MARINERS served by Seafarers International House, based in New York City, will be a little happier and warmer due to the efforts of The Knit Wits of St. Stephen Lutheran Church, Marlborough, and the Shrewsbury-based Night Knitters. Thirty gift satchels for the Mariners included handmade hats and scarves, a sweatshirt, a t-shirt, a pair of socks, a can of nuts, and a handmade Christmas card. Seafarers are often isolated and lonely, sometimes without the means to contact family frequently, or purchase needed items while in port. Those who knitted, donated, or put together the satchels this year included Joyce Danielson, Lina Dickey, Martha Domke, Marlea Dutt, Ginny Fulham, Ann Gibson, Pastor Joe Graumann, Liz Greer, Peg and Don Harbert, Judy Kellogg, Elaine Recklet, Melanie Whapham and Jane Woolsey. The project was organized by Melanie Whapham.

You may remember RON YOUNG, former President & CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metrowest. 

Ron passed away Dec. 2, 2021, at his home in Palm Springs, Calif. after a 19-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Ron had over 40 years in Boys & Girls Clubs with the last 11 years of his career at BGCMW. He was a dedicated, persistent, committed president who had a vision of creating a regional organization. 

Under his leadership, the Marlborough, Hudson and Framingham Clubs came together as one and formed the Metrowest regional organization. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife of 33 years, Jan Swallow. 

In 2019 Ron was inducted into BGCMW’s Hall of Fame. Because of his legacy, he will always be a part of BGCMW.
