We hope you can join us for this year’s LWV Holiday Dinner at the Westford Regency on Tuesday, December 10. This year, we will start the evening with a social – time to mingle, have a beverage, and catch up with fellow League members. The social will run from 6:15 – 7:00 p.m. This will be followed at 7:00 p.m. by a dinner in the Carlisle Room, with a dedicated waiter. The holiday dinner is a wonderful time to relax, chat, and enjoy the Festival of Trees in the Regency’s lobby.
Please RSVP online today – all members, potential members, spouses, and guests are welcome! There will be separate checks provided for all attendees. In order to ensure we have enough seating for everyone, please RSVP by Sunday December 8 at 5 p.m.
February 9, 2019 marks the 40th anniversary of the first showing of the slide-tape show at the Elks Hall in Forge Village. The League is excited to be able to make this moving documentary of the history of Westford as it changed through the years available online for streaming!
In 1996, a book was created based on the material in the slide-tape show. Westford is available in local businesses (Westford Museum, Muffins on Main), and can now be ordered online.
Please join us in rediscovering this wonderful work about the history of Westford!
The League of Women Voters of Westford is excited to announce their latest publication, “How Westford Works.” This document describes all aspects of town government, and is a great way to get to know how your town works. You can find it at League events (such as the upcoming Candidates’ Night on April 26) or online. It will also be made available at Town Hall and the Library.
The League would like to thank the committee that started with the idea for this document last year and worked to locate and collect all of the information about the Town of Westford in one place. We hope this will be an invaluable resource for residents both new and old.
The League would like to thank Finance Director Dan O’Donnell and Selectman Elizabeth Almeida for leading a fun and informative presentation on town finances. If you missed it live, you can now watch it online. The slides presented are also available online. Even if you attended the presentation, you might want to have more time to look at Dan’s tables and pie charts!
Thanks to the hard work of League members, a new version of the League’s publication “A Guide to Town Meeting in Westford” is now available. Hard copies will be available at town meetings, as well as at the Library and the Town Clerk’s office. You can also download your own copy online from our website.
The Guide is an invaluable resource for anyone who attends, or would like to attend, Westford’s Town Meetings.
