Message-ID: <DB873318D1A41648BEAC4B5AAB63B3E112E67D53@MESSAGE-AH.ad.mathworks.com>

Hi

 

We'd like to have a Friends of Morses Pond float in the Wellesley parade
(May 20 at 1:00). To do this, we'd like to have a truck and trailer for
a boat (we have a sunfish but no trailer or truck). The truck and
trailer we used last year isn't available. Would anyone have one we can
use?

 

Thanks,

John

Hi

 

A friendly reminder to vote TODAY support Morses Pond:

 

Vote Yes on Question 2

 

On May 15, as part of Ballot Question 2, the voters will be asked to
approve funds for the remaining portion of the Comprehensive Plan for
the Management of Morses Pond. Extensive research involving studying the
current state of the pond by experts in the field of lake management has
resulted in a 186 page Comprehensive Plan for the Management of Morses
Pond
(http://wellesleyma.virtualtownhall.net/Pages/WellesleyMA_NRC/morseplan.
pdf). In addition to the experts, three town boards along with many
citizens have been involved in the many year process to create this
plan. Many alternatives where analyzed and discussed ranging from
different chemical treatments to a full pond dredging to using weed
eating fish. The resulting plan is financially sensible and
scientifically sound. Morses Pond has been in rapid decline, primarily
because of human activities. Houses within the 5000 acre water shed
adversely effect the pond. Furthermore, invasive plants were introduced
which are choking the pond. The plan is focused on creating harmony with
man and the pond for the long term. We believe in plan and believe that
the plan will help ensure that Morses Pond remains a valuable resource
for Wellesley for now and the future.

Friends:

As you can see from the attached, both ballot questions passed by more 
than a 2/3 majority thanks to everyone who helped get out the vote.

And special thanks to Susan Hurwitz for working from inside town 
government to shepherd Morses Pond funding through its process for five 
years!

Hi

 

Good news! We have a pickup truck and boat/trailer for the Wellesley
parade this coming Sunday. Last year was a lot of fun, especially for
the kids. Being in the parade was a very big deal for the kids. They
enjoyed it a lot. Its not often you can ride in the back of a pickup
truck (or boat) down the middle of town and wave to friends and throwing
candy and toy turtles. Some pictures are at:

_town_parade/index.html

 

http://www.morsespond.org/pictures/2005_0522_FOMP_float_wellesley_parade
/index.html

 

Everyone is welcome to join us, especially kids! On Sunday, we need to
meet at 11:30-noon on Pole #19 on Elm St, which is between Croton and
Woodlawn. We are following the Reminiscents, and the Oscar Meyer Wiener
mobile is following us, so we're in some pretty elevated company.

 

We'll do a decorating/pizza party on Saturday evening, 32 Pickerel Rd
around 5:00. Please let me know if you will be coming by to help
decorate. Perhaps, we can make fishing poles from sticks and let kids
color paper fish. Any other ideas are welcome. The big event is the
parade, thus don't worry if you can join in on the fun Saturday evening.

 

Thanks,

John

Date correction! It is this Sunday, May 20th. I had a typo in the
subject below.

 

I'm pretty sure that if you showed up at the meeting around 12:15/12:30
(or maybe even a little later) we'll still be there.

 

Also, for a Pond theme, it would be nice for walkers to wear life
jackets or fishing gear.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

The public meeting (below) should be of interest to the Friends of
Morses Pond as the property in question abuts Morses Pond. If you can't
attend the meeting you can send written/email input to Richard H. Brown,
the Planning Director at rbrown at wellesleyma.gov.

Concocting a Rte. 9 master plan

>From the Wellesley Planning Board:

 

WELLESLEY WEST GATEWAY STUDY FORUM

THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 2007 at 7:30 PM GREAT HALL OF TOWN HALL, 525
WASHINGTON STREET 


 


The Planning Board in conjunction with the Metro West Growth Management
Committee and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council will hold the
second in the series of public meetings to develop a master plan for the
Route 9 corridor in Wellesley west of Weston Road. This study will
follow the format of successful studies done for Lower Falls, Cedar
Street, Linden Street, Wellesley Hills Square and Wellesley Square. 

 

The study will examine among other things land use, transportation,
environmental constraints, housing opportunities, economic vitality,
opportunities to increase tax base and conceptual land use goals for the
St. James property and the Wellesley Motor Inn.     

We have seen in studies of this type that close communication with the
residents, commercial property owners, merchants, institutions and
government officials is essential. Consequently you are invited to
attend this session and participate with us to develop a vision for the
area and identify needed improvements. 

 

At this forum we will recap the December 14, 2006 forum, provide an
update on Town actions including the approval of the Morse's Pond
Management Plan, and discuss the study work plan. 

 

Light refreshments will be served at the outset of the meeting. We will
conclude the meeting promptly at 9:30 pm. If you are unable to attend
your written input and thoughts are welcome either mailed or emailed to
the addresses indicated above. We plan to conduct the last public
meeting in September tentatively Thursday, September 20, 2007. We will
make a mailing, post the date on the Town's web site www.wellesleyma.gov
<http://www.wellesleyma.gov/>
