Wellesley Cotillion 2020 attendees dance the night away at Lombardo’s

January 6, 2020 by Deborah Brown

Although the New England Patriots and their fans didn’t have anything to celebrate last Saturday night, Wellesley’s junior and seniors managed to party on at Cotillion 2020.  The annual formal dance was held at Lombardo’s in Randolph, where over 700 guests danced (and watched the game on available big-screen tvs). The 80-year tradition was kept going by over 150 parent volunteers.

Co-Chair Linda Messore said she and co-chairs Sarah Greene and Kate Yen “…are grateful for the efforts of the entire Cotillion Committee, our 100+ Cotillion Parent Volunteers, Tom Zinck and the WHS Custodial Staff, the Wellesley Police Department, the Lombardo’s staff, Student Supervisors Chuck Bognanni, Tom Denman, and Dan Sorrell; and everyone who played a part in making this a night to remember.

Thanks to volunteers for these great pics:

All Cotillion attendees travelled round-trip to the event via luxury motor coach service from either Wellesley High School (WHS) or the The Boys & Girls Club in Dorchester. No privately hired limos or taking their own cars allowed.
