US Representative James P. McGovern, April 25th 2022

Jim was born and raised in the Burncoat neighborhood of Worcester. The values he learned from his friends and family are the same ones he fights for every day in Congress: fairness, decency, respect for all people, and the idea that each of us has an obligation to give back to our community. Jim’s parents, Walter and Mindy, own a small package store in Worcester, and his sisters are both public school teachers. He is married to Lisa Murray McGovern and they have two children, Patrick and Molly.

First elected to Congress in 1996, Jim has fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts and has earned the respect and trust of his colleagues – including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who named him Chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee during the 116^th Congress.

Rep. McGovern has fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts Second District by:

• Successfully ensuring that federal aid is available for family farms following unusual droughts in Massachusetts by ensuring that economic injury disaster loans are available to farmers in addition to standard disaster assistance.
• Working directly with the FAA and the City of Worcester to secure funding for a new, state-of-the art Category III instrument landing system at Worcester Regional Airport that allows airplanes from destinations across the country to land and take off in all weather conditions.
• Bringing millions of dollars’ worth of federal funding to Worcester that have played a key role in the ongoing redevelopment and revitalization projects downtown like City Square, the Gardner, Kilby Hammond Neighborhood Revitalization Project and the Castle Park project in Main South.
• Championing the creation of the Blackstone River Valley National Historical Park to highlight the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, and securing federal funding for the new state-of-the-art Visitors Center and bike path that runs along the river.

Joe Miller – Miller Fence, March 28th, 2022

Traditionally, fencing preformed a function – that of a barrier. More recently, the aesthetic appeal has increased. By integrating function and aesthetics, we produce The Miller Fencescape.

Miller Fencescapes harmonize with their surroundings, Details of landscape, function and personal lifestyle are all considered in the design.

Designing a successful fencescape is not a simple procedure; your involvement is necessary. We ask questions and suggest variations of fence styles, materials and stains – all affecting the outcome. We take it seriously, because we believe your Miller Fencescape should enhance your property while reflecting your personality.

Presentation 31-January 2022

Golden Rule Home Care is committed to helping our seniors and others stay independent in their own homes for as long as possible. We will treat each of our clients with honesty, integrity, reliability, respect and consistency while honoring their privacy, dignity, property and family customs.

We accomplish this by employing only first-rate staff members who embrace the values of “The Golden Rule”. Every staff member will provide seniors with excellent care by maintaining Golden Rule’s high level of ethics and integrity, and give their very best in everything they do, day after day.

John-Paul R. Plouffe In 2007, John-Paul began his career in home care as the Director of Operations with a Boston based home care company.  As a lifetime resident of Massachusetts, he understands the culture, the people, their wants and needs.  In addition to being a professional in the business, John-Paul has personal experience as an advocate for family members who needed care.  Having gone through this experience personally has added greatly to his empathy and understanding of what families go through during this phase in life.

He says, “I have always been drawn to people with a lot of life experience, even from my youth.”  Before co-founding Golden Rule Home Care with his wife, Tricia, he had been able to observe what works best, and what doesn’t work well in the home care industry.  In order to give the very best of care, and “treat those we are responsible for, as we would want our own family members to be treated”, the best option was to create Golden Rule.
