Mrs. Swellesley hangs with the cool girls of Wellesley Friendship Circle

February 6, 2020 by Deborah Brown 2 Comments

There’s no better way to start off the week than hanging out with the sociable crew at Wellesley Friendship Circle. I was invited to speak to the group of about 15, who wanted to know all about how my husband and co-editor Bob Brown and I deliver “more news than you really want to know about Wellesley, Massachusetts.”

Wellesley Friendship Circle
Hanging with the cool girls of Wellesley Friendship Circle. They invited me in to talk about my Swellesley Report adventures and how Bob and I started this whole crazy endeavor.

Friendship Circle is a social group for senior women in Wellesley, which meets on Mondays through mid-May. Hosted by Wellesley Friendly Aid and the Wellesley Service League, members enjoy a wide range of activities including crafts, holiday parties, various guest speakers, and musical performances. Transportation and lunch are provided.

Of course I stuck around for lunch and chit-chat. Thanks for having me, ladies. You all photograph beautifully.

    What a great idea to invite Mrs. Swellesley to talk about how the Swellesley Report came to be and continues to thrive in this sadly challenging time for local news outlets. Tip O’Neill said, “All politics is local.” Well, to paraphrase, often the most important news to a community is local. Kudos to the Friendship Circle for recognizing the importance of The Swellesley Report to our community, and to the Swellesley Report for hanging tough in these times!

    You did an absolutely SWELL presentation to us. They thoroughly enjoyed meeting one half of the team and they had seen the recent pix of you spending time with me for a tour and coffee at our TPC !
