The Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club (WHJWC) hosted the 42nd Annual Wellesley Marketplace at Wellesley High School location, Proceeds from the show are given back to the community in the form of need-based scholarships and grants. Here are a pics of a few Wellesley residents who worked the tables as vendors or community groups:
