Rehoboth Garden Club Thank You

The Rehoboth Garden Club would like to thank all our customers and supporters who made our Plant Sale Fundraiser at Francis Farm an overwhelming success.

To the Rehoboth Board of Selectmen, especially Selectman George Solas, sincere thanks for all your efforts to arrange the use of Francis Farm for our sale.

Special appreciation to Souza Family Farm in Rehoboth and Frerichs Farm in Warren for their generous patronage, and Kim Fagundes for the use of her sign.

To our neighbors Mary & William Hollinshead, June Hawksley, Lisa Reigal, Gale Cardoza and some anonymous folks, many thanks for donating your lovingly grown plants to our sale.

Finally, we are thrilled to announce that the success of our fundraiser has enabled us to increase our 2022 Scholarship award from $2,000 to $2,500! Scholarship applications and details will be available at local high schools and on social media soon. Linda McHugh Rehoboth Garden Club, Plant Sale Chair

The old schoolhouse will be open to the public every 2nd and 4th Sunday from June to September. The Hornbine School Museum is located in the south east corner of Rehoboth at the corner of Baker and Hornbine Roads. This season, we are celebrating Frances Magan’s 100th birthday. She has lived in the Hornbine Neighborhood most of her life. She and several of her relatives attended the Hornbine School. Her mother was the custodian at the school. And several of her grandchildren and great grandchildren have visited the school with their classes over the years. In recent years, Frances Magan Jones has shared her experiences at the school, and in the Hornbine Neighborhood, with visiting classes and Open House guests.

To watch a You Tube video interview with Frances, go to You Tube and type in “Remembering Rehoboth Schools - Beverly Pettine Interviews Francis Jones”
