For National Recovery Month, we're partnering with RIZE Massachusetts to host the Mayor's Recovery Month Book Club, a series of events focusing on substance abuse, addiction and recovery. 

Join us for the culminating event on September 26, where Mayor Walsh will lead a discussion with authors Sam Quinones and Maureen Cavanagh will discuss the national and personal toll of the opioid epidemic. This free event is open to the public, and will be held at Old South Church on September 26 from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.

Both authors will be available for book signings following the discussion.

This event takes place at the intersection of Columbus Avenue, West Canton Street, and Appleton Street. The fair will be a celebration of the public realm, and will include:

• interactive activities to help design the the StreetCaster program
• information about Boston sidewalks
• information about 311
• stretches of sidewalk that will be repaired with new materials, technologies, and techniques, and
• partner demonstrations.

Please share this event info with your networks, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday, July 16! The fair is hosted by Public Works and the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics.
