Board Member Greg Perotta, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, Noted Attorney Josh Koskoff, Board Member and Event Organizer Darcy Hicks, Congressman Jim Himes.
Guests celebrated in Roaring Twenties style Saturday night at the Longshore, former estate of F.E. Lewis, the inspiration of F. Scott Fitzgeralds Great Gatsby. Period costumed guests sipped vintage cocktails and danced to tunes of the age and enjoyed a fabulous dinner at this fundraising event and celebration for the Westport Museum For History And Culture.
This was the Museums largest fundraising event of the year, however a technical glitch prevented the receipt of donations at the event. To help the fundraising effort be a success you may donate at: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/westport-historical-society-inc/roaring-20s-gala

Staples Baseball Hammered By Danbury 12-2
Staples catcher narrowly misses the tag at home.
The varsity game started out well enough, with two hits for the Wreckers in the first inning but it went downhill fast and for good, with Danbury ending the game in the fit inning under the mercy rule which states the a game will end after one team leads by 10 runs after five innings of play. Danbury loaded the bases in the fifth and scored and the game was "mercifully" ended. Three Staples pitchers attempted to stop the Hatters, but to no avail. The JV team faired no better, also losing to Danbury. Staples varsity is now 3-2 overall, 1-2 in league play. There is a home game on Saturday against Hall and on Monday they face Westhill also at home.
