President's Viewpoint
It’s safe to say, summer is upon us. I realize many of you travel into Cambridge for work but many of you also live here. Regardless, in my opinion, summer is one of the best times of year to take advantage of all our city has to offer. You’ll find a plethora of opportu


nities to spend time outdoors, from dining to concerts, festivals and more. It’s a great time to be in Cambridge! As I review the lists that come through the CCC and experience many of the locales or events myself, I can’t help but feel the need to share. Following is just a snapshot of ideas and activities for you, your friends and your family to take time out from your busy schedules and enjoy what the city has to offer. Please note that this list is not in any particular order.

1) Lunchtime Concert Series A great break from your phone and computer.
2) Farmer’s Markets Mmm, nothing says summer like fresh fruits and veggies.
3) Charles River Boat Cruise The best views are from the water.
4) StoryWalk Cambridge Combine reading and physical activity while you take your family on a trip through Inman Square, though August 3.
5) Hotel, Inn or B&B Stay Treat your loved one(s) to a getaway.
6) Dining Your overnight stay would not be complete without a fine meal in one of Cambridge’s over 250 restaurants. Not staying overnight? Well, then just stay for dinner! 7) Museums Want to stay cool but cultured? Take in one of our great museums located throughout the city.
8) “Screen on the Green” Catch an outdoor movie at various area parks. Your family will love the experience of seeing a movie out- doors. Bring along a picnic or grab some food on your way.
9) Central Square Outdoor Arts Enjoy free performances from Central Square Theater, Dance Complex, ImprovBoston and more. 10) Trolley Tour of Cambridge Tired of entertaining Uncle Olaf? This will occupy him for a few hours.

There is so much to enjoy here locally that it is difficult to highlight a specific list within my allotted space. For more ideas please visit our Web site as well as those of other community organizations and the City of Cambridge.

If you live here, please take advantage of what your own neighborhood has to offer. If you come here for work, I invite you to stay after work or bring your family in to enjoy what this eclectic, exciting and engaging community has to offer. I guarantee you’ll appreciate it even more. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Best in business,
Kelly Thompson Clark
