May 19th is the deadline for the next round of applications for Westwood Community Chest's (WCC's) campership awards, which are financial aid awards of up to $800 per child to help Westwood families send their children to summer camp.
Eligible recipients are children residing in Westwood who are in kindergarten to twelfth grade. While WCC does not reimburse for fees already paid, it makes payment directly to the summer camp on a prospective basis.
WCC reviews campership applications at several different times during the year. March and April campership awards have been granted, and May 19th is the next upcoming deadline for the current award cycle. For the online application and more information, visit https://westwoodcommunitychest.org/campership/.
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 for the morning, light sleet in 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.
