Girl Power, a running club for adolescent girls in Milton, also received $1,500. Three organizations received $500 each: the Germantown Neighborhood Center in Quincy, part of the South Shore YMCA; Joanna’s Place, a Weymouth nonprofit that provides support to children and families going through tough times; and Old Colony Hospice, a nonprofit hospice care provider based in Randolph.
Construction recently finished on an 18-unit condominium complex in Pembroke. Developed by Plymouth-based Megryco Inc., the condos at 599 Washington Place (below) include one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 900 to 2,200 square feet. Prices are between $250,000 and $399,000. The property, which had once been the site of an Animal Rescue League of Boston shelter, is on 5 wooded acres near Route 3. A model unit is open, and some tenants have already moved in. About half of the units are still for sale.
The Mirbeau Inn & Spa (above) at The Pinehills in Plymouth recently opened the Garden Bar, a new outdoor dining option near its Monet-inspired gardens and ponds.

The Garden Bar is open from 4 to 9 p.m. daily and will remain open as long as weather permits.
Miltons, the men’s clothing store with locations at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree and Chestnut Hill, was recently honored by a magazine covering the menswear industry. MR gave its Excellence in Specialty Store Retail award, which goes to just one business nationwide, to the company.
