MURDER IN THE LIBRARY? Actually, the "murder" will be taking place at Town Hall, if Dori Frankel has anything to say about it. Frankel went to the Selectmen's meeting Tuesday night requesting to hold a "Murder In the Library" scripted theater event at the Town Hall on Jan. 18, 2013 as a fundraiser for Support Our Library Association, Inc. (SOLA). The SOLA group, a 501C3 nonprofit organization formed in October of 2011, is replacing the Friends of Stoughton Public Library, as the fundraising arm of the Park Street library. Frankel would like to see this murder-mystery take place in the Great Hall, on the third floor of the Town Hall.

The Stoughton Chamber of Commerce is roasting Stoughton’s Mike Sammarco this Saturday evening, March 10 at the VFW Hall in town.
The Stoughton Chamber of Commerce is putting the final touches on the recipe for what should be another successful roast. After roasting its own Executive Director, Terry Schneider in 2009, the Chamber roasted Town Manager Francis T. Crimmins last year.
