A Note From The Lynnfield Senior Center: Mark your calendars for Tuesday November 6 and join us at the center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.for our first annual jewelry and purse sale. Just in time for your holiday shopping.  This is sure to be an event you won’t want to miss.  Complete a holiday outfit with a beautiful designer bag and just the right pair of earrings!   The sale will continue in our Thrift Shop during the month of November.

Town Business: Lynnfield’s Recreation Field Study Committee meets tonight at 7 p.m. in the selectmen’s room at town hall.

Turkey Trot: Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and that means the Lynnfield Rotary’s annual Turkey Trot is coming right up. This is a major fundraiser that helps the Rotary fund its various projects to benefit local residents. The 5K race is at 11 a.m. and the entry fee is $20.

Run For Ace: Speaking of annual races, the Ace Bailey Children’s Foundation has announced that it has one invitational bib left for its 2013 Boston Marathon team. Runners who accept one of these bib numbers commit to raise at least $5,000 for the foundation, which does various projects for hospitalized children. Email barbara@acebailey.org if you're interested.

Cradles To Crayons: State Senator Katherine Clark is working with Cradles to Crayons to help gather donated items for area children.
