“I have given the Hanover MA Location a five star rating based upon the fact that it fully embraces the Y philosophy and has diverse programs that are available to all as part of the membership fee. There is one deficit that needs to be reported. I tried to arrange for a trainer and was told by front desk staff that they would not disclose the trainers available to assist. I was given the contact information for a Ms. Sousa and told she chooses who to assign. I emailed her and she did not extend the courtesy of a reply. I ultimately found a trainer at the Weymouth Club where they share the credentials of all available for training and they, unlike Ms. Sousa answer their emails. If you need a personal trainer, avoid the Emilson Y. I recommend the Weymouth Club.”

“Easy drop off, for donations, in the Southshore area may not take all items donated call in advance if you have any questions friendly staff available to answer questions”
“Although Wellspring is relatively small, they are packed with amazing items at amazing prices where most other places would charge more. It's clean, well organized and has every category of items you can think of. The staff was kind and helpful. My wife still regrets not getting that large square, Italy-made, flowered platter by the window. Can you mail it to us? ?? This is one place we will revisit when staying in Hull.”
“Wonderful shop and people! We appreciate Steve and his wife going above and beyond to not only help us but also the many crewmen that pass by. Everyone we had talked with spoke highly of this store. Thank you for everything!”
“Reached out to New England Herpetological Society about finding a new home for our turtles. Spoke to the adoption coordinator and was able to find time this weekend to meet up and drop the turtles off at the animal shelter parking lot. Will definitely follow up to see how the turtles do in the weeks to come. I'm glad that such an organization exists in Massachusetts.
PS Not sure about the previous comment about the drop off being in a dangerous city/location? Not my experience at all. But the fact that the MSPCA recommended them put me at ease.”

“I was always try to donate to Father Bill’s. There but the Grace of God.
The loveliest people are sometimes those that have been kicked to the ground, but haven’t given up, and God Bless them HAVE GOTTEN UP! Here! Here! to everyone there, but especially to the staff! All the staff, it really takes a Village, and I hope everyone puts at least $010 cents away every day henceforth, until the Christmas Party! They Really deserve it! ??
Today, I had the delight of dealing with someone in Father Bill’s Administrative Office. A Ms. Jill, who could work in a Circus as a Supreme Juggler! A delightfully splendid, gorgeous (albeit on the phone, but how she shined, with a smiling voice)., and how efficient!
She could not have been kinder, and instead of saying: “oh, we don’t take that, click”, this young Lady found me five. (5) other references to be sure someone, anyone could be helped. She certainly is in the right profession! I found out today that MA doesn’t have ONE , not (1) Covenant House?!? I hope there are more Jill’s out there. It’s on my bucket list to change this!
I digress.
Thank you Jill, we need more of you!
Sincerely MMM ???

“Thank you Erin and Kaley for your fantastic and professional work today December 6th at the Lehner Conservation Area. You both video taped us in the cold, across the streams, over rocky paths, and up hills carrying those tripods and cameras etc. The time you spent to be sure we got the right shot and the B Roll for each shot was great. I know Steve Ivas, our guide of the Lehner Property was very impressed with your professionalism and time you spent to get it right. Schuyler Thaxter and Bob Mellors”
