- "It was an obvious choice to contact you. We were going to put together a list of activities that we found on our own for our grant project, but you have already done it!" - Bonnie Payne & Michael Watson, Activate Arlington
- I am at the playgrounds in town a lot with young children and have mentioned your pamphlet to other parents and told them where they can buy it. I think it's terrific and saves parents/grandparents the stress of having to look everything up separately. - Chris Graves, Arlington
- ROCK ON! at Garden in the Woods is a fantastic outing with small kids! The paths are very easy for little ones and looking for the sculptures throughout make for a fun game. The interactive sculpture building area was also a lot of fun. - Amy Speare, Arlington Family Connection
- "Just wanted to say WOW! The email blast [last Dispatches] you sent out was absolutely fabulous! Thank you so much for including me in the email list." - Lisa Traxler, Arlington
North Shore Children's Museum Update
A reader discovered several changes took place during last year's move of the North Shore Children's Museum in Salem. The famous 50ft. tugboat and a few of their other old favorites were not moved to the new location, but the new spot now features a cool fire truck, some computers, a tide pool, ball activities, an indoor play structure, pretend stage complete with TV and costumes, a pretend diner, dentist office and post office. Admission is a reasonable $4.50. Thanks to Linda de Valpine for this update!
