WESTBOROUGH – On March 7 – one day before International Women’s Day – the BORO Sugar Shack hosted an opportunity to learn more about women’s challenges and achievements, past and present.

Visitors young and old could chat with local women from a variety of professional and service roles, including a police officer, firefighter and the executive director of Westborough TV. They could also make thank-you cards to women who had an influence in their lives; engage in a game of “Mingle Bingo” where visitors could discover little facts about fellow attendees for a chance to win prizes; and take a photo in front of a special display.

The open house event followed this year’s theme for International Women’s Day, “Inspire Inclusion.”

The program was sponsored by Westborough Connects, the Westborough Women’s Club and the Westborough Historical Society.

Mark your calendars for Westborough Unplugs Week in early May.
