On behalf of park users at the Nunziato Off-Leash Recreational Area, on Friday, December 22, I dropped off at the Somerville Department of Public Works Dunkin' Donuts gift cards for each of the twenty employees of the Parks Department and the Highway Department who have helped to make the Nunziato OLRA our favorite municipal open space in the City!

To collect the money to purchase the gift cards, for the past couple of weeks, every time I brought Strummer to the park, I asked fellow park users to contribute a buck or two. Many, many park users participated: A lot of people, who don't ordinarily bring cash with them to the park, asked me when Strummer and I would be back so they could make a donation, too.

Thank you to all my friends at the Nunziato OLRA for being the most generous park users in Somerville!
