Town Hall Update

We are getting there, Grant has been submitted. Fingers crossed we receive some grant money to help with our “Saving the Town Hall “ project. Private donations continue to come in and we are SO GRATEFUL for what we have received so far. I love reading all the notes that have been written along with their donations. The Town Hall has created so many memories for so many people.
