Westfield: A Period of Growth and Progress
By: Dave Mueller
Westfield, A Period of Growth and Progress is a new book that captures the history of Westfield from 1998 – 2023. This book has over 200 pages, 100 color photos, and 40-chapter authors. It is important to capture our history for generations to come. Chapters include (Westfield’s First Mayor) by Andy Cook, (Westfield’s Schools) by Dr. Mark Keen, (Youth Assistance) by Judge Steven Nations, (Westfield is a Caring and Serving Community) about Open Doors Food Pantry, Student Impact, Heart and Soul Free Clinic, Baby Box, Lions Club, Kiwanis, and Rotary, and. Eric Lohe writes about Westfield churches, Robert Beauchamp on Restaurant Row, and Sheryl Sollars writes about the history of the Westfield libraries. Steve Henke writes about the development of Grand Park and his two golf clubs in Westfield and Diane Peyton tells the history of the Westfield Historical Society. These are few of the interesting chapters and contributors contained in this historical book.
In order to include the future sponsors for this book we need to find those people, companies, or organizations that would like to make a donation to its cause. I’m happy to say that we now have $13,400 committed. This is about a third of the total cost of this project. Levels of sponsorship to be printed on the front inside of the book are: $10,000 (includes 20 books), $5,000 (10 books), $2,500 (5 books), $1,000 (3 books). Pre-sale: 10 books at $30 each. The book is scheduled to sell for $40 each.
All sales will go to support Westfield organizations and sponsorships will cover the cost for the printing and allow all profit from your sponsorship to contribute to the various Westfield not-for-profits like Westfield Chamber of Commerce Student Scholarship, Westfield Youth Assistance, Open Doors, Heart and Soul, and Student Impact.
We hope to have the book printed in late August, 2023. There are 43 chapters and authors and an estimated 200 – 250 pages. There are over 100 pictures. Your sponsorship is important to pay for this important Westfield book and advertise your company’s name to thousands of people for years to come, but it is more important to capture our history for future generations.
