We had a terrific Opening Meeting on September 16 as our Club celebrated 80 years of Service to Needham. Many thanks to all Board members and also to the 80th birthday committee who worked so hard to make the night a great success. We had over 60 people in attendance, we signed up quite a few new members and State Representative Denise Garlick was a wonderful speaker. And she brought with her from the State House congratulatory citations from the Governors office, the House of Representatives and the State Senate as well!
We also had a special visit from three representatives of the Massachusetts Greater Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) who spoke about the great history of women’s clubs in Massachusetts and presented us with a special 80th birthday certificate.
