by Sylene Argent The Essex RetireesÕ Social Club hosted another large fundraising event on Saturday afternoon. This event was open to the community and included a large yard sale and barbeque. Betty Lou Frith, Essex RetireesÕ Social ClubÕ s
Executive Director, said the event was well attended. The barbeque was a hit and attracted many people to the center for lunch. This event also provided community residents an opportunity to purchase homemade baked goods and jams.
Leading up the event, Club members were busy cleaning out their garages and closets to find unique treasures and rare items to donate to the yard sale. A big part of the fundraiser was the raffling off of a lawnmower. The Club sold tickets for this and the lucky
winner was Gail Boulay. Events like these not only help the Essex RetireesÕ Social Club to raise funds so it can continue to offer programs and services to its membership, it also helps its members raise awareness about the club throughout the community.
