Letter to the Editor: Norwood Day Thank You!

Norwood Day 2011 is now part of our town’s history; a great day with many laughs, memories and re-introductions of friends, neighbors and classmates.

We kicked off Norwood Day weekend with glorious fireworks, sponsored again by T.G.I. Friday’s. The Town of Norwood and its residents completely enjoyed their gift. They were spectacular!

It seems that, every year, Norwood Day continues to grow in both attendance and a greater variety of activities for its residents. This year we reached an estimated 16,000 people and provided a new Interactive Van - Games 2 Go.

The success of Norwood Day would not be possible without the continuous support from our business community who share our vision. A big “Thank You” to the Town Square Diner (who, every year, generously donates a hearty breakfast to start us off), the Norwood Bank, Comcast, Chestnut Hill Realty, Ellis Nursing Home, Lustra Cleaners, Dedham Savings, Gillooly Funeral Home, Republic Plumbing, Eye Care Specialists, UTI, Jack Madden Ford, Norwood Cadillac, “Consider it Dunn”, T.G.I. Friday’s, Bertucci’s, Lewis’ Olivadi, Giorgio’s, Sky, Napper Tandy’s and the Feisty Greek.

We would also like to thank the Norwood Town Departments who always help on Norwood Day: Department of Public Works, Police Department, Fire Department, Light Department, School Department, Engineering Department, REACT, and the Recreation Department.

In addition, we would like to thank all those who helped make Norwood Day the great day it has become: Committee Members and Volunteers Linda Berger, Dan Burns, Jack Chamberlain, Martha Colamaria, Bernie Cooper, Dolores Elias, Mike Lyons, Lee Kennedy, Joe Greeley, Brian McDonough, Kevin McDonough, Rick Morison, Ernie Paciorkowski, Nicole Pelaggi, Paula Pelaggi, Linda Rau, Reggie Regan, Kevin Shaughnessy, Jack Taylor, Jean Taylor, Howard Weinstein, Eileen and Ron Woodworth, Jim Nassif, Pam Conroy, Mary and Mary Kate Taggart, Dorothy Prevoir, Joe Malinn, Joanne Gleason, Linda Reilly, Tom Lambert, the Freshmen Football Team who helped us to set up early in the morning, and the boys J.V. Soccer, who helped us to take everything down.

See you next year!
