To the editor:

The Sippican Woman’s Club sincerely thanks the five Marion homeowners who graciously opened their homes for the Club’s annual Holiday House Tour on December 7.

The Sippican Woman’s Club members; sponsors; florists; designers; volunteers, including student volunteers; the Marion Police, DPW and other Town departments; Tabor Academy and the Beverly Yacht Club all played important roles in bringing this annual event together. We especially thank all those who participated in the Tour. The many attendees walking around town to the homes were a festive sight on a beautiful December day.

We appreciate the publicity and support we have received from our local press — both Sippican Week and The Wanderer.  Our local shops and store assisted in ticket sales — The General Store and Mimis in Marion and Isabelle’s in Mattapoisett; and the many locations that allowed us to display posters promoting our recent Holiday House Tour. 

Because of the generosity of the entire Marion community, the Tour was a big success and will provide scholarships to Marion students seeking higher education.

Sincerely,

Priscilla Bradley,

Sippican Woman’s Club President
