The Aaron Guild Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will be holding its 21st Annual Garage/Estate Sale on Saturday, May 3 from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Barlow Lane in Westwood (the first house on the right on Barlow Lane, just off Route 109).
For sale will be household items, jewelry, kitchen utensils, bric-a-brac, toys, books, tools, small furniture, and estate items. Come early for the best selection! For more information on the sale, call Sunny O’Malley at 781-326-7799.
The proceeds will be used to support DAR’s patriotic, historic, and educational endeavors, such as the Good Citizen Award given to ten deserving high school seniors from the area who were chosen as Good Citizens by their classmates and teachers. At graduation in June, each will receive a check from the Aaron Guild Chapter. The Chapter also donates the magazine “American Spirit” to four public libraries in the area: Canton, Norwood, Westwood, and Walpole.
The Aaron Guild Chapter of the DAR is made up of members from the towns of Norwood, Westwood, Walpole, Canton, and Medfield, as well as other nearby communities. The Daughters of the American Revolution is a patriotic service organization, open to any woman over the age of 18, regardless of race, ethnic background, or creed, who can prove direct lineal descent from a soldier, sailor, or patriot rendering material aid to the American Revolution. The Aaron Guild Chapter welcomes new members. Those who are interested in joining can call Sunny O’Malley at the above phone number for more information.

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.
What is the citizen's petition about? I checked the town website, and the only information I could find on town meeting articles was from last year. The public hearing dates for 2026 are posted as February 24-25.
Apparently, you need to submit a public records request through the town's FOIA portal. What a shame, since it should have been posted to the town website upon certification of petition signatures.
Westwood Minute has obtained a copy of the petition and has added a short description of it to the article. A copy of the petition is attached below the article.
