Education Fund Commended For Support of Local Schools THANKS FOR SUPPORT…Thomas Morabito, President of the Education

Fund of Westfield, receives a resolution from Darielle Walsh, President of the Westfield Board of Education, in appreciation of the Fund’s support of the schools.

WESTFIELD – The Education Fund of Westfield received a framed resolution on October 19 from the Board of Education, acknowledging the Fund’s support of the Westfield public schools.

Board President Darielle Walsh presented the resolution at the public meeting to newly-elected President of the Education Fund Thomas Morabito.

Since its inception in 1991, the Education Fund of Westfield has helped raise more than $40,000 to

support programs which might otherwise not be funded through the regular state-capped school budget, according to school district spokeswoman Lorre Korecky.

The board expressed appreciation for teacher and school-based grants totaling $15,000 that were made possible in the last few years by the Education Fund. Special recognition was given to the recent $25,000 grant that funded the installation of specialized computer equipment at Westfield High School.

The confluence of East and West in the 18th century port of Venice yielded furnishings of eminently international character. Our Venetian secretary melds the European baroque with the delicacy of handpainted and gilt chinoiserie. Our extraordinary Venetian chairs elaborately carved, painted and gilt proudly display our mastery of woodcarving and decorative hand finishing. Call it neoeclecticism. Call it the pinnacle of the 20th century’s craftsmans art. Call it magnificent.
