Winterfest is February 21st

January 28th, 2010

Chili, sledding, ice skating… all the things that help make Michigan winters bearable (or less unbearable) can be found at the Westacres Winterfest! The Women’s club would really like someone to chair this event, but we’ll consider any sort of help as we work to provide you with an afternoon of snow-filled fun. Email us at the link on this page, or call Erin Connelly at 363-0859.

Winterfest

January 10th, 2010

Winterfest is traditionally the time for us to get together after the holidays for a spot of skating, sledding and chili tasting. This event is sponsored by the Women’s Club, but we really do need help to ensure that this event is a success. If you have a few hours to spare one weekend before the snow melts, please call Erin Connelly at 363-0859 to see how you can help us with this event.
