About the Series
Dive into conversations that challenge the status quo and explore whether you’re genuinely thriving in a vibrant community or merely existing in a crowded world.
Community is much more than belonging to something; it’s about doing something together that makes belonging matter.
— Brian Solis

Topic: Who do we want to be as a community?
Every day, with every action and every decision we make, we are writing a story — not just the story of our individual lives, but the collective story of Winchendon. The question before us today isn’t just about the present moment; it’s about the legacy we choose to leave behind. Who do we want to be as a community for the children watching us, and for the generations who will inherit the town we build together?

Community Conversation #4
📅 Saturday, May 16th
⏰ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Beals Memorial Library Auditorium
Topic: What are we prepared to do to become the community we want to be?
The future of our community isn’t built by chance, but by choice. The crucial question facing each of us today is this: What are we prepared to do to become the community we want to be? Are we ready to move beyond conversation and commit to collective action, turning our shared aspirations into tangible reality? The answer lies in the steps we take together, starting now.
