On June 18th my colleagues in the legislature and I had the privilege to celebrate some of the extraordinary women from across the Commonwealth who were honored as 2019's Unsung Heroines of Massachusetts. Among those being honored were Reverend Jill Wiley (1st photo), Allyne Pecevich (2nd photo left of Wiley and to the right of State Representative Gerry Cassidy) and Judy Gorman (Right of Wiley) of Brockton; as well as Emily Keane of East Bridgewater and Arlene Dias of Hanson (3rd photo). The Unsung Heroines of Massachusetts is a celebration of women who "perform unheralded acts of public leadership and volunteerism" across the Commonwealth. This is the 16th year the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women has hosted the ceremony, which was held in the Great Hall at the Statehouse.
Brockton's Council on Aging commemorated World Elder Abuse Awareness Day today by taking to the streets marching in unison to bring awareness about the millions of adults who experience elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. Also our good friend late Pat Foley was honored for her all of her advocacy to address the issues of Elder Abuse and her work in the Community.
There was a large turnout of Firefighters and citizens as Firefighters Memorial Day was observed in both Whitman and Hanson on this past Sunday paying homage to those who passed, injured, or diseased in the line of duty. I thank every single firefighter for their courageous service keeping us safe from the dangers of all types of fires and emergencies.
