Annual Benefit Art Auction & Dinner
Come see the Forsythias in bloom
at the Common Man Inn, Plymouth
Saturday March 20th, 5:30 pm
We recently held a Dance Performance for over 550 school children at no cost, we collectively worked towards bringing an emerging Arts Venue to Main Street Plymouth, the Art Cellar, which will become a destination for speakers, performers, artists, and will also become an evening destination (Coffee House) very soon. We have partnered with several organizations and have received federal and state grants, and we have a wonderful Board of Trustees.
In order for us to keep up our good work we rely on caring, generous individuals and businesses in our community for support. Through our annual auction you can help us make our auction a success in one (or more) of several ways.
