ADAMS, Mass. — The Adams Lions Club is raffling off a framed Tom Brady autographed jersey.
 
Tickets are $2 each or three for $5 and can be purchased from any club member, Smith-Bros McAndrews Insurance, or O'Geary's Package Store.
 
The drawing for the three-time Super Bowl winning quarterback's jersey will be held at the Adams Lions annual Golf Tournament on Saturday, May 19, at Forest Park Country Club.

The golf tournament and raffle are the Lions' biggest fundraisers for the year. The proceeds go back into the community and to research in eye care, diabetes and the eyemobile. The Lions set a budget each year to give all the money it raises to youth clubs, organizations, help people and children with eye exams and glasses, scholarships, Louison House, Honor Society banquet, Senior luncheon, among others. Fundraising begins anew every year on July 1.

CHESHIRE, Mass. — Town meeting on Monday approved all 35 articles on the annual meeting warrant, including a total spending for fiscal 2027 of more than $8.5 million. 
 
Some 77 of the town's more than 2,500 registered voters filled the Cheshire Community House meeting room, debating on a number of articles during the meeting that lasted nearly three hours
 
The town dedicated its annual report to the Rev. William David Furey, longtime pastor of First Baptist Church and more recently Berkshire Union Chapel in Lanesborough. Furey died last year at age 77.
 
His wife, Anne Marie Furey, and his sister, Town Moderator Carol Francesconi, were presented with a bouquet of flowers in tribute to him. 
 
He was an exemplary member of the community who left a lasting impression in each and every life that he touched, said Town Clerk Whitney Flynn. 
 
Voters approved several warrant articles that make up an operating budget of $3,840,314 for fiscal 2027. Of this amount, $1,642,481 is allocated for the general government budget, which was approved after clarification of a few questions.
 
One item was the administrative assistant's salary. Prior to the annual meeting, the town eliminated the executive assistant salary of $54,309 in favor of a part-time administrative assistant salary of $27,155, to reduce costs considering the financial constraint the town is in.
