BOSTON — Leading up to Jan 5, the Healey-Driscoll Inaugural Committee announced "Team Up Massachusetts," a series of community service-oriented events in regions across the Commonwealth.
 
According to a press release, "Team Up Massachusetts" is focused on giving back, neighbor to neighbor, to make a real impact on the community.
 
In the days leading up to the inauguration celebration, the Healey-Driscoll Inaugural Committee will host five regional events, including on the Cape and in the Central, Merrimack Valley, Southeastern, and Western regions of the state. 
 
"Kim and I believe in teamwork and believe that the key to success is ensuring that every person, every region of our great state is at the table and working together to meet today's challenges and move us to where we need to be," said Governor-elect Healey. "We want people across Massachusetts to be heard, to be seen, and to be energized by what we can do if we work together. And that starts by bringing communities together to take care of our neighbors."
 
More information about dates, service opportunities, and community partners will be available in the coming weeks.
 
The Committee also launched a new website healeydriscollinaugural.com, where supporters can sign up to receive updates about the events and ticketing.
 
"We wanted to incorporate a theme of service into our inaugural," added Lieutenant Governor-elect Driscoll. "We can begin to make a real impact in our cities and towns right away, and this message of celebration is delivered with the sentiment: It's time to get stuff done. Let's get started together."
 
These regional "Team Up Massachusetts" events will lead into the Jan. 5 inauguration, which will include an afternoon swearing-in ceremony and an evening "Moving the Ball Forward" celebration at TD Garden. Details of these specific efforts will follow.

DALTON, Mass. — Although spring has long come and gone, that does not mean decluttering has to wait until next year. 
 
The town will soon offer programming to help residents of Dalton and the surrounding areas declutter their homes. 
 
These are great programs, the town's Health Agent Health Agent Agnes Witkowski said. 
 
On Thursday, Sept. 19, there will be a decluttering workshop at the Dalton Free Public Library. During the workshop, former teacher Jane Kavanau will demonstrate seven techniques to tackle clutter and stay organized.
 
"As a former real estate agent, she has seen the pitfalls of having a disorganized home and mind," the flyer says. 
 
"She believes that each person and situation is different, requiring that organizing strategies be flexible and simple — definitely not "one size fits all."
