The Barnstable Patriot
David Kern, a BHS grad who is now a vice president with TripAdvisor in Needham, is calling on private companies to help do their part in helping vaccinate our fellow neighbors and our most vulnerable residents. I wanted to share this Boston Globe article and callout TripAdvisor for supporting our local community, Kern emailed the Patriot, citing a Feb. 3 article titled TripAdvisor opens up its headquarters in Needham to distribute vaccines. As a former Barnstable High School graduate – it is very important that we all do our part to help one another, especially our most vulnerable residents, Kern wrote. He added that he spontaneously thought of using TripAdvisor s now-vacant HQs as a vaccine site two weeks ago over family dinner.

Thanks, baby
For the month of January, the Cape Cod Maritime Museum is serving as a collection location for A Baby Center donations.
For over 20 years, the Hyannis-based charity has been providing critical baby essentials, at no cost, to parents of infants in poverty on Cape and Islands, and helping to ensure the good health and safety of babies and toddlers in our community.
The organization also offers resources such as parenting support programs and nutritional guidance to young families.
Throughout the entire month, drop off new baby supplies at the Maritime Museum Wednesday through Friday between noon and 3 p.m., or by appointment any other day of the week. A Baby Center s wish list includes: size six (6) diapers; baby wash, lotion and shampoo; rash cream; and toddler clothing- sizes 12M, 2T, 3T, 4T and 5T.
