For Good. For Ever.
Christmas in July - oh what fun!
It was an evening to remember on July 25th in Westland. Christmas in July has become a staple of Westland community, every year organized by Westland Community Foundation.
Our celebration included a Christmas Tree with so many toys under it, brought by our guests to donate to Westland Salvation Army.
The evening had delicious food and premium drinks from open bar. The guests also brought non perishable food items to donate to Salvation Army.
The air was filled with laughter and christmas carols.
This is the tradition which our Foundation wishes to continue with the help of generous donors, whose hearts are so big.
We would like to give a huge shouout to main sponsors who helped us to make this evening possible.
Santa Sponsor - Wayne County Community College District

Rudolph Sponsor - Westland Car Care
50/50 - Wayne Westland Credit Union
Lottery Ticket Tree Sponsor - Plant Moran

Since 1891, the Michigan Library Association has led the advancement of all libraries through advocacy, education and engagement. Throughout their history, the association continues to serve as champions of access and they stand strong to protect the right to read, and promote intellectual freedom as a core value of the library profession and a basic right in our democratic society.
Their goal through the MI Right to Read (www.mirighttoread.com) initiative is to protect Michiganders’ right to read by proposing pro-active legislation that protects First Amendment Rights, opposing attempts to ban books from Michigan libraries; educate the public about the right to read; and ensure that librarians across Michigan will be entrusted to continue to do their jobs and serve the needs of all individuals and communities.
