On September 29, an enthusiastic group of CWC members and their friends met at Echo Lake Country Club for the CWC Fall Welcome Back event.  Over 40 women shared stories about their pandemic experience and filled one another in on their lives after 18 months without connecting as a large group. 

President Anne Wargo made a few remarks, stressing our role in the Westfield community as “supporters of women at every stage of their life cycle”.  On October 25, we are hosting a need based and merit based financial aid webinar.   Link is here: https://bit.ly/RegisterFinancialAid.
