The Walpole Mini Open fundraiser on Sunday, February 14th was a huge success! Just under $2,000 was raised which will go directly to the new library's building fund.Over 300 people came through the doors in 4 hours to support the new library. Kids, parents, and grandparents were all smiles and laughter for the exciting day of playing mini golf in the winter and IN the library! Players had to maneuver around the challenging course which included monster jam trucks, Peter Rabbit, robotic gates, a twisty cliff, a flashing disco ball, Legos, and even a cow!Special thanks are offered to our Community Partners - Funway USA, Sunlight Publications, Roche Brothers and many others who donated raffle items. A big thanks to all of the volunteers for dedicating time before and during the event to make it run smoothly, with special mention to Jerry Keohane for his end-to-end set up and clean up support. Thanks are also extended to Superintendent Lincoln Lynch for enabling us to include participation from each of the Walpole Public Schools and Interim Blessed Sacrament Principal, Nancy Carroll for BSS participation.
