Hi Greentown Community,

Happy October and welcome to spooky season! 🎃 The countdown is on — we’re now less than a month away from the Climatetech Summit, and excitement is building across the community.

In the meantime, we have a full lineup of events over the next two weeks, so be sure to RSVP using the links below, we’d love to see you there.

And if you’re looking to enjoy fall in Boston, don’t miss the Head of the Charles Regatta later this month — one of the city’s most iconic autumn traditions, bringing together rowers and spectators from around the world for a weekend on the river. 🚣‍♀️🍂

A quick reminder: the Greentown team is out today in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The building remains accessible via key fob, and please ensure your guests sign in at the front desk.

See you around,

Ananyaa Mehra
