SUMMARY:Strawberry Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Episcopal Church of the Atonement of Westfield\, MA will celebrate its 157thYear of Strawberry Festival on Thursday\, June 20. This year’s beneficiary of funds raised at the event will be the Westfield Soup Kitchen. Tickets for the event are $5. Serving times will be from 4 to 6 pm on the Church lawn at 36 Court Street in Westfield and from 6 to 8 pm on the Town Green (Main/Broad Streets). Tickets may be purchased in advance at the Westfield Farmer’s Market (every Thursday from 12-6 at the Church) or at the event. \n  \nThe Episcopal Church of the Atonement has been conducting this Festival since 1863\, when it started as a fundraiser to build their place of worship–they raised $60. Once their parish was established\, they turned their fundraising effort to supporting the community. Over the years\, many local organizations have benefited from this event. Organizations are chosen by the Church through an application process based on level of need and benefit to the community–and most importantly one that shares their mission. \n  \nThe Westfield Soup Kitchen has been in existence for over 30 years. The Soup Kitchen was established to serve those in need of a dinner meal and fellowship\, free of charge\, each night of the week (except Saturdays)\, no questions asked. Run by volunteers and supported by local community groups\, approximately 15\,000 meals are served annually. Generous volunteers provide meals and the Soup Kitchen provides a safe\, clean\, temperature controlled environment for visitors to sit and eat. The Soup Kitchen is located at 101 Meadow Street\, Westfield. \n  \nThe proceeds from the Episcopal Church of the Atonement Strawberry Festival will greatly help the Westfield Soup Kitchen continue to provide this daily meal service to the Westfield community. We have found a kindred spirit in the Church of the Atonement and we are grateful. In support of your local Soup Kitchen and the Church of Atonement\, we encourage you to enjoy a dish of strawberries with either a biscuit or ice cream –while supplies last! \n  \nWe will be celebrating this event in conjunction with Westfield on Weekends’ presentation of MusicFest. Come on down and eat some strawberries\, enjoy some music and know that you are supporting your fellow community members –one organization at a time.

SUMMARY:Chester High Alumni Coming Home
DESCRIPTION:Chester High School Alumni will be coming home to Chester this year for their 116th annual reunion and meeting on Saturday\, June 29. The meeting draws a large group of people associated with the former Chester High School\, including Chester Residents who graduated from Gateway after Chester High School closed in the late 1960s. This year’s festivities begin with a social hour at 1:00 p.m. at the Chester Railroad Depot and continue informally throughout the entire weekend as “Blue Devils” and “Quarriers” wander around town visiting old friends and relatives. The Association’s annual business meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. and Officers and Board Members will meet at 12:00 p.m. \n  \nChester High has traditions dating back well over one hundred years\, but the Association has no members from that long ago! Among the many mysteries every year are questions like\, “Who will be the oldest member?” and “Who will come from the farthest away?” In the midst of all the reminiscing\, prizes are awarded for the first local and first out of state reservation. There is never a lack of laughter\, perhaps because the threat of detention is long gone even though former teachers frequently attend. All classes will be honored\, especially the fifty-year class of 1969 and twenty-five-year class of 1994. \n  \nDave Pierce of the Chester Foundation has also offered to conduct several tours including the granite saw near the Chester Railroad Station and the double arches. Contact him at dpiercedlp@aol.com for information. Reunion invitations are mailed to Association Members in late May. The reunion is not limited to graduates of Chester High. Anyone who does not receive an invitation may simply send a check (tickets are $7.50 per person\, payable to Chester High School Alumni Association) to Robert Goewey\, 1 Aldrich Avenue\, Huntington MA 01050. Please make reservations no later than June 20.
