2024 Opening Day Highlights ~ June 29
Sandwich Cane Recipient
Virginia "Ginger" Heard
Ginger shared the following message, an excerpt from an article in the New York Times, with the large crowd that had come out to honor her as the recipient of the Sandwich Cane ~ "... Age is a gift, a chance to keep growing, learning and experiencing life in new ways. It's about defying limitations and embracing the possibilities that lie ahead. So, for anyone else pondering the future, remember - it's not about positively accepting age, it's about actively living each day to the fullest, wrinkles and all."
Posted on the SandwichBoard: "I am deeply honored to receive the Boston Post Cane from the Sandwich Historical Society for being the oldest resident in Sandwich. My heartfelt thanks to the Sandwich community for their love and support, and for the incredible honor of designating June 29th as Ginger Heard Day. It was a wonderful surprise to be honored with Ginger Heard Day by the Selectmen.
A special thank you to Geoff Burrows and Jim Mykland for their unwavering support and for facilitating this award in such a memorable and touching way. Your dedication and kindness mean the world to me. This recognition will always hold a special place in my heart."
With gratitude,
Ginger
