Looking for a way to help AANA? We need volunteers to deliver our agenda/newsletter. In normal times, it is a once-a-month activity (except for July and January, when we don’t usually meet or publish an agenda.) You usually have a few days to get them out, so you can do it as your schedule allows. Students can earn community service hours, which we can verify with a letter. Shout out to our long-time delivery volunteer Phil Hunt, who has moved from the ‘hood. We thank him for his service over the years. Please let us know if you can help.

We are so excited about this tribute to our friend and neighbor, Pat O'Neill.

Proud to sponsor a resolution in honor of Pat O'Neill, a friend, longtime Dorchester resident and President of the Ashmont Adams Neighborhood Association for 20+ years. Pat's tremendous contributions to her community and beyond deserves recognition. By naming the community room at the new Adams Street Branch Library the "Patricia O'Neill Community Room", we will be able to honor her each and every day. Thank you to the cosponsors Boston City Councilor Annissa Essaibi-George and City Councilor Michael Flaherty for joining me, and the rest of the Boston City Council for supporting a great unsung hero!

Next step - this will be voted on at the March meeting of the Boston Public Library Board of Trustees!

Happy Birthday to our neighbor, Jack Cunningham!

Ladies and Gentlemen please join us in wishing our friend and regular Captain Jack Cunningham a happy 87th Birthday.

Over the years we have been lucky enough to host athletes, celebrities, politicians and even two Presidents. However many great Americans move quietly among us.

Mr Cunningham served our country as a Marine helicopter and fixed wing pilot. He was the Marine One Pilot for President Johnson and Marine Two Pilot for Vice-President Hubert Humphrey.

He also applied for the NASA astronaut program. Although not selected he went on to train our Apollo astronauts, including America’s first moonwalkers Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, in survival swimming.

Thank you for your service Captain Jack. Cheers!

Pat's Pizza & Catering Lower Mills Dorchester

FYI,

Happy New Year to all our wonderful customers and loyal friends. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support, friendship and patronage.

As many of you are aware, we closed our restaurant in March to walk in customers and indoor dining during the start of the Covid pandemic. At the time, we were also in the middle of a renovation to the inside of our store to allow for more open space and seating. It was our hope to be able to remain open while we renovated but like everyone else - Covid took over and we had to make adjustments.

Due to Covid restrictions, we are unable to remain open during the last phase of renovation. We will be closing the store on Monday, January 4th. It is our hope to have the store completed to allow for customers to enter back into the store in a safe and socially distanced setting. We will be able to provide indoor seating and more open take away area while adhering to Covid restrictions. We are hoping to be open again the first week of February. We will provide updates through Facebook and Instagram.

We appreciate all of your continued support. Covid has been tough on small businesses but our customers have been absolutely amazing. Your kindness and loyalty have been truly appreciated.

We wish everyone the very best in 2021!

Thanks, Pat, Brendan & our Awesome Staff
