Editor’s Note: The following was submitted by the Medfield Lions Club.
As many residents may recall, the Medfield Lions Club held an annual “Toll Road” Collection in the springtime. Lions Club members would be positioned around the center of town and at busy Saturday morning spots like Blue Moon Café and Starbucks asking for donations to support the Mass. Lions Eye Research Fund.
Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus, the Medfield Lions were not able to hold a MLERF collection in 2020; this year, in lieu of a “Toll Road” collection, there will be an opportunity for everyone to donate coins, bills or even VENMO a donation to the “Coins for Change” MLERF Collection.

cherished son of the late Albert J. and Yolanda (Iacoviello) Manganello.
A lifelong Medfield resident, Al graduated Medfield High School in 1964.He excelled at football, and was a proud Warrior. Al enlisted in the Marines shortly after graduation. He proudly served two and a half years, including 14 months in the Vietnam War.
When Lance Cpl. Manganello finished his tour in Vietnam, he returned home to Medfield and worked in the oil business, where he met his future wife, Lorraine. An opportunity close to home, and closer to his heart, arose when the new Medfield Legion was complete in the early 1970 s. Al
