2009 Spring Barbeque

The Friends would like to thank all of you who turned out for the Spring Barbeque. The weather was wonderful (well, up until that thundershower!), and the turnout was overwhelming! We want to thank the musicians, Inimicus and The Roasted Ramblers for entertaining us. We also want to thank the former East Boston Camps campers for the pictures, the stories, and the support. For those of you who entered the raffle, we're sorry that the rain kept us from holding the drawing as planned - we will be drawing the name of the winner at our next Friends meeting on June 15 and announcing the winner shortly thereafter.

For those of you who took the opportunity to join the Friends, we are very grateful for your support. For those who did not have a chance to join but would like to, please Join the Friends now.

Thanks again, and please look for future Friends events to support the Camps.

Check out the photos of the event below and more photos on westford.com.
