From Our Chair, Bob Binney: The Loss of a Long Time Member, the September 1st Primary, and Two Parties.

Very sad news: Helen Cox passed away on Tuesday, August 4^th. Helen was a veteran, highly involved member of the Committee, and a community activist for 60 years. She was a Boston (and Fenway) treasure. Whatever she did, Helen brought positive energy, warmth … and high standards. Read her obituary here. At our next meeting, on Tuesday, September 15th, we will honor Helen, as we share our memories.
