On Wednesday June 11, 2014 President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak at Worcester Technical High School’s Commencement Ceremonies at the DCU Center. After his speech in Worcester he will take Marine One to Boston where he will then move on to headline a dinner in Weston benefiting the Domacratic Senatorial Campaign Committee at the home of Joanne and Paul Egerman.
If you see a bunch of official looking helicopters after dinnertime on Wednesday, it’s probably the President.
The Worcester Police Department has issues a traffic advisory for tomorrow.
