WESTFIELD—If you would like to meet some of the candidates that will be in next month’s city election, then you will want to visit the Westfield Senior Center on Thursday.
The Westfield Senior Center on Noble Street will be holding a Meet and Greet Open House with the candidates on Thursday, Oct. 12, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The event, which is open to the public and everyone is urged to attend, will provide those in attendance with a chance to meet the candidates, as well as talk with them in a more informal format than a question-and-answer session.

“It’s a nice opportunity for older adults, especially those who can’t drive at night, to meet candidates during the day,” Tina Gorman, Director of the Westfield Council on Aging, said.
According to Gorman, invitations to the event were sent to each candidate. Those invited include City Council candidates, School Committee candidates, Gas and Electric Commission candidates and Athenaeum Board of Trustees candidates, as well as Mayor Brian Sullivan.
Gorman said that the meet-and-greet will be informal, allowing for conversations to occur between those in attendance with candidates. No speeches will be made during the event, except for one where Gorman said she will introduce the candidates who attend.
In addition to candidates, there will also be coffee and Danish provided for those who go.
