Hi Jeff,

You are going to be FAMOUS!  After hearing your saying Templeton Tough i have connected with a company that makes uniforms for me and they have a web site set up to help out communities that are struggling with the fallout of Covid 19.  On there site people can purchase a tee shirt for 20.00 bucks for every shirt sold we get 10.00 back towards the food pantry!  Attached is a proof of the shirt that will be offered on the site.  What do you think?   Also i am setting up with Unipay on the Templeton Rec page a section where the public can go to make a donation to of cash via check, debit or e check to the food Pantry.  I will let you know when that goes live.  

Thank You,
​

Gov. Charlie Baker signed a bill on Monday that bars evictions and foreclosures from moving forward in Massachusetts until after the COVID-19 state of emergency is lifted, preventing renters and homeowners across the state from being forced out of their homes.

The bill imposes a temporary ban on landlords issuing a notice to quit, which starts the eviction process. It also bars courts from issuing executions, orders that a sheriff or constable could enforce to force someone to move out, and pauses foreclosures.

The Legislature passed the bill, H.4647, on Friday after weeks of negotiations. Rep. Shawn Dooley, who had blocked the bill’s passage on Thursday due to concerns about how the bill would affect landlords, but he relented by Friday.

“This legislation is crucial for public health,” Andrea M. Park, an attorney at Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, said in a statement. “If we are going to stay home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, we must all have a home to stay in.”

The moratorium will last for 120 or 45 days after Baker lifts the state of emergency, according to the bill.
