Westwood Select Board is inviting interested volunteers to apply for vacancies in town boards and committees. At the time of this posting, town government bodies in need volunteers are:
Select Board has emphasized the need for a Commissioner on the Dedham-Westwood Water District, a group comprised of six members. Half of its members are Dedham residents and half of its members are from Westwood. It meets twice a month on the first and third Tuesdays of every month, for at least ten months of the year, explained Select Board Clerk Michael Walsh at Select Board's recent meeting.
Descriptions of DWWD's work and that of the other groups in need of volunteers are available on the Town of Westwood's website. Check the website for updates, as openings may be added or positions may be filled, following publication of this posting.
Interested residents should apply by mailing a resume and statement of interest (click here) to its email at selectboard@townhall.westwood.ma.us or its mailing address at Select Board, 580 High Street, Westwood MA, 02090.

I am in complete support of the refurbishing and reopening of Norwood Hospital. I was working at Saint Elizabeth during this time. When steward took over our HOSPITAL group, Caritas Christie. They decimated not only our hospitals, but also two hospitals in the tiny nation of Malta.
Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 38 and low of 24 degrees. Sunny during the morning, light sleet for the afternoon, ice pellets for the evening, clear overnight.
Senator Rush is correct re: the ambulatory services. One only has to drive on RTE 109/Westwood to see the number of out of town ambulances going through town at all times of the day. Then they have to get to Boston or Needham.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
