Polly, a regular at the Needham Historical Society, has provided a lot of history and background information on Needham...interestingly, the history of the town and the origin of its name are oft-asked questions.
Patty Carey, director, and Dan Pitts, assistant director, at Needham Park & Recreation, have both provided substantial content for the site.
Whitney has contributed all of the content for the Needham Community Theatre portion of the web site. She also designed and supplied the pages for the Richard Patton Melick Foundation.
Keith McClelland, a Town Meeting member from Precinct I, is experimenting with reporting Town Meeting on-line. His hope is to provide a report falling between the journalism of the newspapers and the precise reporting of the Town Clerk. He will report on amendments, votes, discussions, covering major issues without heavy detail.
Elise, assistant director at the Needham Free Public Library, provided all of the information for the library section, and takes electronic reference questions via a web page (for residents only). The Library, by the way, was one of the early supporters of the Needham web site!
Tad has contributed a complete subsite for Needham soccer...and we all know how important soccer is to Needham!
