The children served by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Union County need your help. Our Westfield students head back to school on September 6th. While our children may be financially sound, some families throughout the county struggle to make ends meet. School supplies can be expensive. You can help those less fortunate individuals of our community by donating much needed school supplies. That way, we arm our children with the tools they need to succeed academically and socially.
To signal the end of the Downtown Westfield School Supply Collection 2017 event, Athleta will be hosting a book signing by author Laurie Gelman on September 14th. A Canadian transplant, Laurie now lives in New York City. She’ll be signing copies of her first book, the award-winning novel Class Mom. If you’d like, fill up a backpack of brand new school supplies to drop off when you come see Laurie.
