The Rocks Village Memorial Association, Inc. held its bi-annual fundraiser sale over two weekends this Fall. Shoppers and volunteers happily followed the CDC guidelines for mask wearing and social distancing to help make this a successful and enjoyable event. The over $9,000 that the RVMA was able to raise came from the sales of donated items as well as monetary donations from supporters of the Hand Tub House. Donated items came from our regular donors but this year a good amount came from people who had spent the quarantine cleaning out their attics, basements, and garages. There are a few items left which are being sold on Facebook Market Place. Please take a look.
The success of the sale is due to a hardworking team of Villagers as well as neighbors and friends of the Hand Tub House. This was one of the best turnouts of volunteers we have had in a long time.
The money raised will help with several projects to maintain and historically preserve the Hand Tub House. For this upcoming year (2022), we are planning on repairing the front door and improving the side entrance (for which we have also received a Methuen Festival of Trees grant) as well as upgrading the electricity on the second floor.
