The weather cleared just long enough on Saturday so we could have our annual DDTC Cookout. The skies cleared around 3:30 and began raining sporadically around 5:00. The large maple tree in Marilyn’s backyard provided ample protection until just about 6:00 when the skies opened up and we had to retreat.
School Committee Member Gabe Lopes and his wife joined us and presented this years DDTC college scholastic scholarship to DHS graduate Tess Wallenstein, who attended with her dad.. In presenting the scholarship, Committee Member Lopes described Tess’ impressive scholastic achievement and numerous extracurricular activities inside and outside the Danvers school system. Tess will be attending the University of Massachusetts in Amherst majoring in political science with the goal of becoming a lawyer. Senator Joan Lovely also joined us congratulating Tess on her accomplishments and best wishes for her future. Following the cookout, Tess went to work her shift at Sam & Joes.
We were able to enjoy hamburgers and hot dogs and the side dishes and deserts brought by committee members but the weather did not allow a meeting. There will not be a meeting in July.
Thank you to Marilyn for hosting the event and to everyone who brought side dishes and/or deserts.
