Manchaug Pond Foundation Holds Spring Social; Draws BIG Raffle Fundraiser Winners

2015 Spring Social

More than 60 attend this year’s Social at the YMCA Camp Blanchard facility on the shores of Manchaug Pond.

Karen Bronson of the Fundraising Committee reports:

The 2015 Spring Social held at the YMCA, was attended by members and friends of Manchaug Pond Foundation who brought their appetite, good conversation, and the hope of winning the BIG Raffle. Most left with a fully belly, new friends and empty wallets – all for a good cause – Manchaug Pond.
