Sippican Woman’s Club  historic Fourth of July parade photo

The town’s Fourth of July parade may be cancelled this year, but the Sippican Woman’s Club is keeping in the spirit of the holiday by sharing two photos from past parades.

The older photo (below) is from Marion’s 1990 parade, and the photo on the (right) is from the 2005 parade, which also marked the Sippican Woman’s Club centennial. 

 

Sippican Woman’s Club Welcomes New Members
Sippican Woman’s Club welcomed new members at a luncheon given by the executive board, on March 3rd. New members are: Harriet Mercer, Rev MaryAnn Purtill, Melissa Ouellett, Jill Pedersen, Lorraine Charest, Patsy Easterly, Margaret Gray, Vicki Aubrecht. Janet Wallace, Sandra Delgado, Jill Reydel, Joan Gardner, Joanne Petrie, Andria Savery, Jill Pitman.
It was a great time sharing members past experiences and new members stories. This of course, was our last event before the quarantine.  However next year will be another “new member” luncheon.

 

As other clubs and organizations have done, Sippican Woman’s club has responded to Covid 19 quarantine and cancelled their Annual Meeting at the Kittansett Club on April 24.  
The “Oar Project” has been postponed until the summer of 2021.  Members are determined that this is just a “pause” and the Sippican Woman’s Club will resume stronger than ever.

 

SIPPICAN WOMAN’S CLUB SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISER

“Oars for Scholars”

The Sippican Woman’s Club has had a yearly focus on raising money for scholarships since 1947. The Holiday House Tour is always the main event to raise funds. However this summer the Sippican Woman’s Club will have “Oars for Scholars” , when students and local artists will paint their oars or paddles to create individual artistic creations. In the summer, these oars will be displayed around Marion, and a silent auction will ensue.
To begin this project, the students of the Art Club of ORRHS, under the enthusiastic direction of art teacher Kate Butler, have chosen their oar or paddle. Each student is excited to begin to transform their oar/paddle into an unique, distinctive piece of art.
The Sippican Woman’s Club still needs oars or paddles donated to the project, if you have any contact [email protected], and we will pick it up.
Pictured are left to right: Claire Barry, Athena Ip, Sofia Sudofsky, Grayson Lord, Gabe Jacobson, Isabel Friedrichs, Erin Besancon, Sabrina Cunningham, Bella Correia,not pictured are Izzy McCarthy, Tavish Nunes, Jill Ferreira.

If you have and oar to donate please contact [email protected]
