Teen volunteers needed to help with July 4 evening festivities
The Parks and Recreation Department is looking for some teenagers to help out at Lincoln’s fireworks celebration on Saturday, July 4. We need help from 4-11 p.m. at the Lincoln School campus. Duties include:
- Event setup (setting up tables, tents, trash barrels, fencing, PA systems, etc.)
- Money collection (with Lincoln police officers)
- Trash removal
- Event cleanup (packing up everything above)
This event has been clear with the MLK Project at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School and community service hours will be given. Contact Dan Pereira at dpereira@lincnet.org if you can help out.

Getty Foundation awards grant to Gropius House
Historic New England has announced that the Gropius House in Lincoln has been awarded a $75,000 grant from the Getty Foundation. The foundation recently announced grants for projects at 14 exemplary 20th-century buildings in eight countries as part of its Keeping It Modern initiative.
At the Gropius House, the Getty grant will support the development of a conservation management plan for the building and site to ensure the preservation of its characteristic features for the home’s continued use as a teaching tool to transmit the tenets of Bauhaus design and ensure that the public can enjoy this 1938 Bauhaus icon for generations to come.
