WB's Laurie Mitchenson is Walking to End Alzheimers
My mother in law, who I've known since I was 14 years old and is like a second mother to me, has this horrible disease. It's been extremely hard to see her going through this! Not only is it hard to see her going through this, it's very hard on...

Historical Tidbit:
School District No. 4
"This school was in charge of Miss Caroline Howard of West Bridgewater, who, being young and inexperienced, and having been a schoolmate of some of her pupils, succeeded quite as well as could have been expected. A little more voice, on the part of both teacher and scholars, especially the latter, would have improved the appearance of the school very much, and rendered the examination more satisfactory. We regarded the school as ordinarily successful; which, under the circumstances, must be encouraging to the teacher."
From: Annual Reports of West Bridgewater for the year ending March 1, 1860

Get Your Grants Ready West Bridgewater Artists!
Mass Cultural Council's Local Cultural Council (LCC) Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, humanities, and sciences annually. Each year, LCCs award more than $3 million in grants. Currently, there are 329 local and regional councils that represent all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth, these councils are local volunteers, approving grants for local arts & culture projects.
Applicants may apply to the LCC Program for projects, operating support, ticket subsidy programs, artist residencies, fellowships or other activities, based on local priorities and needs. LCCs may also choose to fund cultural field trips for children, grades pre-K through 12, by subsidizing the cost for children to attend programs in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences (including performances, educational tours and exhibits).
The LCC application process can be quite competitive. Because of the large number of requests and the limited funds available for regranting, many LCCs receive far more applications than they can fully, or even partially, fund. Average grants tend to be modest ($500-$750).

Support a Kayak launch and dock - Eagle Scout project
by Evan Kaprelian
I am raising money to have a kayak/canoe launch and dock installed in West Bridgewater’s Town River.
This is my Eagle Scout project and I picked this because I personally enjoy kayaking and have been out on the river many times but the town does not currently have a launch. This makes it difficult for some people to use the river. I hope my project helps others enjoy kayaking and our Town River more.
