SHDTC Annual Caucus:
Monthly in-person gatherings for coffee, breakfast goodies, and casual conversation are held at 8:30am on First Fridays. Sadly, Tailgate Picnic Deli, where we met for many years, was closed at the end of 2025 and this longtime community institution will be greatly missed. In January, our meeting will be a week later than usual, and we'll gather at the Gaylord Library, 47 Newton Street. Location information for coming months will be posted below as arrangements are confirmed.
