LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICY

Letters to the Editor Policy
 

  • 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 anonymous letters, form letters, blanket-mail letters, or letters that we consider libelous.
  • 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.

Thanking Bingo Night volunteers, donors

On March 26, members of our community came together for the second annual PTO Bingo Night. This multigenerational event was a spirited night of competition and impressive pizza consumption. If you joined or donated to the event, you helped raise money for the PTO and the Harvard Public Schools—thank you!

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the work of volunteers and generous donors. Thank you to Elizabeth Nees, Jennifer Waibel, and Myjorie Philippe who worked for months to make the night happen. Putting on an event like this is no small task. All of the event details, big and small, plus working with local businesses to donate fantastic prizes (including a $2,500 firepit from Beyond Construction), came together as a direct result of their work.

It’s hard to overstate how much of what connects our community and makes it a vibrant place to live is powered by volunteers. Whether through contributing to mission-driven organizations and efforts, coaching a team, supporting activities, or serving on the many town boards and committees, our neighbors are giving their time, expertise, and heart to make the experience of living in Harvard better for us all. Thank you, volunteers.
