CHVProm...The Hottest Ticket in Town!

Did you manage to secure a table for this year's CHVProm? Tickets went on sale on April 2, and tables have already sold out. This is a first!  "Mingling room" tickets are now available -- they will not have table seating, but you'll still be at the very best party in town! 


All ticket requests from this point forward should be directed to Glen Barton. Please do not go to Town Hall and leave a check as Town Hall does not have any more tickets, will not be receiving any more tickets, and is not maintaining the ticket list.


Thanks to everyone for the unprecedented response! We can't wait to get on the dance floor on May 11!

Another Take on "What does 'Made in Cheverly' mean to you?"

We're still asking...what does "Made in Cheverly" mean to you? We make art, food, community groups, families...the idea of "Made in Cheverly" is pretty broad and the conversation can move in many directions. 


Today, Father Kevin Kennedy of St. Ambrose Catholic Church shares his thoughts:


"Made in Cheverly – To me it means creating and being a community where we live by virtues such as honesty, integrity and the common good."


Thanks for your thoughts, Father Kennedy. Community is definitely something made special in Cheverly.

We asked "What does 'Made in Cheverly' mean to you?"

We've put the question to you...what does "Made in Cheverly" mean to you? It's an interesting conversation: We make art, food, community groups, families... Councilmember Carolyn Cook shares her thoughts here:

I am made in Cheverly, at least the most meaningful part of me is. I planted roots here in 1999 when my husband James and I bought our first home. A month later our oldest son was born and I started to grow into someone more. The new journey of motherhood, along with the nurturing of family and friends, helped me to blossom. Thirteen years later, I feel settled in my community with my husband, my two sons, and a continuous flow of support from our neighbors in town. For me, the most important phase of my life was made in Cheverly -- becoming a mom.

Thanks for sharing, Carolyn. We love this story!
