Over 100 attendees dressed up in fun hats and outfits for Westwood Community Chest's (WCC's) annual Blue Ribbon Derby themed Gala at Brookmeadow Country Club in Canton, helping to raise more than $50,000 for grants to Westwood residents in need of financial assistance.
The event featured Southern cuisine, horse-racing-themed drinks, and a silent auction with over 50 items that included sports tickets, vacation getaways, and restaurant and retail experiences.
WCC is a volunteer-run non-profit organization. Along with short-term, confidential assistance to Westwood residents in the form of grants, WCC also provides summer camperships - scholarships to help finance summer activities for school-aged children.
Thanks to Westwood Community Chest for sharing this news with Westwood Minute.

Yay Westwood! To look up whether specific items are recyclable in our carts (only clean paper, cardboard, bottles, cans and rigid containers), check out the searchable Recyclopedia here https://recyclesmartma.org/
Has there been a breakdown of how much of the contaminated recycling comes from commercial vs. residential recycling bins?
The rebooted project has been described as about 20 percent smaller in square footage and about $1.62 million or 4 percent less expensive than the prior proposal, using dollars not adjusted for inflation.…. Is this really better?
No. But it’s only going to get worse. Just like it would have been better to build a combined station. Let’s just vote Yes before it gets any worse.
Get worse? It did. This latest plan is a farce. 40,000,000? So much for the steering committee doing their research. Anybody take the time to read the opponent's reference in the question #10 mailing from the town? His example being what thery did in Rockland? About what we could get for so much less.
