West Roxbury 175th Anniversary Planning wants YOU!
Join the Celebration Committee!
Chase said there will be more planning sessions after, and the WRMS Events Committee will be “leading the charge,” and while funds will be a limiting factor, Chase said they want as many ideas as possible.
“For an event like this, it’s important to get broad perspectives and ideas on what people would like to celebrate,” she said. “And obviously for WRMS, our mission is to support the local businesses, and so there will be a heavy focus both on the businesses that are here now and those who have come before.”
Chase said you need to RSVP, so reach out by Jan. 15 to Director@WRMS.org
