residents being terrorized by
kids riding recklessly on electric
bicycles, Town Meeting
members unanimously approved
a proposed bylaw to
regulate E-bikes and similar
motorized vehicles in town.
Article 33, introduced by Precinct
6 Town Meeting Member
Elizabeth Marchese, would impose
noncriminal fines of up to
$300 and impoundment fees
of up to $300 for violators. Operators
under 16 would be required
to wear a helmet while
operating an E-bike, if the article
is approved by the state
Attorney General’s Office. Operating
an E-bike at speeds exceeding
20 miles per hour and
carrying passengers on bikes
that aren’t designed to accommodate
passengers are prohibited
under the provisions
of Article 33.
The Saugus Police Department
would establish and
maintain a database documenting
violations of the bylaw.
“The purpose of the database
is to track repeat offenders,
identify locations experiencing
frequent violations and
assist the Town in evaluating
enforcement needs,” the article
stated.
Article 33 passed on Monday
(May 4) during the opening
night of this year’s Annual
Town Meeting. Earlier in the
day, Gov. Maura Healey filed
the “Ride Safe Act,” legislation
to strengthen public safety and
regulate micromobility devices,
like e-bikes, scooters and
mopeds.
“We are seeing too much
reckless behavior, more crashes
and close calls, and too
many people, especially pedestrians
and young riders, are at
risk,” Gov. Healey said in a statement
this week.
“This bill is about protecting
people and preventing tragedies
before they happen. The
Ride Safe Act will establish
clear safety rules, hold riders
accountable, reduce congestion
and make our roads safer
for everyone,” the governor
said.
At the outset of Town Meeting
discussion of Article 33, Precinct

Town Meeting 2026
A Summary of Session One – members stick with Moderator Doherty for a seventh term
By Mark E. Vogler
T
own Moderator Stephen
Doherty can serve
at least two more years
presiding over the Saugus Annual
Town Meeting. In their
first order of business Monday
night (May 4), members
reelected Doherty to preside
over the 50-member body for
the 2025-27 term. Precinct 4

legal opinion from Town Counsel
John Vasapolli as to whether
the warrant article would
conflict with the legislation initiated
by the governor.
“Even if the Town Meeting
passes this bylaw, the attorney
general has to review it
and approve it,” Vasapolli said.
Vasapolli said he didn’t see any
problem with Town Meeting
voting on the article without
knowing the provisions of the
governor’s legislation.
Selectman Frank Federico
told Town Meeting that he
supports the article “unequivocally,”
while noting he is concerned
about the time frame
Town Meeting Member Joseph
DiFilippo nominated Doherty
to serve a seventh consecutive
term. Members approved
the measure unanimously on
a voice vote. Doherty will have
served 14 years as moderator
when he decides whether to
run for reelection to his Precinct
4 seat. He was first elected
to Town Meeting in 2011.
AT A GLANCE: In the openinvolving
passage of the governor’s
legislation.
Based on a conversation he
had several months ago over
coffee with state Sen. Senator
Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn,
whose district represents Saugus),
Federico said, he believes
it could be more than a year before
the governor’s legislation
passes. “So, I ask you all to take
it upon Town Meeting to protect
literally the lives of the children
in Saugus as well as the
E-bike riders and motor riders
that are doing so safely and legally,”
Federico said.
Precinct 6 Town Meeting
Member Alicia Bonito, a pediatric
emergency nurse at Mass
General Hospital, said she has
become “increasingly coning
session of the Annual Town
Meeting, members took action
on a dozen of the 46 articles on
this year’s warrant: approving
nine articles, indefinitely postponing
two and referring one
back to its maker. Forty-nine of
the 50 members were present
for the first night’s proceedings,
which lasted more than
three hours. Precinct 3 Town
Meeting Member Leonard Fercerned
about the amount of
injuries in the pediatric population
due to motorized electric
bikes.”
“I have witnessed firsthand the
explosion of accidents, including
massive head injuries, internal
bleeding, traumatic fractures
and death,” Bonito said.
“Nearly all of these injuries are
preventable. Enforcement is deterrents.
Having a bylaw with
comprehensive language helps
guide us,” she said.
“I hope you share my sense of
urgency before another tragedy
occurs,” she said.
Precinct 8 Town Meeting
Member Arthur Grabowski said
he noticed unsafe E-bike behavior
just outside Town Hall
on Monday night before Town
rari, Jr., the pitching coach of
Lasell University in Maine, reported
he couldn’t make the
meeting because of a baseball
game in Maine.
A SPECIAL COLOR GUARD:
Three members of Saugus
Youth Football and Cheer U-10
Cheering Squad, the 2025 Regional
winners, 2025 Nationals
that placed third in the country,
Hadley Nichols, FranchesMeeting.
“I saw people on electric
bicycles and motorized bicycles
going up and down the
sidewalk. They had to be going
20 to 30 miles an hour. And
God help anybody, especially
an elderly person, that was in
their way,” Grabowski said.
As a Denver Street resident,
Grabowski said, he frequently
observes reckless conduct by
kids on E-bikes during school
days. “Between 7:30 and 8
o’clock in the morning going
to the High School and at 2:30
in the afternoon, coming back
from the school on Denver
Street it’s like a Daytona 500,”
Grabowski said.
“You see kids on their bikes
… even on their scooters, are
riding two to a person on a
ca Lincoln and Ava Doherty.
The three girls have personal
connections to Town Meeting
Members. Ava is the granddaughter
of Town Moderator
Stephen Doherty. Hadley is the

scooter, which I can’t see how
safe that is with no helmets.
And God help the poor pedestrian
or the motor vehicle operator
who gets in an accident
and has to have that on their
conscience about hitting some
irresponsible person who is out
there terrorizing the community,”
he said.
“Motor vehicles are enough
of a problem. But the proliferation
of these motorized bicycles
on our streets and sidewalks
is getting out of hand,”
he said.
Precinct 1 Town Meeting
Member Sue Palomba said she
wonders why she frequently
sees E-bikes on the town rail
trail despite a sign that says “no
motorized vehicles.”
Several Selectmen called on
Town Meeting to approve Article
33.
Board of Selectmen Chair
Debra Panetta said she reached
out to other communities to
see if they had adopted E-bike
regulations. She learned they
are waiting for the state to take
action. “I think we need to put
something on the books,” Panetta
said.
“We can always amend it later,”
she said.
As a frequent walker on the
rail trail, Board of Selectmen
Vice Chair Anthony Cogliano
noted of his observations
“this is obviously a problem
throughout the town.” Cogliano
called Marchese’s article “a
step in the right direction.”
Selectman Jeff Cicolini called
the reckless conduct by some
E-bike riders “a bone of contention
for a lot of people in
the community.” Cicolini said
he “fully supported” the article,
which he believed was “best for
the community.”

DISCOURAGING CUTTHROUGH
TRAFFIC: Article 30,
to see if the town will vote for
a Town Policy on Speed Tables
and Traffic Calming Devices,
received unanimous support
from Town Meeting. The measure,
initiated by all five Precinct
10 Town Meeting members,
suggests that the Board
of Selectmen implement a policy
that falls within its powers
as traffic commissioners. Precinct
10 Town Meeting Member
Peter Manoogian noted
that selectmen would have
to obtain consulting services
to determine the basis for installing
speed tables and other
traffic calming devices.
“We believe that properly
placed and designed speed tables
and calming devices can
serve as effective tools, in specific
circumstances, to reduce
vehicular speeds and discourage
cut-through traffic on residential
streets,” the article noted.
“These measures can help
address concerns related to
traffic safety and enhance the
quality of life for residents.”
Manoogian acknowledged
there might be costs associated
with developing a policy
and installation of the devices
– but costs that would be justified
by public safety and quality
of life improvements.

THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, MAy 8, 2026
~ SHS Sachems Sports roundup ~
Saugus baseball, softball battle through midseason
push as lacrosse programs gain momentum
By Dom Nicastro
A
s the spring season hits a critical
stretch, Saugus baseball and
softball continue to carry the
load with competitive efforts, while
both lacrosse programs are building
momentum in their own ways as postseason
hopes to begin to take shape.
BASEBALL SEARCHING
FOR ANSWERS, LEANING
ON LEADERSHIP
Saugus baseball continues to grind
through a challenging stretch, dropping
its third straight game in a 10-5
loss to Winthrop. Despite the result,
50
there were encouraging signs offensively,
as Brayden Crawford, Nathan Soroko
and Garret Peavey each went 2-for-3 to
pace the Sachems lineup. Crawford added
a double as part of his strong day at
the plate.
Jordan Rodriguez took the loss on the
mound, while Eli Fialho provided valuable
relief, working 5 1/3 innings to keep
Saugus within striking distance.
Head Coach Mike Mabee pointed to
self-inflicted issues as a key factor in the
recent skid. “We’ve been beating ourselves
allowing free bases on defense
and digging a hole for ourselves early
in games, and we haven’t been able to
climb back,” Mabee said.
Still, the coach emphasized the team’s
belief and
leadership
as it looks to
turn things
around. “Our
leaders have
been working
harder than
ever to right
the ship, and
we’re riding
their work,”
Mabee said.
C r awford
continues to
be a central
figure, contributing both on the mound
and at the plate, while Soroko remains a
steady presence behind the plate, helping
control the tempo of games. “Nathan
Soroko keeps the pace behind the
dish and is a constant, keeping the energy
up,” Mabee said.
Fialho is also emerging as a key contributor,
with Mabee noting the sophomore
is “finding his stride at the plate
and has a couple multi-hit games,” while
senior captain Chris Mazin continues to
lead in the outfield and is “finding his
stride in the batter’s box of late.”
Despite the recent losses, Mabee
made it clear the path forward remains
in Saugus’ control. “We have a path to
the tourney, and it’s in our control,” he
said. “We’ve taken some blows but we’re
learning from the bad, building on the
good, and looking to go 1-0 every day.”
Saugus looks to regroup quickly as it
hosts Gloucester in its next NEC matchup.
SOFTBALL EXPLODES
AGAINST LYNN TECH,
STAYS IN TOURNAMENT
HUNT
Saugus softball continues to push toward
tournament contention, using a
dominant 16-0 win over Lynn Tech to
highlight another week of steady progress.
The Sachems, now sitting at 6-6,
know the margin for error is slim as they
aim for a postseason berth.
“This is crunch time now, and we are
going to have to start making a move
if we have any hopes of making the
tournament,” Head Coach Steve Almquist
said.
Against Lynn Tech, Saugus wasted no
time taking control, scoring seven runs
in the first inning without recording a
hit, capitalizing on five walks and several
errors. “We were fortunate enough
to be able to capitalize,” Almquist said.
The offense added to the lead in the
second inning behind RBI singles from
Sofia McCarrier and Maria Silva before
eighth grader Hannah Strout delivered
one of the biggest swings of the game,
crushing a triple to deep left field to
drive in two runs. The Sachems kept
the pressure on in the fourth inning,
scoring five more runs. One of the highlights
came from senior Lani Perez, who
returned from injury and made an immediate
impact.
“In her first varsity at bat, she recorded
her first varsity hit and RBI … what
a great way to acclimate herself to the
lineup,” Almquist said.
McCarrier handled the rest, tossing
a five-inning shutout with eight strikeouts
to earn her first shutout victory of

the season. “Only a freshman,
Sofia continues to impress
with her gamer mentality and
her willingness to do whatever
is necessary to help the team
win,” Almquist said.
Key contributors included
Silva, McCarrier, Layla Demonte,
Strout, Angie Dow and Perez,
while the team combined
six hits with 10 walks in the
win.
Earlier in the week, Saugus
dropped an 8-5 decision to
Beverly but showed it could
compete with one of the area’s
top programs. “We knew
coming into this game that we
had to play a clean game to
beat them … which unfortunately
we didn’t, but still gave
them all that they could handle,”
Almquist said.
The Sachems jumped out to
a 3-0 lead behind hits from Aubrey
Demonte, Layla Demonte,
Sydney Deleidi and McCarrier
before Beverly battled back.
Layla Demonte added an RBI
double later in the game, while
Ari Chianca, Alannah Duong
and Angie Dow all contributed
offensively. McCarrier again
battled in the circle against a

improve compliance with the
state Public Records Law.
WHAT’S NEXT: When the

floor auditorium at Saugus
strong lineup.
“If not for our inability to
make a few routine plays, the
outcome might have been different,”
Almquist said.
With a tough closing stretch
ahead, Almquist knows what
it will take. “We still have a lot
of work to do … but the kids
continue to play hard,” he said.
GIRLS LACROSSE
CELEBRATES
MILESTONE,
BOUNCES BACK
STRONG
Saugus girls lacrosse experienced
both ends of the spectrum
this week, falling to Beverly
before responding with a
commanding 16-5 win over
Danvers. In the victory, Teaghan
Arsenault led the offense
with four goals, while
Aly Mabee and Natalie Justice
each added three. Layla
Rodriguez scored twice,
and Niki Breton, Maria Garcia,
Mara Faiella and Casey Hanifan
each found the back of the
net. The game also featured
a major milestone, as Mabee
scored her 100th career goal.
In net, Jordyn Ripley DeminsTown
Hall, members are expected
to continue their discussion
of Article 36, a measure
that would place restrictions
on hunting within the
limits of any park, playground
or public property. Toward the
end of Monday night’s discuski
turned in a standout performance
with 13 saves, while
Brooke Diaz helped anchor the
defense.
BOYS LACROSSE
SURGING BEHIND
YOUTH, BALANCED
ATTACK
Saugus boys lacrosse is
turning heads with its recent
run, winning five of its last
six games to even its record
at 5-5 and position itself for
a potential playoff push. The
Sachems have done it with
a short bench, often playing
with just one or two substitutes,
while relying heavily
on a talented group of underclassmen.
Among
the highlights was
a 20-6 win over Revere, where
James Caruso scored five
goals, Gavin Diozzi and Artie
O’Leary added three each,
and Zack Modini, Hunter Arsenault
and Larry Barrows each
scored twice. O’Leary finished
with eight points, while Eddy
Reyes made eight saves in net.
In a 6-0 shutout win over
Lynn, senior goaltender Larry
Barrows made 10 saves,
while Diozzi scored twice and
sion, Town Meeting members
heard testimony from hunters
who worry that the article, if
passed, would unfairly prohibit
or restrict hunting in wooded
parts of town. They also
heard from residents who argue
that restrictions are needO’Leary,
Hunter Arsenault,
Caruso and Demetri Breton
each added goals. Eighth graders
Bill Lauziere and Lukkas
Sullivan also played key defensive
roles.
The Sachems also battled
Salem in a close 9-8 loss, with
Diozzi scoring four goals and
Breton adding three goals and
an assist.
Modini has also been dominant

The emergence of eighth
graders Diozzi, Modini, Sullivan
and Lauziere has provided
a major boost, while upperclassmen
like O’Leary, Morello

to lead the way.
The Sachems are now just
three wins away from tournament
qualification with six
games remaining.

library’s annual “Books in
Bloom” event on April 10 and
11 that was hosted by the Saugus
Garden Club, in partnership
with the New Friends of
the Saugus Public Library.
The event, now in its 11th
year, showcased an assortment
of books paired with
beautiful floral arrangements.
People let their imagination
flow.
“Anything goes,” said Donna
Manoogian, co-president of
the garden club for over a decade.
“As long as there’s something
fresh in the arrangements,”
said Manoogian, who
noted that there is something
good and different offered in
each of the pairings.
The library was flourishing
with about 35 displayed arrangements
made by members
of the garden club, the
New Friends of the Saugus
Public Library and the general
public. Children also participated.
“Anyone
can enter, and we
encourage that,” said Manoogian
about the event that also
Myra Monto and her seventh grade class’ arrangement based
on “Code Talker.” (Gabriella Galbadis photo to The Saugus Advocate)
featured
treats and refreshments
and the opportunity to
enter a raffle.
Exhibitors chose a book and
made floral arrangements that
either resembled its cover or
related to its main subjects.
The possibilities were endless
as long as each arrangement
included a fresh plant.
Many exhibitors chose to
place their arrangements beside
other props that helped
bring each book’s themes to
life.
A single stroll around the
library revealed the diverse
book choices and creative
touches.
Manoogian’s flowers were
spray painted black and had
googly eyes. The arrangement
was based on the book, “Legacy
of the Cat” by Gloria Stephens.
Her flowers and book
were accompanied by a black
cat sculpture and more plants.
Myra Monto and her seventh-grade
class at Saugus
Middle School chose “Code
Talker” by Joseph Bruchac to
feature. The book tells the story
of how Navajo Marines used
their native language to create
an unbreakable code during
World War II. The class read

Good morning, Saugus
If you have a mom or surrogate
mom that you love and
care about, don’t forget to
wish her a “Happy Mother’s
Day” this Sunday. If you can’t
be there in person, make the
call. Say something nice to her
and show your appreciation. If
you have the time, go visit her.
Bring her a bouquet of flowers
or a handful of roses or a card
or a box of truffles.
My mom passed away 21
years ago. But she left behind
a lifetime of loving memories.
And I will be thinking about her
on Sunday.
Mothers are special people
and make the world go round.
They do so much to help make
the world a better place. So,
in your travels, don’t forget to
wish your mom friends, as well
as the mothers of your friends
and other people you know, a
“Happy Mother’s Day.”
Nice start for new Town
Meeting members
This spring marks my 11th
consecutive year covering Saugus’
Annual Town Meeting. I often
tell failed candidates for the
Board of Selectmen – the most
glamorous and influential political
office in town – to run
for the Annual Town Meeting if
you really want to make a difference
in the betterment of your
hometown. And I know a few
members who have taken my
advice and have found great
fulfillment in serving a two-year
term on the 50-member legislative
body, which holds the
chief responsibility of passing
the town’s budget. Members
also consider town bylaw and
zoning changes.
It looks like two of the 15
newest Town Meeting meming
Member Jenna Nuzzo also
distinguished herself in her
Town Meeting debut. Town
Meeting members voted 48-0
to pass Article 31, her proposal
to create a Vacant School Facilities
Assessment Committee to
evaluate vacant school buildings
owned by the Town.
Several new Town Meeting
members also went to the lectern
to advocate on behalf of
fellow members’ articles. The
new members did make a difference
in their first Town Meeting
session. Town Meeting is in
its early stages. Stay tuned!

From Corinne Riley, the former
selectman who is now
dedicating the time she would
spend on town government
stuff to making Saugus better
through volunteer projects: “I
would like to give a huge ‘thank
you’ to Greg Stefano, Pat Roche,
and the Stefano Landscaping
crew! They always support the
Veterans, especially supporting
the brick program. They went
above and beyond recently
to fix the bricks that were rising
up because of frost heaves
and roots! It looks awesome!
Thank you again to a wonderful
Saugus business volunteering
their time to keep Veterans
Park looking great!”
From Precinct 10 Town Meeting
Member Peter Manoogian:
“I would like to give a ‘shout out’
to 2 SHS students who participated
in Student Government
Day (last Friday, May 1).
“First is Annie Jean-Baptiste,
a SMHS Senior, who served as
Chairman of the Board of Selectmen.
Annie is a highly motivated
young woman who
wants to pursue a career in
law. This is Annie’s second year
participating in Saugus Student
Government Day. Second
is Nick Shaw, a SMHS Sophomore,
who is fully engaged in
all things government. He represented
Saugus High School
at State Student Government
Day and this is his second year
participating in Saugus Student
Government Day.”
From Precinct 2 Town Meeting
Member Robert J. Camuso,
Jr.: “Today (May 3) finished the
town Precinct Cleanups led by
our Elected officials. The Precincts
involved were 1, 2, 5, 8 &
9. Hoping more Precincts get
involved for one day a year, at
least to care about our community.
Someone actually found
money cleaning up also! A special
thank you to Junkster (aka
Leo Getz) none of these cleanups
could have taken place
without his generosity! We
found more work to be done
in an unsuspected place(s)
around town which needs addressing.
Overall, these last few
weeks of cleaning up our town
was a good start, but there’s a
lot more work that needs to be
done!”

Youth Football &
Cheer Golf Tournament July

Saugus Youth Football &
Cheer (SYFC) will host its 3rd
Annual Sachem Classic Golf
Tournament on Monday, July
13, at Tedesco Country Club
in Marblehead, continuing a
growing tradition that brings
together local businesses, families
and community supporters
for a day of golf and giving
back. The Sachem Classic has
quickly become one of SYFC’s
premier fundraising events,
helping to support equipment
purchases, uniforms and
program enhancements for
young athletes across Saugus.
Proceeds from the event also
fund SYFC’s annual high school
scholarships and provide financial
assistance to ensure
that all athletes — regardless
of financial circumstances —
have the opportunity to participate
in the program.
Sponsorship opportunities
are now available for local
businesses and community
partners interested in supporting
the program while gaining
valuable exposure. Several
sponsorship levels are offered,
including Sachem, Platinum,
Gold, Dinner and Tee Box
sponsors. Benefits include recognition
on marketing materials
and social media, signage
throughout the tournament
and visibility during the event.
For those interested in participating
on the course, golfer
registration will open on
May 1. Spots are expected to
fill quickly based on strong interest
in previous years.
“This tournament is a cornerstone
event for our organization,”
said David Silipigni, SYFC
Board Member. “The support
we receive from local businesses
and families directly
impacts our ability to provide
a positive, structured environment
for our athletes. It also allows
us to give back through
scholarships and ensure that
every child who wants to play
has that opportunity.”
All sponsorships are tax-deductible,
with proceeds directly
benefiting SYFC’s mission
of promoting teamwork,
discipline and sportsmanship
among Saugus youth. Those
interested in sponsoring or

assHealth’s Eligibility
Operations Memo 2604
effective April 6, 2026 requires
caseworkers to determine
whether any countable
assets were transferred
for less than fair market value
prior to applying for MassHealth
benefits under the
PACE (Program of All-Inclusive
Care for the Elderly) program.
Prior to this operations
memo, MassHealth was not
penalizing applicants applying
for the PACE program
even if they had made transfers
of countable assets to
family members within five
years of submitting an application.
MassHealth will now
be enforcing the five year
look back period for transfers
when applying for the PACE
program as well as the Frail
Elder Waiver Program. Therefore,
MassHealth can go back
as much as five years to determine
if a bank account, for
example, was cashed out and

in order to bring your countable
assets below $2,000.

Carrijo Home Improvement, Inc.
General Contractor
Waste Innovations, is expected
to draw contentious debate
among members about the
future of the ash landfill near
WIN’s trash-to-energy plant
on Route 107. Currently, existing
state environmental laws
and regulations do not allow
for farther expansion when
the landfill meets its capacity.
Town Meeting has routinely
passed resolutions over the
years opposing any expansion
of the ash landfill.
But Article 34, authored
by Precinct 6 Town Meeting
Member Elizabeth Marchese,
essentially resurrects discussion
of an unofficial 3-2 vote
by the Board of Selectmen
three years ago that involves
a Host Community agreement
in which Saugus would receive
$20 million over the next 20
years while WIN Waste could
continue use of the ash landfill.
“Failure to pursue or secure
a Host Community Agreement
providing fair financial compensation
to the Town could
result in the loss of approximately
$1.9 million annually
in potential revenue, thereby
increasing financial pressure
on taxpayers and limiting the
Town’s ability to fund essential
municipal services,” the resolution
states. “Town Meeting,
therefore encourages all responsible
municipal officials
to pursue reasonable negotiations
that protect the financial
interests of the Town and
its residents.”

the book, discussed its theme of identity and all contributed
ideas for the arrangement, Monto said.
“It’s been a great unit to teach,” Monto said. “I think that
they have a better understanding of what people have gone
through and how they have persevered through it.”
The arrangement included cacti surrounded by one of the
student’s projects; a poem and a posterboard full of images
and quotes reflecting the story’s narrative.
Everything sat atop a homemade blanket woven together
using one strip of fabric from each student. It was a metaphor
for the fact that identity builds community. Myra said
that the blanket was inspired by a quote from the book; “You
cannot weave a rug before you set up the loom. So I will go
back to the beginning, pound the posts in the ground, and
build the frame. I will start where my own story of words
and warriors begins.”
One student, Nicole Ferraz Andrade Lentez, showed her
resonation with the unit’s lessons in a speech at a recent
School Committee meeting.
“From this project, I learned that communication is powerful
and that no one can take away who you are,’’ she said
in the speech. “I personally relate to this as an immigrant.
Even though I had to learn a new language, I never let go
of my culture.”
Mary Robblee, a garden club member, chose “Mary Poppins”
books that she has loved since fifth grade. She filled
a vase with white daisies and pink butterflies that matched
the book’s cover. She placed the vase beside a purse with
an umbrella in it along with a small bird decoration and a
picture frame of the series that Robblee received as a gift.
Other garden club members, Dottie Corbett and Lorraine
Wilton, made their arrangements based on “The Tale of Peter
Rabbit” by Beatrix Potter and “The New Yorkers” by Sam
Roberts.
The two spoke fondly of the garden club and the sense of
community it brings them.
Corbett said she feels grateful to be a part of the club. She
described it as a nice way to get out of the house and connect
with others.
The Saugus Garden Club, created in 1945, has 81 members
and partners with many community groups in town on various
events. That includes collaborating with the Saugus Historical
Society for the annual strawberry festival and the Saugus
Veterans of Foreign Wars for its annual Run to Home Base
fundraiser for cancer research.
“Books in Bloom”was originally inspired by the Art in Bloom
event held every spring in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
The art displays were paired with floral interpretations made
by volunteers and members of the New England garden clubs.
Manoogian said that she pitched the idea to the Saugus
New Friends of the Library, which agreed to partner with the
garden club to host the event.
They don’t judge the arrangements and choose a winner at
the event, said Manoogian, who sits on the board of Saugus
New Friends of the Library.
Ruth Berg’s arrangement generated laughter at the event.
It was based on the novel “Brush Back” by Sara Paretsky and
included red and white flowers that sat beside a styrofoam
head which had a hairbrush tangled in its black wig.
In the children’s room, where entries were based on youth
books, one included clay, while another used real moss and
sticks.
Manoogian said the event offers something for everyone.
“I hope it’s become something that people will look forward
to,” she added.
