No Arlingtonian should be alone on Christmas Day.  You are now invited to attend our Annual Christmas Dinner and share the day with many other Arlington residents. (We call them new friends!)  

Every year since 1977, the BOWES family has extended an invitation to anyone eating alone on this special day. We host a wonderful turkey dinner, with all the trimmings, at the Arlington Lodge of Elks.  Dinner is prepared and served by our amazing group of volunteers who look forward to meeting new and familiar faces each year.

It is a fun filled day and a great way to spend the afternoon. There is no charge and transportation to and from the dinner is available. The only requirements are that you are an Arlington resident and that you would otherwise be eating alone.

You may reserve a space by calling me at 781-645-0550.  So, please accept this invitation and don’t procrastinate! We want you to share your Christmas Day with us and look forward to meeting you.

Bob Bowes

We are so proud to be the 2010 recipient of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce “Business of the Year” award.  Since 1945, we have continually reinvented ourselves and continue to invest in the community that has been so good to us.  Whether it is the garden island we maintain at the corner of Mass Ave and Appleton St, hosting our 33rd Annual Christmas Dinner for Arlington residents, supporting our schools, the Boys & Girls club, the Patriot’s Day parade, pony rides at Town Day…more events and organizations than we can list in a blog entry!  Participating in the Arlington community remains our top priority, and we are honored to be recognized by the Chamber for our community commitment.

We are especially proud of our 99% customer satisfaction rating and grateful for the support of the thousands of satisfied clients we have represented over the past sixty five years.
