A large and respectful crowd of over 200 plus assembled at the Broadmeadow School for the League’s annual Candidates Night. Another 100+ joined on Zoom. All of the candidates seeking election to the School Committee, Planning Board, and Select Board participated in the Question and Answer forum. After the forum the group engaged candidates for all offices and Town Meeting at the Meet and Greet.

The League organizers are extremely grateful to the great candidates and audience, the Needham Channel, and the Broadmeadow custodial staff.
