Vampire Orienteering at Danehy Park
Join Navigation Games for Vampire Orienteering, a free and fun outdoor event for all ages at Danehy Park! Teams of 2–4 people will travel through the park and use a special map to look for checkpoints — before vampires steal them! The event is offered by Navigation Games and sponsored by the City of Cambridge Department of Human Service Programs (DHSP).
Scam Notification: Toy Poodles for Sale
The scammers have reportedly been placing flyers on vehicles throughout the region, including earlier this week in Cambridge, indicating that eight-week toy poodle puppies – fully vaccinated and registered with all documents – were listed for sale for $1,000. It has been determined that dogs are not being sold through the listed phone number and that this is an attempt to extort people.
Be Aware of COVID-19 Vaccine Fraud and Scams
With the widespread concern about finding and getting a vaccine, some scammers are looking for ways to steal money and gather personal information that can be sold for profit. While we are not aware of any vaccine-related scams that have victimized residents in Cambridge, there are reports of scammers taking money in exchange for fake COVID-19 vaccine reservations around the country.
Seniors
Senior residents, particularly individuals with weakened respiratory and immune systems, may be at higher risk of serious illness upon contracting COVID-19. As a unified community, we can keep our most vulnerable residents safe and healthy, both physically and mentally, by adopting specific precautionary measures.
Senior Discount Water/Sewer Application
Because of the impact the water and sewer rate increases may have on senior citizens, the City offers a Senior Discount Water/Sewer program. All residents 65 years of age or older who own and occupy their one, two, or three family home are eligible for a 15% discount on water/sewer charges, not to exceed $90 per year.
