The best Saturday card show in the Boston area has fully expanded to 10,000+ sq. ft. to become the largest in the area. We are bringing in all of your favorite card slingers, about 80 vendors in total from all around New England now with over 900 feet of table space. Roughly 500 ft. of space is sports and 400 ft. is dedicated to Pokemon and other TCG's. We feature the hottest sports stars to One Piece &amp; Marvel at all different price points. Our wide variety of vendors have a little bit to satisfy the needs of just about any collector on any budget, from low to very high end.
The cost to enter is $5 at the door, kids 12 and under are free. The fun begins around 8:30 AM at the Crowne Plaza Woburn hotel with newly extended hours until 2:00. Door prizes for the sports fans will be from Adley Rutschman! Look for a RC /5 that it is a PSA 9 along with a raw Topps Chrome auto of his. Since we are missing the 30th anniversary of Pokemon by just a few days, we couldn't give away sealed product. However, we can do the next best thing and offer up a PSA 9 Pikachu from the 25th anniversary. Also one of our favorite cards of the past two years, a Japanese Gengar Mega Attack Rare in a PSA 10. Door prizes are always given away in two blocks at 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM.
The best parking is in the back of the hotel (parallel to I-95) to enter the ballroom from the rear entrance. Contact us if you have any questions. There is currently zero room for new vendors and our waitlist is full. Tickets can be purchased in advance here through OnTreasure to "skip the line". Cash/credit cards/Venmo also accepted at the door. See you soon!

25th Annual Walk of Hope to Benefit ALS -Lou Gehrig’s Disease - Scheduled for September 12th

Walkers are signing up for the 25th annual Walk of Hope for ALS, a 3.5-mile walk around Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield to benefit The Angel Fund for ALS Research, on Saturday, September 12th. The walk begins with registration at 9 a.m. followed by the start of the walk at 11 a.m. The release of doves in honor of those living with ALS and those who have lost their courageous to the disease will be held prior to the start of the walk. 
The Angel Fund for ALS Research is a nonprofit charity dedicated to supporting the ALS research. ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive, always fatal neuromuscular disease which leads to muscle weakness and as it progresses, results in total paralysis and the inability to speak and swallow while the mind and senses remain intact. 
"For 25 years, the Walk of Hope for ALS has been much more than a walk—it has been a powerful demonstration of hope, compassion, and determination. Every step taken around Lake Quannapowitt honors those living with ALS, remembers the loved ones we have lost, and brings us closer to finding effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure, said Rich Kennedy, President of The Angel Fund. “We invite families, friends, businesses, and our entire community to join us on September 12th. Together, we can send a powerful message to those affected by ALS that they are not alone, and together, we can continue to Step Up to Cure ALS."
Walkers of all abilities are encouraged to participate as individuals or as a team. To register as a walker or to register a team, log-on to The Angel Fund website at <a href="https://www.theangelfund.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.theangelfund.org</a> or call the organization at 781-245-7070. 
In addition to the walk around Lake Quannapowitt, the event includes activities and refreshments for all registered walkers. 
The Angel Fund will also honor those who have ALS and those who have lost their battle with the disease with the Faces of ALS®. Any participating team or individual who would like to honor a loved one with a poster along the walkway should send a high-resolution photo to theangelfundals@gmail.com by September 1st. 
Donations to the Angel Fund for ALS Research can also be made online, or can be sent to The Angel Fund, 649 Main Street, Wakefield, MA 01880. All donations should be made payable to The Angel Fund for ALS Research. Walkers are encouraged to create their own webpage to raise money online. Registered walkers can create their page at https://theangelfund.org.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Information about sponsorship opportunities can also be obtained on the website, <a href="https://www.theangelfund.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.theangelfund.org</a>, or by calling 781-245-7070.

Life Love Cheese

Snack &amp; Learn! Edith Block, LICSW joins us to talk Setting Boundaries during Back-to-School Season. Of course, there will be cheese!!
Here at <a href="https://lifelovecheese.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Life Love Cheese</a>, we are all about supporting mental health. That's why our tagline is "Eat Cheese. Be Happy." While cheese can bring happiness, we can use a little extra umph to increase our happiness quotient. So, we thought it would be a great idea to host a series of events focused on mental health while snacking on cheese.
In a series we are calling "Brie &amp; Boundaries", we are partnering with Edith Block, a licensed social worker and inclusive marriage and relationship therapist, to talk about creating, maintaining and communicating personal boundaries.
For this back-to-school edition, Edith will talk about learning to set boundaries with your children while eating brie without them!
Saying "No" to any of the things or even all the things out there can be hard. During this discussion, Edith will talk about some strategies for staying connected with the world while protecting some boundaries.
We know, it's a scary topic. So, we are providing a mini grazing plate of comfort cheese and a sample of two wines to help you through.
<a href="https://edithblock.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Edith Block, LICSW </a>specializes in relationship building and connecting with others because relationships are extremely important event though they can be challenging at times.

Ephraim Curtis Middle School

On Sunday, September 20th, Sudbury will host our third inaugural <a href="https://kids.pmc.org/sudbury" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sudbury PMC Kids Bike Ride</a>.&nbsp;Our ride is a 1-mile loop that riders may enjoy as long as they would like. The one mile course is entirely paved and loops through the beautiful residential neighborhoods of historic Sudbury. Parents are welcome to ride with their children but it is not required. If a parent chooses to accompany their child on the bike, we ask that they register as volunteers.&nbsp;
Many kids choose to ride the loop 3-6-12 or even 15 times. We encourage riders to participate as long as they would like. We will have special badges for riders who accomplish 5-8-12 and 15 miles, too! Please indicate at registration an estimate of your rider's total distance (this will help us for event organization).&nbsp;There is also an enclosed parking lot loop all starting from Curtis Middle School in Sudbury, MA. (Adults may opt to register as volunteers if they would like to ride with the kids). Before the ride there will be music and bike decorating; during the ride and following there will be an Ice-Cream Truck, Food Truck, Coffee Truck, huge bouncy castle, lawn games, music and more. All registered riders will get a free ice cream from our friends at Trombetta’s Farm Ice Cream. Registration takes place from 8:30am-9:45am. The ride is from 10:00am-11:30am, and food and games will be available from 10:00am - 1:00pm.
“The Pan-Mass Challenge is a Massachusetts-based bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country. Always held the first weekend in August, the PMC raises funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a world leader in adult and pediatric cancer treatment and research. Each summer, thousands of riders and volunteers from 43 states and 12 countries participate in the PMC, all with a common goal: to find a cure for cancer.
100 percent of all rider-raised funds go directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. The PMC is Dana-Farber’s single largest supporter and is 62 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. Since 1980, the PMC has raised $972 million for Dana-Farber.”
The Sudbury PMC Kids Bike Ride empowers young participants to contribute to a meaningful cause while enjoying a fun activity. By offering multiple course options, every child will have the opportunity to participate and make a difference - regardless of age or ability. Each ride distance is carefully planned to be safe and enjoyable, with designated routes through historic Sudbury neighborhoods that are well-marked and closely monitored by volunteers. For the youngest participants, the tot lot loop provides a secure environment where kids can ride in a contained area - strollers, scooters, tricycles are ALL welcome!
Beyond the joy of bike riding, the Sudbury PMC Kids Bike Ride serves as a powerful educational experience for children, teaching them about the impact of collective efforts in fighting cancer. As they pedal for a purpose, they learn about empathy, community involvement, and the importance of supporting breakthroughs in treatment and cures at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This event not only raises crucial funds for cancer research but also instills valuable life lessons in the young riders; collectively we all pedal towards a more cancer-free future. As with all PMC rides, every penny donated goes directly to cancer treatment and research at Dana-Farber.
Please join us on September 20th, 2026, for the <a href="https://kids.pmc.org/sudbury" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sudbury PMC Kids Bike Ride</a>. We are also looking for volunteers of ALL ages to help us host an impactful and safe event. If you would prefer to contribute from a distance, you can donate to the ride by clicking the link below.

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
