The Guild has chartered a bus to take WCS fifth graders and interested members of the community to the Statehouse in Boston, where the students will present the Warwick flag to be hung in the Hall of Flags. On Friday, October 17. the bus will depart Warwick Town Hall at 9 am and return by 7 pm. Senator Stephen Brewer will give a tour of the Statehouse. Please contact Patricia Lemon at 544-7463 to reserve your seat. The Guild is paying for the students; others are asked to pay $25.52. If thirty or more people sign up for the outing, the price drops to $15.18. Send your check to Nancy Kilhart, 160 Flower Hill Road.
Better yet, give it to her at the next Guild meeting at the Town Hall on Wednesday, September 3, at 1 p.m. (You can always add extra as a donation to help support this and other Guild projects, if you see fit.)
All women of Warwick are Guild members, so please join us at our meetings!
Here is the "Welcome to Warwick" sign in place!
If you would like to make a donation to help the Women's Guild defray the expense of the new sign, please send it to our treasurer: Mrs. Nancy Kilhart, 160 Flower Hill Rd., Warwick, MA 01378.
