WESTWOOD LITTLE LEAGUE IS EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT LUMINARY ARTIST AND WESTWOOD RESIDENT THOMAS R. DUNLAY WILL CREATE AN ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING OF THE NEW MORRISON PARK!

Mr. Aaron will donate the original painting to the Town to be put on permanent display at the new library. Visit www.thomasrdunlay.com for additional information about Thomas R. Dunlay.
WLL to Obtain Print Proceeds
Together, Mr. Dunlay and Mr. Aaron have generously agreed to donate the reproduction rights to the painting to WLL. This donation will allow WLL to sell signed, limited edition prints with WLL retaining one hundred percent of the proceeds. The print is certain to become an iconic image of Westwood’s new town landmark. Ordering details will be made available this spring. WLL is thankful for the creativity and generosity of Mr. Dunlay and Mr. Aaron and looks forward to launching print sales soon!
Very Special Limited Pre-Production Opportunity

Winning bidders will receive an exclusive signed edition of the print with the names of the nine youths reflected (the names will be contained solely on the prints distributed to these high bidders; names will be removed from prints sold generally). This is a unique opportunity to support the Revitalized Morrison Project and the resulting work is sure to become a lifelong treasure. Don’t be outbid!

The Morrison Park Revitalization Project
Detailed information about the Morrison Park Revitalization Project is available on westwoodlittleleague.com. Please “like” WLL on Facebook to keep track of the Project’s progress and other league news. WLL is excited to be on the verge of providing the current and future generations of Westwood children a state of art regulation field. For years, Morrison has served as home of Westwood baseball. The non-regulation field that previously existed prevented Westwood from hosting tournament and playoff games. With the field now constructed to regulation dimensions, Westwood is eligible to host tournament and playoff games. In fact, the field finished second in voting to host the 2014 State Championship and is extremely well positioned to earn the honor in 2015.
