The Week Ahead: Mammograms, Networking and Understanding Disabilities

A look at the upcoming week in and around Reading.

As another weekend comes and goes, you're once again wondering what's going on in and around the town you call home this upcoming week.

You can catch a show at the Stoneham Theatre or Quannapowitt Players, see Shonda Schilling(a NY Times best selling author and wife of retired Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling) talk about understanding disabilities, or get a mammogram that seems more like a relaxing day at the spa. You can also head to Saint Athanasius Church to shed some light on the job hunting experience.
