Nalisha Mena was a guest of Doug's today: She told us that she moved to Youngstown Ohio 4 years ago from Bejing China as an exchange high school student. She recently moved to Medford to attend Tufts University and is an officer in the Rotaract club of Boston, and loves attending local meetings to see what is going on around her new community.
Guest speakers were Mike Oliver of MACI, Gary Roberts from the Medford Arts Council, and Jack McGoldrick of CACHE. They discussed Medford's arts community, Circle in the Square, The Doc Kountze Festival, CACHE's Mystic River Celebration at the Shell and other ongoing artistic and cultural events. The City of Medford funds about $18,000 for this years Arts community, compared to Somerville $350K+ and Cambridge $900K. The arts council does quite a bit with very little funding.
