Santa’s Spectacular Medfield Sleigh Ride

The elves at MEMO, the Medfield Merchants and Employers Organization, have been very busy getting ready for the arrival of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus! Santa will be visiting the Medfield neighborhoods courtesy of MEMO, Fire Chief Carrico and the Medfield Fire Department.

Santa’s special fire engine sleigh will be visiting Medfield on Saturday, December 12th, starting at 1:00pm. The sleigh will receive a police escort by our own Police Chief Guerette. We encourage you to wave to Santa and Mrs. Claus, jingle bells if you have them, and generally just have fun! Be safe – wear masks if you’re near your neighbors. The MEMO parade might be cancelled but that hasn’t stopped Santa from paying us a visit! The fun starts at 1:00pm on Saturday, December 12th from the Medfield Public Safety Building. The sleigh will take this route on it’s spectacular journey.

Please contact MEMO Chair-Elf Alison Brown of Coldwell Banker Realty with any questions: Alison.Brown@nemoves.com

Scam Warning

A number of MEMO members have once again received a scam email. The email seems to come from our past President Marjorie Cappucci but it is a fake. DO NOT REPLY TO THEIR EMAIL. DO NOT SEND GIFT CARDS TO THEM. This is a scam – it is not sent from MEMO and is not connected to MEMO.

This is an example of what was received:

Marjorie Cappucci executive@vno%%%reser.com

to xxxx

xxxx,

Are you available to assist? I am out of the State now and I’ve got credence in you to take care of this. I would have called your phone but I presently do not have access to my cell reception.

The Medfield Employers & Merchants Organisation needs some gift cards for donation to Veterans at Hospice and Palliative care units for preventive items from Corona Virus (COVID 19). I have decided to make it a personal duty. I will be responsible for the reimbursement.

Marjorie Cappucci
President
