Special to The Advocate
Several sponsors and volunteers have combined their efforts to offer a series of events, activities and memorial experiences in celebration of the year-long observance of Malden’s 375th anniversary, and the festivities are not over yet. Event planners are finalizing arrangements for more activities in September, October and November to round out the celebration of Malden’s Strong Past…Proud Future. Upcoming activities include historic tours of Malden’s Squares, a scavenger hunt and an author’s series, to name but a few.
