Watertown Arts Market, but organizers still need volunteers to help before, during and after the event. This year’s Arts Market will take place at Filippello Park near the Grove Street entrance on Saturday, Aug. 19, from noon to 5 p.m.
People can volunteer for various shifts during the event, said Kristen Kenny, a member of the Arts Market Committee. “We need mostly people for set-up and break-down,” Kenny said. Individuals or groups from companies, organizations, schools and others are welcome to lend a hand.

Hi Guys,
We’ve got to stop meeting like this! With every Watertown development meeting, every Affordable Housing Trust meeting, and on and on, there we sit. We’re quite a bit smaller in number at actual meetings, but we’ve proven that we have at least 600 Watertown residents that share our point of view. I know for a fact, from conversations with residents who didn’t get a chance to sign the petitions, that there are many more of us! As Watertown residents band together to say, “Save Our Community!” we’ve seen comments that imply that we’re old fashioned, elitist, anti-change or all of the above, trying to portray our concerns as insignificant.

Last Friday, Representative Owens and the MCSW celebrate women like Singer, who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, at the Massachusetts State House. “Jan has worked tirelessly to support the Watertown community,” said Rep. Owens.
