How many letters has the Westfield Chapter delivered?

As of early May 2023, our chapter has delivered 2,190 letters!

We just launched a "Letter Blitz" at the Westfield High School, so we are expected to deliver approximately 400 letters in May 2023, bringing our total to nearly 2,500.

Do I have to write letters every month to volunteer?

No, you don't! While we encourage volunteers to write as often as possible (there are real benefits!), it's perfectly okay to join our chapter and volunteer every few months.

What's the difference between the club and chapter?

The Letters for Rose Club is an organized group of students at WHS that meet monthly to do special activities, plan events, and write letters to nursing homes. Club members may receive graduation cords, but have club dues and an attendance policy to abide by.

The Westfield Chapter is simply a name for all volunteers who have contributed to any of our rounds.
