We’ve found out about some events coming up over the next few weeks that we thought would interest our Cotuit community.
The Civic Association is not specifically involved in any of these, but they touch on the areas that we care about. If you have questions on these events, we’ve included the organizations responsible for each one.

The Town of Barnstable is working with the Cape Cod Commission to develop a municipal digital equity plan to assess the digital divide across the community and to identify opportunities to advance digital equity.
