To the Editor:
On behalf of the missions committee of the Mattapoisett Congregational Church, I wish to thank all those who made our fundraising concert last Saturday, March 28, such a success. Thanks to the almost 100 folks who attended to enjoy an evening of terrific music, we raised just over $1400 for the New Bedford Baby Project, plus more than 50 packages of diapers and wipes! We also want to recognize Target, Fairhaven Stop & Shop, Fairhaven Rite Aid and Fairhaven CVS who generously donated diapers or gift cards.
Special thanks to the musicians who donated their time and talent: Paul Amenta, David Dunn, Beth Grosart, Chris Little and Joe Zajac and a special shout out to David Dunn who provided the sound equipment. Also thanks to the Mattmen group who set up chairs, Drew and Lynne Nahigyan who donated the gift baskets, and to Betty Parker, Elliot Talley and the members of the missions committee – Tara Rajaniemi, Dennis Desroches, David Anderson, Gary Grosart and Drew and Lynne Nahigyan – for manning the concert.
For the committee, Susan Grosart
