Dear Friends of the Winchester Multicultural Network,
I would like to extend our deepest condolences to all who were affected by last week's tragic events. The spirit of Patriots' Day will not be lost even as we struggle to reconcile what we have experienced and witnessed with a holiday intended to celebrate freedom from oppression.
Please know that we at the Network are sending thoughts and prayers to all who were impacted by the week's overwhelming and traumatic incidents. In particular, the Network would like to let the Winchester family and friends of Richard Donohue (originally from Winchester) know that they are in our hearts and minds.
For the Donohue family and for all of you, do not hesitate to contact us if you feel there is a way we can provide support to you, your family and our Winchester community at this time.
Best,
Kathy-Ann Hart
Executive Director

The Winchester Multicultural Network sponsored the second edition of Winchester in Transition (WIT 2013). This free half-day conference continued the conversation that began last February at WIT 2012, when over 150 residents from all segments of our town gathered to address 10 challenging and sensitive topics.
At WIT 2013, members of our town once again came together for the purpose of building a strong and resilient community.
Professional Facilitators lead 1-hour sessions that deepened our exploration of four topics that surfaced most prominently during last year’s conversation:
- Stress: The role that stress increasingly plays in our lives, across all ages from youth to elderly
- Accessibility: The issue of accessibility, particularly for those with limited mobility
- Class: The class issue, often hidden and not discussed openly in our suburban community
- Demographics: How is the face of Winchester changing?
Sol Gittleman, Alice and Nathan Gantcher Tufts University Professor, celebrated lecturer, and passionate historian of American Immigration will provide opening remarks. As a longtime Winchester resident, Sol will focus on what Winchester was like in the 1960s and how it has transitioned into our current community.
Be part of building a greater sense of community among all who live, work, study, worship, play, and conduct business in our town.
Come and join the continuing community conversation!
