My name is Kristen Auclair, and I am running for
Town Council.
Nearly 30 years ago, I was born at Harrington
Memorial Hospital right here in town, and have called Southbridge home ever
since. I graduated Southbridge High
School at one of the arguably worst times to graduate Southbridge High School
in the top 10% of my class. My daughter
is currently at West St school, and I see her graduating from Southbridge High
School as well.
I have for years listened to other residents speak
of a hustling and bustling Main St, where Southbridge was the place to go on a
Thursday night. I have listened to stories of the American Optical glory days,
the trollies in town, cinemas, The Rez, the great Sesquicentennial celebration
of 1966 and so much more in our rich history.
