Manchaug Pond Foundation

That was a great fundraiser!

A huge thank you to all those who love Manchaug Pond and are supporting our efforts! The results of MPA Fundraising Committee’s Rockin’ Spring Fling have been reported to the Board of Directors… with feedback from attendees, the band, the Dudley-Gendron and considering the number$$ in funds raised for the foundation, it has been unanimously declared a huge success and placed on the event calendar for next year! Talking number$ for those of you who like the details…. It looks like somewhere in the neighborhood of $4,149. was raised. $225 paid out to the winner of the 50/50 raffle and $100 in expenses for the band…. leaving us with a grand total of $3,824. deposited in our fund to preserve Manchaug Pond. Special thanks to the band, our event coordinator and the Fundraising Committee for a fun evening and successful event!

The Evening’s Sunset

We haven’t had time to post an update on the success of our recent efforts: the Rockin’Spring Fling fundraiser, the launch of the next one – the BIG Boat Raffle/$10,000 Giveaway, the 319 stormwater grant’s completion and the next grant applications, meetings and conversations to enhance and preserve our natural resources, etc … … but we are working hard, making great progress and love this lake noted for beautiful sunrises, tremendously fun days and classic sunsets! Enjoy! and thank you to each and everyone of you who has sent their tax deductible dues and donations, bought a ticket or two, donated a raffle item or given us a pat on the back for our perseverance and dedication in working for Manchaug Pond.
