| Good news! Executive Director Rick Mascaro has gifted our backs and bottoms with new seating in the theater. If the delivery gods cooperate, the new chairs should be in place for the competition. Thank you, Rick!! |

| And the good news continues. We are so pleased and proud to share that board director Marilyn Hemmer and her husband, John, have been awarded the 2026 George B. Weaver Jr. Footprints Award by the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation. This prestigious recognition celebrates “individuals who create ‘footprints’ for others to follow through their community service and philanthropy.” We certainly know that Westfield is a more vital and vibrant place to live because of this dynamic duo. Our heartiest congratulations to them. They’ll receive their award at the June 29 NCCF Annual Meeting. |
