Staffing the thrift shop

Westbrook Woman’s Club has agreed to provide staff for Cornelia’s Closet at the Westbrook Community Center, 426 Bridge St., each Wednesday. “This allows the store to be open an extra day,” the club announced in a press release.

Cornelia’s Closet is a resale thrift shop and all proceeds go to support the community center. The store is open 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

The club will meet at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 21, in the community center. Debbie Bickford, retired Westbrook High School art teacher, will be the speaker.

New members are always welcome and do not need to reside in Westbrook.

Westbrook Woman’s Club meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month at the community center.
