More than you really want to know about Wellesley, Mass.
More than 100 people from Wellesley and surrounding communities gathered in Wellesley Square on Sunday to mourn for victims of the Christchurch, New Zealand mosque attacks that left at least 50 dead and many more wounded.
Here’s coverage of the event from WCVB Channel 5 Boston.
The Wellesley Board of Selectmen will host a public forum on diversity during its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, Jan. 14, from 7:15 to 8:15 p.m.
Panelists will discuss how welcoming Wellesley is and how the town can become more open. Community reps will include:
The Selectmen’s meeting and forum will be live streamed by Wellesley Media on Comcast channels 8 & 9 or Verizon channels 39 & 40.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department has notified news organizations that a 57-year-old Wellesley woman was hit by a falling piece of ice on Sunday and suffered fatal injuries.
The woman, whose name has not been released publicly by officials, had been hiking with family and friends on the Frankenstein Cliff Trail in Hart’s Location, NH., among the White Mountains. Associated Press reports that “multiple agencies responded to the scene and the woman was taken to a hospital where she later died.”
75 years of service is something to celebrate in a big way, and the Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club (WHJWC) has big plans. You’ve probably seen the gold balloons around town. There are nearly 200 of them, one at the home of each of the club’s members and sustainers. It’s a way to not only recognize their contribution to the WHJWC legacy, but to show Wellesley how the club members who work side-by-side to make a meaningful difference live all over.
In addition to the balloons, an anniversary banner to mark the milestone is on display along Weston Road. The Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club invites all former members who have not joined as a sustainer to do so by going to www.whjwc.org. Sustainers will get the latest information about additional anniversary events going on in the coming year, including a gala celebration to be held March 1 at the Wellesley Country Club.
