Episode 76: Kelly Cronin and Kristy Walter (Watertown Savings Bank Club 50)

Meet Kelly Cronin and Kristy Walter! They work at Watertown Savings Bank doing community relations and running the Club 50 program for the bank. We talk about the bank's philosophy of focusing on Main Street not Wall Street, and how that translates to 90+ employees volunteering their time in the community, awarding $100,000 to nonprofits through their Customer Choice Awards (on top of their regular sponsorships and donations), and their unique Club 50 program that helps build in-person community through bringing customers together for travel and local events to help make memories and friendships. Plus, we get a little of Kelly's and Kristy's own backstories, what else they're involved with in the community, and how they found their way to the bank.

Matt 0:07

Hi there, welcome to the Little Local Conversations Podcast. I'm your host, Matt Hanna. Every episode I sit down for a conversation to discover the people, places, stories, and ideas of Watertown. This episode I sat down with Kelly Cronin and Kristy Walter over at Watertown Savings Bank. They work in community relations and run the Club 50 program for the bank. And Kelly and Kristy are great. I know them since we all are on the board for the Watertown Business Coalition. So they help out around town in lots of different ways, and I'm excited to share a little bit more about them and what they do at the bank and some of their personal story.

Kelly 0:40

Hi, I'm Kelly Cronin. I am Vice President of Community Relations and Club 50 here at Watertown Savings Bank.

Kristy 0:47

I'm Kristy Walter and I'm the Community Relations and Club 50 Coordinator at Watertown Savings Bank.

Matt 0:52

Great. Well, thanks for having me today. So let's start with Watertown Savings Bank. What is it? How long has it been around? I mean, we know it's a bank, but it's a little different than your typical bank. So let's get into that a little bit.

Kelly 1:04

Sure, I love that. Thank you, Matt. Like you said, we are a bank, but I feel like we really are so much more than a bank. I think our community would attest to that. So we are Watertown Savings Bank since 1870, so celebrating 156 years this year in 2026, November 10, 1870. We have always been Watertown Savings. We have never bought or acquired another institution. We have never merged with another institution, and we have never been assumed or taken over by another institution. So the fact that we are Watertown Savings Bank since 1870, pretty unique these days when you see a lot of bank mergers and big banks. And you know, a lot of our competitors have grown, and that's great for them. That's just not been our strategy. We want to be there for the community for 156 more years. We currently have 10 locations. We serve Watertown, Waltham, Belmont, Arlington, Lexington, and Newton.

Matt 2:00

Cool. And how about, you know, anything with the building? I'm in the one that's right here in the middle of the square today, and it's quite an impressive building. So any fun facts about the building to share?

Kelly 2:10

So I know it's a very beautiful building. We do have quite a few people that will just stop in and they admire the outside or the inside.

Kristy 2:17

It used to be separate buildings, and so they combined. Originally it was three different buildings, and they've all combined over the years to be the bank. And it's gone through different iterations, having walk-up tellers, having people move around in different locations. So that's what I know is a fun fact.

Kelly 2:32

That's a good fun fact. So if you come to Watertown Savings in the square, we're really a beautiful focal point in the square. We've been in that building that extends into the square, which was the old Union Market Bank. We've been in that building since 2004, and that's our lending and finance divisions over there. And in between is that boardroom connecting the two larger buildings connected by that middle building, like Kristy said.

Matt 2:55

And you have a nice rooftop deck, which had a WBC, Watertown Business Coalition event last year. It was nice. No one knew that there was a rooftop deck on top of this.

Kelly 3:03

Right. We were saying that any behind-the-scenes info that people don't know, it's got to be the roof deck, right? We have this beautiful roof deck that we can enjoy lunch and some functions up there. And we got permission to host the WBC event, and it was great. It was a warm summer morning, so it was great to be up there. But it's a really nice place for employees to enjoy lunch. And we've had baby showers up there, we've had employee functions up there. So something a lot of people don't know. I think that's why the WBC event was well attended. They were just like, what's going on with the roof deck up there?

Matt 3:31

Yeah. All right. So let's talk about Club 50, because that's what you guys do. And it's, like you were saying, a unique program for a bank. So what is Club 50?

Kelly 3:40

So we were saying this, that if you asked about the bank, this is really our differentiator among our competitor banks or banks really in the area. So Club 50 is Watertown Savings Bank's loyalty program for customers 50 years of age and older, maintaining $25,000 on deposit at the bank in any combination of accounts, checking, savings, CD, IRA, or with our investment department, Osaic Institutions. And also we asked that they have a checking account with us. So we know there are probably people out there that they qualify and they're a customer and they didn't maybe know about Club 50. Please, please make sure to reach out to us. We would love to tell you about it. 

Kelly 4:18

But Club 50 turned 30 years old in 2025. It is growing and thriving post-COVID, which we didn't know what would happen because COVID was unfortunate and it was a time to keep people apart. And Club 50 is all about community and bringing people together and friendships and memories and wonderful adventures. So the fact that it's really thriving post-COVID has been a real differentiator, a real wonderful thing that's been happening here at Watertown Savings. So we had 260 new members alone in 2025. We've never seen numbers like that. Our colleagues do a wonderful job spreading the word about Club 50 at our branches. Our customers are doing a great job telling their friends. I'm a little newer in the role, just three years. I've been with the bank about 25 or so, but just in Club 50, three or so years. Kristy has been in about a year. So we're kind of a newer team, but we've been a really fantastic team. And it's just been so fun to do all these fun things. And we have tremendous support from our president and CEO, Brett Dean. He's super supportive of our club and our boss, Rob Kelly. Anything we put to them and say we'd really like to do this with the club, they're on board, they're supportive, and it's just a really wonderful way to bring people together.

Kristy 5:28

So there's also a list of benefits for members. So there's free checks if you're a member, discount on safe deposit box, the IRA management fee is waived. There's no fee money orders or treasurer checks. And what we really do is we do year-round travel opportunities and programs and events. Our key thing is the travel, but we're also really trying to build community and connections to the bank and really bring people together. So we're trying to do more things outside of travel. We recently partnered with the city and did a Blue Zone wellness program. So partnered with Live Well Watertown. We're trying to do more events like that where our members can come and not have to get on a bus. But they learn something new, they connect with the city, connect with each other. So we're really about promoting that community and connection with each other and with the bank. So we do have over 20 programs and trips planned for 2026. We just rolled out our 2026 calendar. That includes four big international trips and then lots of day or multi-day trips and programs. We are going to take some members to the farmers market. We're going to do another Blue Zone program. All that is included in that. And we still are adding things to do as we come up with ideas and we are trying to add more events just to bring people together. And it is, I think, a very unique benefit of the bank and being a customer. So we're really trying to just get the word out there and promote Club 50 because it really is a great community builder and group for people to come to belong to.

Matt 6:46

Yeah. So how did Club 50 come about? Why did it get created?

Kelly 6:50

So this wonderful woman, Ann Barber, she actually passed away in 2025, unfortunately, but she was working at Waltham Savings Bank back in the mid-1990s. And she was running a travel program at Waltham Savings Bank. I forget, I don't know what the name of the program was, but they were not going to continue with her travel program. So I believe she was looking for a job, looking to figure out, could she bring this to another place? She interviewed with our folks here and our CEO at the time, Ron Dean, met Ann and said, Oh, this is a fit for our bank. So they hired Ann. So in 1995, Club 50 came to be here at Watertown Savings Bank. And it really did fit in with the culture of what we do. And it started off really well at the time. People were very responsive to it. They were very excited. They were signing up. It was a hit off the bat. And that momentum really carried through. It has really carried through. We haven't made many changes to the program along the way. But I think we're starting to, Kristy and I are really starting to look at what else can we do? How can we enhance it? So it was really a special thing that I think Ron Dean knew at the time that he had something special coming to the bank. And he was also very supportive.

Matt 8:03

What's your favorite moments from a trip you've done so far?

Kelly 8:06

So many. I'll narrow down to, and this for me is like the essence of Club 50. There's a lot of people that come, friend groups, couples, sometimes it's singles. This woman, she came to our Grand Canyon trip in 2024. She had recently lost her husband. She was trying to get herself back out there and just, you know, have some fun and make friends. And when I tell you she was the darling of that trip, she had the best time. She met new people. She laughed. She was so happy. People were so happy to meet her. Just seeing the joy that she had and how everyone responded and really truly embraced her. For me, that is what the program is about. Really just putting herself back together and finding new joy. She still talks about the trip. We see her frequently. She's a lovely person. We have a lot of those stories. But that for me is one that really stands out.

Kristy 8:58

I have way less experience. I really have only been here less than a year. But I did take a group kind of on my own to Villa Roma, which is a resort in the Catskills. And it was kind of a very different group of people, but just to see them all come together. There were eight or 10 of them that would go play bocce every night and had their bocce competitions. We took them to Bethel Woods, which was where Woodstock was. You know, that's kind of the age group. They really just enjoyed that history and seeing that. So it was just fun for me to see, like Kelly said, the group bonding. And, you know, by the end of the trip, it was two or three days, but there's more friendships. You can see more people know each other. They all have made new friends.

Matt 9:35

Yeah. All sounds nice. What else does the bank do in the community? Because you guys, I see you.

Kristy: 9:40

Everywhere.

Matt: 9:41

Named as a sponsor for so many events and stuff. So you guys are very trying to be out there.

Kelly 9:45

We do. We actually just got a good report. You know, the bank is heavily regulated, audited, and all of that. We just got a really good report about our community development initiatives, meaning how good of a job are we doing being out there and supporting organizations that really need us. We always want to do our best and do more, but we try to be the best corporate friend to the organizations in our market, those that have relationships with us. But we have a substantial donations and sponsorships program where we take in requests for donations and sponsorship. So financially, we support hundreds of organizations each year. We also love to host groups in for a tour for a financial literacy talk here at the bank. We'll come to you. Fraud prevention talks, that's really big right now as well. 

Kelly 10:33

But one of the best things we do, and it's very current and timely for this, is our customer choice awards program. If you haven't heard of it, it's separate from our donations and sponsorships. It's a set amount. So this year we will give out $100,000 to organizations that are chosen by Watertown Savings Bank customers and as of the last few years, non-customers. So any organization, 501c3, is eligible to be voted for, to be awarded funds. 27-year-old program, customer choice awards. We've given out $1.6 million in this program over the years. It's wonderful. So we will likely have 30 or so organizations that will end up being on the winners' list. So that's sort of how it goes. We'll award $15,000 to the top vote getter, $10,000 to the second place, $7,500 to the third place. And then the rest of the folks that get on that list, they'll be awarded some monies. And we have an awards night where we don't tell them what they're winning. We invite all the winners. We say, your organization has won. Come to this awards night. We're going to present to you an award and a check. It is by far the bank's favorite event each year, is when we get to see those organizations, how much it means to them that they've been awarded funds, hear their stories of what they're doing in their communities. It's very, very heartwarming. There's so much good work being done out there. 

Kelly 11:54

You know, that's our job is to support our local communities. That's what we are about. We are focused on Main Street, not Wall Street. That's a Brett quote. And we very much want to take care of our communities. We think we do a really good job of it. You know, of course, always room for improvement, but we take it very seriously. Our employees are the best in the business, the best anywhere. We have 120 employees and 90 plus employees volunteer each year for multiple different things. I truly believe they do it because they want to. They want to, they're passionate about what we're doing. They love to be with fellow coworkers and support things. It really is a great place to work because we're always doing good for others. It's just very meaningful.

Matt 12:39

Yeah. 

Kristy 12:40

I would just echo what Kelly said. You know, the bank really is everywhere. And I wasn't aware of that until I became an employee here. There's so many things from Faire on the Square to just sponsoring almost anything that somebody asks for, they find a way to give something. So you asked for $10,000. We can't give you that, but we're going to give you something. Like the bank just really wants to support causes or groups that need to be supported. And the same with the employees here. The employees do want to get involved. You want to ask somebody to do Faire on the Square, there's 15 people that have volunteered. And it's just volunteer. And that's the atmosphere and the environment at the bank.

Kelly 13:13

Right. We were saying that sometimes it's too many, like a good problem to have. And I know that doesn't happen everywhere. And we also, Kristy and I are also, in addition to community relations and Club 50, we're very involved with our employee life committee here at the bank. So we do a lot of good things for our employees as well, activities and things like that. So it's a busy but fun job.

Matt 13:34

Yeah. All right. Who are you guys? So let's go in reverse direction. Kristy, where did you grow up? Are you from around here? Like how did you get to here? You know, in the briefest way possible.

Kristy 13:46

I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So it's, I can just say it's really hard to be a Steeler fan in this area. I moved here years ago to go to grad school. I worked for a number of years in higher education as an athletic administrator and then decided to change course a few years ago and randomly met Kelly at a WBC networking event. I was just getting involved in the community. I'd never heard about Club 50. I didn't know very much about the bank, but I was involved with WBC and getting to know that. And she had a position available, so it just kind of fit because I do have some background in travel and I do like, I have been very involved in the community. So it was just a nice fit at the right time.

Matt 14:25

Yeah, and you had been doing other stuff in the, how long have you been in Watertown, I guess?

Kristy 14:29

I've been in Watertown over 30 years. But I did not know anything about Club 50. I didn't know really about a lot of the stuff that goes on, which is kind of my motivating factor. When I started to realize about the farmers market, I did some volunteering with Live Well Watertown. Like how come nobody knows about this? How come nobody knows about these things? So that's how I met Doug and just started trying to connect people because I said if I didn't know about these, other people don't know about these great things that the community is doing. And so just by doing that, I ended up meeting Kelly and WBC. I also do some volunteer work at the library. I do a project literacy class once a week, coming into my second year there. So we have a conversation class just an hour and a half once a week.

Matt 15:06

And for people that don’t know, what is project literacy?

Kristy 15:07

Project literacy, for non-English speaking residents, mostly residents. We serve five communities here, it's at the library. So I have a group of anywhere from six to ten, mostly women just happens to be a conversation class. They want to improve their English skills, and we just get together. It feels like again, like another community thing. A lot of time we don't have a lesson plan, but everybody just sharing, they get to practice their English. I correct anything if I can or I look it up for them quickly. But it's just been a great piece. And I did say to Kelly when I came, I have to keep that because I really enjoy that part. 

Kristy 15:37

I also do a Girls on the Run program, which is a national program for girls in third, fourth, and fifth grade. And we do run, it ends in a celebratory 5K, but also there's life skills programming along the way. So you have a syllabus, we do stuff about gaining confidence and how to not be bullied and how to stick up for yourself and being strong. And it's really a fun program. We do that at Hosmer. This will be the third season here in Watertown. I did it in Newton for a couple of years, but it's a great program. And we usually have 20 to 25 girls in that age group, and then we end up doing a 5K on the Boston Common with all the programs from around the state. So there's like 5,000 people. The girls get to get a number and a medal and cross the finish line. So it's really just been a fun event, too.

Matt 16:18

Yeah. What made you reach out to all these separate things? Like why do you feel this need to help the girls, to help the people at the library?

Kristy 16:24

I was really just looking to find ways to get involved when I was in between positions. I started, I think, with Live Well Watertown. That got me introduced into the community with Stephanie Venizelos and that group. And then I met Doug through that and just looking for ways to kind of do things that I thought would fit my skill set and just to be out in the community more and find out more about the community that I did not really know about.

Matt 16:46

Right. Any advice for someone who's in that position themselves right now, who's in a transition period, about how to do that?

Kristy 16:51

I really think it's really important just to get involved. So I just put myself out there. But I would say to do the same thing, put yourself out there. Go to City Hall. They're always looking for volunteers for their boards. Or, you know, walk into the rec department. Do you need help with something? I mean, it starts by just putting yourself out there, meeting as many people as you can, and then just finding what fits.

Matt 17:10

Yeah. All right, Kelly, your turn.

Kelly 17:12

It's a tough act to follow, honestly. 

Matt 17:14

Where are you from? 

Kelly 17:15

She does so much. So I'm from the South Shore originally, and I commuted from Weymouth to the bank for almost 20 years, which was sort of crazy. When I saw the job way back when at Watertown Savings, it was in the newspaper. Job in the newspaper, marketing assistant. And I thought, I don't even know where Watertown is, but I'm going to apply for this job. And I remember thinking I did well in the interview. I was not my boss's first choice, she said, because of where I lived, because she was afraid that I would not make the commute and everything. I might have been late a couple of times over the years, but I'm so glad I found the bank. So I was out of college. I had a quick two years at a local hospital in their PR and development office. And I knew I wanted to do public relations in some form or another. So when I saw the marketing assistant job, I felt like, oh, it fits in with kind of what I want to be doing. So I joined the marketing department at Watertown Savings in 2000. 2000. And then as the department grew, marketing became community relations. 

Kelly 18:16

So marketing and community relations were in the same department. I went the community relations route. I became the event person, the donations, the sponsorships, and then it morphed from there. Our community relations really started by my boss, Carole Katz. She's very well known around here. She was at the bank for a long time, wonderful mentor. She did so much. And I always thought I just want to try and keep going what she did. I used to help out Club 50, but it wasn't under my purview. And I'd actually moved out of state for a couple of years during COVID. And then upon her retirement in the Club 50 area, funny joking about would I come back to the bank? And I was like, maybe, but I was happy and just some great conversations with Brett, our CEO and president. And they brought me back. 

Kelly 19:02

So I came back to assume my community relations role again and then take Club 50 over upon a retirement of someone who was very popular and coming out of COVID. And Brett said, we don't know what's going to happen with Club 50. I don't know what to tell you. And I said, I know it's tricky to know that. That was 2022. So then I was on my own a little bit for a while with great support here. And then very fortuitously, I met Kristy at a WBC event. We were running registration together, and I knew I could hire, bring someone in. And I thought, oh my Lord, I just got so lucky. We're just very like-minded, she's very hardworking, obviously very involved in the community and just a wonderful fit for the bank. So together we're just elevating our program and doing a lot and having a lot of fun, a lot of laughs. It's been great. So I'm a long timer. I say I'm here for more than 20 years. I don't really count the hiatus. So yeah.

Matt 19:57

Nice. You mentioned that there's a lot of volunteering from people here. Why, do you have any idea of why those type of people are attracted to Watertown Savings Bank?

Kelly 20:08

Well, I'll speak a little bit to the longevity of our employees, too. If I'm here 20-something years, I'm like almost a newbie, honestly. We have folks that are 30 plus years. I think that's just a true testament to how well the banks take care of our employees, the way we then in turn take care of our customers in the community. Hopefully that translates. I don't know. We make it fun. I'll say that. We really try to make it fun. If we're volunteering, it's food, it's camaraderie, it's an activity. We're gonna be together and just, I think we all really, you know, like a family, we really get along for the most part. Everyone really just gets along and likes each other. I don't know. Maybe that translates out too when you're trying to recruit people or you just get lucky once in a while, like I did meeting Kristy.

Matt 20:49

If you're out in the community, you meet the people who are out in the community.

Kelly 20:52

Right. And then I've noticed we've had an influx of new employees the last couple of years, and I'm talking some wonderful new employees who are just amazing fits here at the bank. And it's tough to come to a bank where there's 30-year employees. That can be intimidating, but people have worked here so long, there's going to be a bunch of retirements at some point. So we need to make sure that we're getting those great people in that are gonna then be the next generation to take over.

Kristy 21:16

It's also a very supportive community. Like I've never worked somewhere where it's everybody wants to know how you're doing. Are you okay? Do you need something? As being a new person here, I just find it very welcoming and very supportive. So I think that that then plays into, oh, I let's go to this volunteer thing. I can meet some more people, or let me give my time to this because they're being so nice and supportive. It's really just like Kelly said, feels like family community. You know, it's 120 employees, so it's not huge. I don't know everybody because I have only been here a year. I know most people in this building. But it just feels nice when you meet new people, people are welcoming and supportive, which is just nice to have as a new person and, you know, to help with Club 50.

Kelly 21:53

You know what I else I find? Our job is so unique. And it is, it's the best job at the bank for sure. You know, it's not always easy. I know some people probably just look at it very glamorously. And at times, yes, at times, no. And I think people that they are working on the teller line or so they don't get to, that's their job and that is fine, but it's the activities we offer and things that we do. Oh, do you want to come on this bus trip and help us for the day? When we can do that, get to involve others, I mean, they love it. And it's a nice way for them to be seen by customers that maybe they hadn't met, or maybe they do know some of the customers, another way to spend time with the customer and our employees.

Kristy 22:31

It is nice for the Club 50 members to meet the employees and vice versa, because maybe you just meet them at the teller line or something. But now you can maybe have a little bit more just casual time to talk to people. So I think that builds the relationship with the bank too, with the customers. So we might try to offer more programs that are together, you know, with employees and with Club 50.

Kelly 22:49

And we did that. A solstice event was almost like half and half, half customers, half employees. And people were so, oh my God, Linda's here from da da da branch, and they were all excited. And then we just did a local trip to Little Women at Mosesian and brunch at Branch Line. And we had a couple of our lovely ladies from downstairs, greeter and a teller, and they got to come on the trip as well. And they had a great time with customers. It was really, really nice.

Matt 23:12

Nice. So how about what do you have upcoming for Club 50?

Kristy 23:18

Well, we have two big international trips coming up. They're going to Holland and Belgium. It is sold out. There is a trip to Mackinac Island, which is in Michigan. We'll fly into Chicago and then take a boat to Mackinac Island where there are no cars. And out through Detroit. That trip is coming up in May. So those two are the two big trips that are coming up. We have some preview nights coming up. We have some more trip flyers coming up. Our next day trip is to Blithewold in Bristol, Rhode Island. So we can go down there and see the daffodils and then have a high tea and walk around there. And we're also doing Lion King, May 21st. We're going to go see Lion King at the Providence Performing Arts Center. Those tickets will both go on sale shortly. So everything's on our website. That's a matinee show on a weekday, and then followed by dinner, and then return back to here.

Kelly 24:03

We are very excited. We launched a Facebook page just for Club 50 in November 2025 and then an Instagram just the other day. So follow us on our specific Club 50 Insta and Facebook. And yes, we're just loading up on the day trips. Kristy didn't mention she was very instrumental in the Blue Zone event, wellness event that we did with the city. And more of things like that. We're just really continuing to bring people together as much as we can. We'll be out at town days and Faire in the Square in September, but things before that, we're doing fraud prevention talk in Arlington coming up. We're hosting some students here, Bentley students. A shred day at our Market Basket plaza branch. We're busy. It's good. It's all good. All busy, good stuff. Kristy and I are right down in the lobby, just off the lobby.

Matt 24:49

You walk in the front main street entrance and go to the left, and there they are.

Kelly 24:52

There we are. Can sign autographs after the podcast airs. Happy to do it.

Kristy 24:57

We're starting to plan our trips for 2027. So information will be coming about that shortly. So we are starting to plan those trips. ‘26 is pretty good. We're working on trips for ‘27.

Matt 25:06

Anything with Club 50 that I didn't touch on that you want to make sure you talked about?

Kristy 25:11

Just reminding people that it's if you're a member of the bank, you have a checking account, you're over 50 years old and have $25,000 in any capacity in the bank, you're eligible to be a member. There's no fee to join, and you have all these benefits. So we're trying to push more out and just make sure people know that. We're not sure that even all of our bank customers know it. So we're just trying to promote that more. 

Matt 25:30

Great. Well, I'll put links for the website and all your fancy socials in the show notes for people listening. Yeah. Any other last notes before we wrap it up? 

Kelly 25:40

Thank you for all you do, Matt. We appreciate you.

Kristy 25:40

Yeah, thank you.

Matt 25:42

Yeah, thanks for sitting down to chat and goodbye listeners. 

Kristy 25:44

Thank you. 

Kelly 25:44

Goodbye.

So that's it for my conversation with Kelly and Kristy. Again, I'll put links in the show notes to check out more information about Club 50 in the bank. I also want to give an extra thank you to Kelly, Kristy, and Watertown Savings for signing on as sponsors of a new upcoming series for the podcast, which will debut in the episode after this one. It's called The Helping Hand. And it focuses on nonprofit and mission-based organizations and projects within the city. So I'm thrilled to have them on board and sponsoring that. And if you'd like to find out more about the podcast, you can head on over to LittleLocalConversations.com. There you can find all the episodes, upcoming events, sign up for my weekly newsletter. All of that, again, is at LittleLocalConversations.com

All right, and I want to give a few shout-outs here to wrap things up. I want to give a thank you to the Watertown Cultural Council who have given me a grant this year to help support the podcast. So I want to give them the appropriate credit, which is, this program is supported in part by a grant from the Watertown Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. You can find out more about them at WatertownCulturalCouncil.org and MassCulturalCouncil.org. And a couple more shout outs to promotional partners. First, the Watertown Business Coalition. Their motto is Community Is Our Business. Find out more about them and their upcoming events at WatertownBusinessCoalition.com. And lastly, Watertown News, which is a Watertown focused online newspaper. It's a great place to keep up to date with everything going on in the city. Check that out at WatertownMANews.com. So that's it. Until next time, take care.
