SAXTONS RIVER — On Saturday, Nov. 25, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., in Assembly Hall at the 24 Main Street Community Center, nonprofit organizations associated with the greater Rockingham area will be gathering to showcase their activities and provide the opportunity to turn individuals' generosity into meaningful holiday gift-giving.
The public is invited to attend the Generosity Fair to learn more about charitable work done near and far by those living in our area. The Fair has been organized by the 24 Main Street Community Building and Anne Manner-McLarty, a nonprofit consultant who now lives in Saxtons River.
"Please join us and consider making donations in the name of your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers," organizers said in a news release. "For each donation made, attendees will receive a gift card provided by the nonprofit organizations, and an ornament will be placed on the holiday tree inside the Community Building. Some organizations will have other items for sale and benefits for different levels of giving."
Light snacks and general holiday cheer will be shared with all. Patrons are reminded to bring a checkbook or cash, as not all organizations accept credit cards in-person or through online giving.
A Generosi-Tea service will be offered before the fair. Visit mainstreetarts.org/come-for-tea.html to learn more and to register. For additional information about the Fair, contact Manner-McLarty at [email protected].
