Worcester Technical High School
Address: 1 Skyline Dr, Worcester, MA 01605, USA

We've changed this meeting from "Bubble and Ad Roast" to suit speaker availability and member interest.

Part I: Technology Tips

We're going to start with two brief member presentations on software and washing machines. We have a new piece of software you may want to know about. We're also going to be reviewing the latest hardware you should know about if you have a washing machine or hookups in your units.

Part II: Main Presentation: Emotional Support Animals

We've reordered this meeting to address a topic that has immediate implications for a lot of owners and managers: the rise of the $80 emotional support animal. We want to start by explaining the legitimate use cases for emotional support animals, cover the discrimination law that protects these use cases, and talk about the practical implications of a public policy where disabilities remain secret. Are they unverifiable? No, and we'll be covering the "verification of disability" process that owners and managers should follow. Learn to fairly differentiate between legitimate emotional support animals and fake ones.

This part of the presentation will be given by Attorney Carl Lindley, Jr. Attorney Lindley is a partner at Farber and Lindley, LLC. He has been practicing law in Massachusetts for 14 years and is admitted to practice before the United States District Court and United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He is also a landlord in Worcester County, a licensed real estate broker and licensed to complete moderate risk de-leading on his own properties.
