THANK YOU YWCA GLI PROGRAM & NCCF

We would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the YWCA of Westfield and specifically their Girls Leadership Initiative program, as well as the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation program for donating $500 to the Westfield Rec Dept’s Welch Field summer program!

A special thank you to Westfield’s own Isabella Kurtz (pictured) and Nora Robinson for recommending the Rec Dept to be the recipient of this mini-grant award as part of their entrepreneurship project!!

We would also like to thank YWCA Board President Kathryn Bronstein, YWCA Board Vice President Beth Patri, YWCA Executive Director Stephanie Stevens, YWCA GLI Program Director Bonnie Hartley, NCCF Ralph C. Wilson Jr Rural Philanthropy Fellow Jeannie Gallaway, and NCCF Community Engagement Coordinator Leslie Wille!

It was such a blessing to not only receive this mini-grant award, but to attend a meeting of the GLI to hear about the impact the community of Westfield and the Rec Dept has had on their lives. We really appreciate the Girls Leadership Initiative as well as the collaboration between our three organizations.

This donation will greatly benefit our ability to provide a high quality summer program for our local youths!

HELP US KEEP WELCH FIELD CLEAN!!!

Hello Parents and Other Community Members,

Now that the weather is nice, we have had dozens of children playing at Welch Field daily after school and in the evening, as well as weekends. We absolutely LOVE that the children enjoy coming to Welch Field and play. That's what it's all about!

But, sadly with the increase in numbers at the park, the increase of garbage and the place being trashed has gone up as well. So, we're asking all parents as well as other community members to remind your children to please throw away their garbage. We have multiple garbage cans at Welch Field. Yet, the park and specifically our fieldhouse patio area is routinely left trashed. We would be truly appreciative if you can remind your children to do their part to help keep the park clean so that it can continue to be a place that is a beautiful part of our wonderful community!

Thanks,
Andrew Webster
Recreation Director
