Governor Michael Dukakis recently attended an Alliance meeting at the Restaurant 45.  Democrats from several nearby towns and cities enjoyed meeting the Governor, and learning more about his ideas.
There were a few pooped Democrats Sunday after the 2010 Medway Pride Day.  We were happy to have Jim McGovern, Karen Spilka and Carolyn Dykema visit.  Here are a few photos to document the fun.
