NORTH READING – Children and families are needed at 3 p.m. today, Thursday, May 23, to help the town’s Veterans Department decorate the Town Common with 1,000 American flags for the fallen to honor North Reading veterans who served and sacrificed in the armed forces.

Start your Memorial Day weekend off in a meaningful way by joining with Veterans Services Officer Sue Magner as she prepares the common for her final event prior to retirement, Monday’s Memorial Day ceremony and parade.

Meet at the Great Oak tree across from the Police/Fire Station!
