The Dennison Memorial Community Center in the South End does important work every day, providing a safe haven for young people to play and study after school. Dennison is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. Next month, Dennison will hold its second annual Founders Award Dinner, honoring women in the New Bedford area who have made outstanding contributions to their community. Board member, Lisa Stratton and Danielle Lopez, a Dennison graduate, join Jim Phillips this week to discuss the event and offer information about Dennison and the great things that happen there.

Townsquare Sunday with Jim Phillips can be heard each Sunday at 6 a.m. on WBSM 1420 and WBSM.com. Townsquare Sunday is a weekly public affairs program highlighting non-profits and community organizations in the Greater New Bedford area.
