Speaking of the Lion's Club, the newly formed Cambridge Lion's Club met for the first time this past Wednesday evening with a kick-off meeting at the Mt. Vernon Restaurant. New members and others that signed up that night became Charter Members of the Club, – there were about 8 that signed on including our own Marisa Tauro and Past President Ann Sabbey. The brand new Cambridge Lion's Club was formed as a result of the hard work of Somerville Lion's Club President and our very own Billy Tauro. Cambridge Mayor David Marr delivered the opening speech and vowed to adopt a resolution to assist the organization and to also host a breakfast in his office to help attract new members for the club within the next 2 weeks. Also present this evening was Former Somerville Mayor and Current Register of Deeds, Eugene Brune, Middlesex County Clerk of Courts Mike Sullivan, Everett City Councilor and State Senate candidate Sal DiDomenico and our own Chief of Police Michael Cabral. All were on hand to endorse and help get the Cambridge Club organized. Many thanks to those who helped make the new club happen – we congratulate them. For more information on how you can join either in Somerville or in Cambridge, contact Billy Tauro at: wmtauro@aol.com.

So what's the rumor about the Fire Department's Fire Prevention trailer being condemned last week? We hear that this is an ongoing occurrence down there and that some people were reportedly sick from the smell. No one is talking, but the anonymous phone calls to the news keep persisting about what is going on down there.
