Dinner Program in Whittier Home Garden

On June 12th the Whittier Home Association will celebrate their annual Garden Meeting with a new slant on time and refreshments. In place of an afternoon tea, a buffet dinner will be served at 5 p.m. in the Victorian Garden at 86 Friend St. in Amesbury.

“We hope you will join us for an evening of good food, entertainment, and relaxing conversation in the beautiful garden of the Whittier Home,” President Christina Bryant said. A buffet dinner will be served, followed by a short business meeting. 

            The featured speaker will be Margie Walker, author of “The Legendary Locals of Amesbury.” She will focus specifically on John Greenleaf Whittier, his home and his works. The book, signed by the author, will be available for purchase at the meeting.

            The event is free to members.  A donation of $10 is requested from non-members and can be paid at the door. However, advance reservations are preferred by leaving a message on the WHA phone line, 978-388-1337.

In the event of rain, the meeting will be held inside the Home.
