The Board of Selectmen presented the Wilmington Sons of Italy with a certificate in appreciation for their $6,400 donation for a "Welcome to Wilmington" sign on Monday, Sept. 26. Town Manager Jeffrey Hull said he was asked about putting up a "Welcome to Wilmington" sign about a year ago. He also said he wanted to place the sign at a "prominent" location, such as the town common.
The sign was created by a sign maker out of Tewksbury, according to Hull. Selectman Kevin Caira said, "The Sons of Italy has done a lot for this community, and the community has done a lot for the Sons of Italy. So we work hand-in-hand." Selectman Mike Champoux said, "Wilmington is defined by its volunteerism," adding that the donation is "a testament to the generosity of the Sons of Italy."
