The Sippican Woman’s Club will hold its monthly meeting on Friday, November 12 at St. Gabriel’s Parish Hall. We will hold our business meeting from noon – 12:30 pm followed by lunch from 12:30 pm – 1:00 pm. We ask that you bring your own lunch, bottled water and dessert will be provided. At 1:00 pm –We are fortunate to have Anthony “Tony” Jaccaci, the new Head of School at Tabor Academy join us. Tony and his family (his wife Lucia Murphy and 3 sons, 1 of whom is a Junior at Tabor, the other 2 are away at college) arrived at Tabor over the summer. Tony is looking forward to not only getting acquainted with the Tabor students but also the people in the surrounding communities of Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester. We too look forward to hearing about Tabor and his plans as he takes the helm to guide students and faculty in the future. The public is welcome to attend, please contact Jeanne Lake (508) 748-0619 and inform Jeanne that you plan to attend.
On Thursday, December 2 our next meeting will be an off-site guided tour of Highfield Hall & Gardens, a restored estate of the Beebe family, in Falmouth. Event stylist Rita Pacheco leads the holiday transformation of the estate by blending old world charm with contemporary elements. Outside is the Patrick Dougherty Stickwork sculpture and an outdoor holiday “village”. If you love fairy houses, you will enjoy these woodland vignettes. We will depart from Marion via car pool promptly at 9:00 am – departing from Island Wharf by the Band Stand. Tour begins at 10:00 am in Falmouth. Pre-registration is required with debush2@verizon.net.
