CTM’s mission is: To empower our community to stay connected and informed by using digital media technology. We achieve that goal by broadcasting, recording and archiving almost every municipal meeting. We teach students media literacy and production, and we bring you school sports, concerts and more. Plus, we help any member of the community freely express themselves by creating their own video programming. In short, we give voice to the Chelmsford community.

To provide the opportunity for education, appreciation, and advancement of the art of quilting. Programs include guest speakers, show and tell, holiday parties, member workshops, round robins, mystery quilts and challenge quilts. At every meeting, you can join raffles for a theme-related fat quarter, wearing your guild name-tag and monthly swap blocks. You can also purchase tickets for raffle prizes. Guild members donate quilts for community projects, such as Chernobyl Children and Comfort Quilts for nursing home residents, and support local charities. As a guild member, you have access to both the expanding library and the monthly newsletter, and we do a quilt show every other year.
