The audience will learn more about her life and have the opportunity to view “Julia” on the set of “The French Chef,” an amusing experience. After the performance, the cast will open up for discussion regarding Julia Child. This original edutainment production will feature both Lynne Moulton and Fran Baron. This program is sponsored by the New Friends of the Saugus Public Library. The Delvena Theatre Company has been doing to-go shows for the last several years at various venues throughout the New England area. The Company was founded in 1992, and prior to “going on the road” performed at different locations throughout Massachusetts, most often at the Boston Center for the Arts. Delvena was nominated for five Independent Reviewers of New England Awards. Its production of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” was on Theatre Mirror’s Best List for acting, diPOT BUSINESS | FROM PAGE 2 Manager, and others serving on this Committee.

Our Town residents deserve no les Selectman Corinne Riley The issue of granting marijuana licenses is certainly under the purview of the Board of Selectmen, as are granting Liquor Licenses. The more time that passes, the more revenue the town misses out on that will go to the cities just outside the town’s borders. Seeing as they can only be on Route one with specific guidelines of location, if the businesses meet the criteria that were vetted by the committee the town manager assembled, then we should have them so we can review and make the decision on who we feel is best fitted to run their establishment here in town. Selectman Michael Serino After speaking with the Town Manager, I do not believe that the Cannabis (marijuana) licensing process has been lagging. The Town Manager has put in a considerable amount of time in putting together an application process. A Cannabis committee has been formed to include one individual from our Police and Fire departments, Planning Board, Board of Health, Procurement Director and our Building Commissioner. The Cannabis commitwas placed on Aisle Say’s best list. For more information, call the Library at 781-231-4168, ext. 3106. tee will have to visit each site before making their recommendation to the Board of Selectmen. The Town Manager has had to consult with an attorney who has expertise in licensing Cannabis establishments. Unfortunately, the Town Manager has been in the middle of putting together the 2024 Town budget over the past several months. Many meetings have been held with all department heads, Finance Committee members, Board of Selectmen and Town Meeting members and preparing for our Town Meetings. Overall, seven (7) applicants have filed the necessary paperwork requesting a Cannabis license. Once the Cannabis committee makes their recommendations to the Board of Selectmen, I would like to have the opportunity and time needed to review all the applications. Moreover, as one member of the board, I would like to schedule a site visit with my fellow board members and then schedule a host community outreach forum as required under Mass General Laws. We need to be fair to all applicants. Imposing a deadline is not in the best interest of public safety for our community. This is a new learning experience for all of us and we need to get this licensing process right.
