Dear friends,

This is a reminder that the Service for Shirley will be at St. Andrew’s Church in Wellesley at 10:00 am tomorrow, Friday July 21. The Reception will follow at 12:00 noon at North Hill’s Summa Dining Room. All are welcome.

To park for the reception, please come all the way to the guest lot just beyond the “O” building. Once you have parked, please come to the Grand Lobby for your nametag and directions to the Summa Dining Room. If you are a carful of folks, the driver might want to drop passengers at the Grand Lobby to save them the walk!
