Attleboro Youth Commission President Adam Tellier created a Facebook page in support of Attleboro mayoral candidate Kevin Dumas.
When Adam Tellier, the newly appointed Attleboro Youth Commission president, created a Facebook page in support of Mayor Kevin Dumas' reelection, he had no idea it would upset Dumas. After reading about Dumas' effort to tell the community that it was a scam, Tellier deactivated the page. What he didn't realize is that his personal page clearly showed he was the one deactivating the page. Tellier admitted to creating the page and said he'd be contacting the mayor directly to explain his actions. The high school student, who has volunteered his time at several fundraising events for the community including the Food Pantry, HEAT and Fireworks, said his action had nothing to do with the commission. "This was solely my decision that I believed …

The AYC is looking to commission an Attleboro-themed Monopoly board to celebrate the city’s100th anniversary.
The Attleboro Youth Commission is taking a chance that local businesses will be excited to see themselves and their fellow Attleboro landmarks represented on an official Monopoly board. The ambitious project started as an idea from Youth Commission member Nathan O’Conner, who had begun working on a small scale version of the game. The commission’s chair, Adam Tellier took the project a step further by contacting Hasbro, the maker of Monopoly, to see about the use of their license. From there, the group was directed to a division of Hasbro called USAopoly, which specializes in making custom game boards for cities. That company requires a minimum purchase of 5,000 game sets for an order at a cost of $20 per set. Additionally, there is a one …
