As you know, we have held a Brewfest fundraiser annually at the end of the summer. This event brought together as many as 30 local microbreweries to provide sampling of their most popular brews. The event was typically attended by approximately 750 individuals and featured live music as well as beer and food. The pandemic led to cancelling the last 3 Brewfests. We are currently investigating a new early fall/end of summer event to bring together the Sherborn community. In the meantime, the SBA board is developing plans for a golf outing. The outing will be held on Wednesday, May 17 at Shining Rock Golf Club in Northbridge, MA (18 miles from downtown Sherborn). Shining Rock is an award-winning championship golf course that combines exciting golf with superb customer service yielding an outing experience that will please all participants. Sherborn residents and businesses are important to the Sherborn community. The golf outing will provide an excellent opportunity for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to the Sherborn community and to expose the residents of Sherborn to their business. In recent years, our Community Action Fund has been able to support many projects including: Sherborn Forest and Trails Association Sherborn Historical Society Sherborn Benevolent Society Sherborn Council on Aging Sherborn Fire and Rescue Association Sherborn Police Department Farm Pond Advisory Committee Sherborn Playground Sherborn Business Association Vocational Scholarship Sherborn Public Library Sherborn Recreation Sherborn Community Center
