  • The word-count limit for letters is 350, including signatures (with exceptions at the discretion of the editor).
  • Letters may be edited for length, style, and clarity.
  • Email letters to editor@harvardpress.net with “Letter to the Editor” in the subject line, or send by regular mail to Editor, The Harvard Press, P.O. Box 284, Harvard, MA 01451. Deadline is 5 p.m. Tuesday to be included in that Friday's edition.
  • Letters should include your name, address, and phone number. Phone numbers and house numbers will not be printed; they are used only for verification.

  • We will not print more than one letter from the same person in any given week.
  • Letters must be signed by individuals; we do not accept group names as signatures. Up to four people may sign a letter on behalf of a group; all must provide addresses and phone numbers.
  • During contests for public office, we will not publish endorsement letters the Friday before an election. Based on space availability, we may limit the number of endorsement letters in a given week, but will strive to print a balanced representation of letters received. We will not publish negative letters about any candidate.
  • All letters may be read online by Harvard Press subscribers who are logged-on registered users of the website.

Lions Club thanks the supporters of the Health and Activity Fair

by Joe Schmidt  ·   Friday, April 3, 2026

The Lions Club would like to thank our partners Harvard Park and Rec, Harvard Fire and EMS Department, Harvard Athletic Association, and the MGH Bloodmobile for assisting in the Health and Activity Fair. Thank you also to the Harvard Public School District, which allowed us to host the event at the Hildreth Elementary School.

We also appreciate all the exhibitors who conducted classes, presented healthy eating courses, taught attendees proper dental hygiene, screened for hearing and vision, took blood pressure readings, provided material on staying safe from ticks, had information on mental health as well as information on spring and summer activities offered by HAA and Park and Rec.

We donated 50 units of whole blood, instructed 20 community members on CPR, and rehomed a lot of sports equipment.

Thank you again for all who attended and helped put this event on.
