At this time, the Walter E. Fernald Association just finished the largest endeavor of the year - the annual Holiday Wish List.  The Association distributed over 1,150 gifts to the Fernald Center and 11 group homes.  Our heartfelt thanks to all the sponsors who made this possible and to the many, many volunteers who donated their time at the busiest time of the year. This could not have been done without their help.

Now, it's on to the current year and among the events planned that need funding, are:

Employee of the month receptions

Birthday Parties

Valentine's Day Party

Square Dance

Appreciation Dinner

Young at Heart Ball

Annual Memorial Service

Band Concert

Festival (Summer) On Grounds

Evening Concert

Employee of the month receptions

Harvest Ball

Holiday Party for all residents and their families

Annual Wish List

If you would like to fund one of these events, specifically, please contact us by phone (781-647-7724) or e-mail.

Many people choose to make donations in memory of a loved one.  These donations are gratefully accepted and graciously recognized.  The Walter E. Fernald Association will write a letter to the family of the person recognizing your contribution in their memory.
