This year is to remark a 249-year milestone in the Waterside's history & "history in the making"~ Marking a measure of progress during the transition from the old-style civic year termed "The Year of Timely Measures"(Mar 25, 2012 - Mar 24, 2013) to the "Year of Common Wealth (and Weal)"(Mar 25, 2013 - Mar 24m 2013"...

During the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's civic fiscal years ( FY13 & FY14) ~ the new-style blue moon in Aug 2012 & old-style blue moon in Aug 2013 offers mere motion to launch community ventures ~ "Once in a Blue Moon" opportunities to mark history and make history ..
