Jackie Caserta, innkeeper at Inn at Valley Farms, asked if I would pass along the following on behalf of the Walpole Village School. Ed.
"A heartfelt thank you goes out to the local community for coming out in support of the 3rd Annual Walpole Village School Plant/Bake/Garden Craft Sale. This year's sale--held last week--raised nearly $4,000!"
"This is an important step toward reaching the school's fund-raising goal of $75,000. The not-profit preschool needs to raise these funds in order to purchsase and renovate the former Long River Gardens property in Walpole. This versatile space will serve not only as a new home for the school but also as an important community resource. The school plans to expand its offerings to include after school enrichment programs for children up to age 12, summer camps, and before and after school care. The school anticipates being up and running in its new space this fall. Openings are still available for the coming school year.
"The Walpole Village School's next fund-raising event is a benefit auction to be held on June 10 at 6:30 p.m. at the Long River Garden building on Wetminster Street in Walpole. The event is open to the public. Tickets are $15 each or two for $25. Hors d'oevres will be served and a cash bar will be available. A wide variety of great items and services have been donated promising an interesting evening. Join us this Saturday evening for a great event! For more information or to donate items for the auction, please call 603-756-4246." Jackie Caserta
