How do we implement these attitudes and goals? We create a “community of excellence.” Our businesses and other enterprises take advantage of training programs that are available through the Chamber of Commerce, the Mass Workforce Development Program, and others to be developed by the OCP. The OCP works with the chamber to create directories of goods and services, inventories of attractions and resources, a unified events calendar, an integrated, online touring map, and enhanced information centers. And we recognize that it still comes back to each one of us, setting and expecting standards of excellence and respect in each business interaction, as in each social interaction. It’s all about building and sustaining relationships. And then it multiplies into an even more flourishing community. We are all part of a small town with vast potential. Please join us at the OCP as we strive for excellence, protecting and nurturing our future.

Another birthstone for June is moonstone. Named for its uncanny resemblance to the iridescent sheen of the moon, it is actually a form of feldspar found in a variety of colors with a transparent to translucent clarity. They are traditionally cut as cabochons to give the desired mysterious play of light and shadow.
