The Museum Mavens tapped into their inner “Femme Fatales” during a private tour of the Addamsfest exhibit! We also got a sneak preview of the exciting plans for the future Rialto. This weekend is your last chance to see the wonderful exhibit of original Addams cartoons and related artwork!

CWC Announces Essay Contest Winner

The College Woman’s Club of Westfield is pleased to announce Westfield resident Anya Balakumaran as the winner of our sophomore essay contest entitled “A Letter to My Younger Self.”  We asked sophomore students to reflect on their ‘younger’ self and to examine their successes and failures. The contest requested they include important messages they might wish to tell their younger self.  

The committee members were impressed with Anya’s maturity, grit, and ability to articulate so clearly and effectively her reflections.  Her essay was very personal.  The committee admired her ability to express profoundly challenging experiences with grace and poise.

Anya was the recipient of a $150 Amazon gift card.  Our members were touched by the essays submitted by the young women.  We wish them all good luck in their remaining HS years.

Through the years, the College Woman’s Club of Westfield has played a singular role in the intellectual, cultural and civic life of Westfield.  We have awarded more than 500 scholarships to Westfield women.  Since 1995, we’ve awarded more than $1M in scholarships.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
