Checks Presented To Five Civic Organizations
Seated L-R: Board of Selectmen Chair Jeff Jordan, Richard
DeBold and Mike Paveglio. Standing L-R: Dave Rounds representing the
Chichester Photography Group, Ann Davis of the Garden Club, Lucille
Noel representing both Chichester Heritage Commission and Town
Library, and Bernd Reinhardt, Chair of the Chichester Historical
Society.
When the July 20th Historic Chichester Garden Tour was conceived,
most did not have an idea how many tickets would be sold, let alone
how much money would be raised. They just wanted to raise enough
money to get their club started on the right foot. The impetus was
to involve as many local organizations as feasible for a successful
community-wide event. And even though the first biennial Garden
Tour was a success, most simply thought that they would be happy
with any amount; some thinking $25, maybe $50.
At last night’s Board of Selectmen Meeting, everyone was surprised
the checks were for $157.40 each. Chichester Garden Club Chair, Ann
Davis, stood to announce that it was an amazing venture to work
together for a common goal and thanked all for their support. She
proudly presented checks to each of the organization’s
representatives in attendance.
