Biggest Fundraiser Ever!!

The Rocks Village Memorial Association, Inc. held its bi-annual fundraiser sale over two weekends this Fall. Shoppers and volunteers happily followed the CDC guidelines for mask wearing and social distancing to help make this a successful and enjoyable event. The over $9,000 that the RVMA was able to raise came from the sales of donated items as well as monetary donations from supporters of the Hand Tub House. Donated items came from our regular donors but this year a good amount came from people who had spent the quarantine cleaning out their attics, basements, and garages. There are a few items left which are being sold on Facebook Market Place. Please take a look.

The success of the sale is due to a hardworking team of Villagers as well as neighbors and friends of the Hand Tub House. This was one of the best turnouts of volunteers we have had in a long time. 

The money raised will help with several projects to maintain and historically preserve the Hand Tub House. For this upcoming year (2022), we are planning on repairing the front door and improving the side entrance (for which we have also received a Methuen Festival of Trees grant) as well as upgrading the electricity on the second floor.

Thank You!

The Rocks Village Memorial Association, Inc. would like to sincerely thank all of you for your tremendous support of our recent fundraiser sale.  You made it a great success!  The great weather and your cooperation with our COVID precautions made the sale a welcome way to connect again as a community. The donation of items was the best we have ever had.  Purchases and monetary donations helped us raise money to continue improvements to the Hand Tub House, including electrical work and door repairs. 
If you were unable to join us this past weekend, we will be scheduling another sale in October.  There are still some wonderful pieces of furniture available along with, vintage quilts, unique housewares items and lovely glassware.  Check our website at rocksvillage.org for details of the October sale.
