Millis chair urges photo submissions for 2025 town report; Lions Club donates $1,300 to Fisher House

Millis Select Board Chair opened the Jan. 6 meeting with a series of announcements including a call for residents to contribute photos and content for the town report and news that the Lions Club of Millis raised $1,300 for Fisher House in Boston.

The chair said the town report committee and staff will collect photographs and community submissions throughout 2025 to assemble a town report that could compete in Massachusetts’ annual town‑report contest. The chair said submissions might include local scenes, volunteer activities, Little League teams, transfer-station volunteers or other images the community would like to see in the report, and that staffer Victoria would assemble entries.

Separately, the chair noted that a recent Lions Club and Millis High School DECA Club fundraiser placed flags outside the building and raised $1,300 for Fisher House, which provides lodging free of charge to military families while a loved one receives care at Boston-area hospitals.

Why it matters: Municipal reports and related outreach are a way for local government to document town activities and invite community participation. The Lions Club donation was presented as a charitable contribution to a recognized nonprofit providing family support to those receiving treatment in Boston.

Ending: The board moved quickly from announcements into scheduled appointments and routine business.
