Friends of Fellsmere Heights Updates and Reminders

The next meeting for Friends of Fellsmere Heights leaders, members and supporters will be April 20, 2024, over Zoom. The procedure, as in the past, is as follows:

• Access the Friends (https://www.fellsmereheights.org/) to let us know that you plan to attend.
• Save the email that will be sent to you as you RSVP.
• On April 20, open that email, click the link and join the meeting. (If Zoom tells you to update it, please do!)

The Steering Committee will meet from 9:30-10:30 a.m., and the general meeting will be from 10:30-11:30 a.m. We’ll be talking about the hospital groundbreaking on March 29, the new drone footage of the former hospital site, the March Match fundraiser and our next big project.

The figures are in! Our March Match fundraiser brought in $585.00 … of which $500.00 was matched by an anonymous donor, adding more than a thousand dollars to our capital. Thank you so very much to all who participated! We intend to use this money for something that will be part of the new park. Please come to our meetings as we begin to plan!”

Past and upcoming events: Friends of Fellsmere Heights had a table at the Malden Community Health Fest 2024 at the Salemwood School Field House on April 6. Over 40 vendors, nonprofit organizations and City groups were there, and attendance was steady. “We made useful connections with representatives from many of these groups, and also provided information to the public at large about the former Malden Hospital site and our work.”

The Friends’ next appearance will be Sunday, April 28, at the Green Malden Fair.
