As part of the Annual Community Read-In on March 2, Director Rebecca Mooney shared the book, “My Secret Bully” with 2nd graders at the Winthrop Elementary School in Melrose. Check out the list of other books on bullying available for loan from MAAV’s Resource Library.

    We were delighted to have Dick Sweeney, Co-Founder of Keurig Coffee as our guest speaker at the Mentor Recognition Night. Dick shared the story of Keurig’s evolution, and how the company was built on values of trust, respect and responsibility- much like a mentoring relationship.  A huge thanks to Dick for his inspiring story, and for donating 3 Keurig Coffee machines to use as door prizes!

Lose weight, get a new job, pay off the bills.. How many times, year after year, do we make the same list of resolutions? “This year will be different!" we say. But if you are like most people, as the weeks go on it’s difficult to keep those promises to yourself.
