Community Continues to Support Searles Renovations

As renovations continue to be needed at the Searles School and Chapel, a select group of Windham residents has found creative and innovative ways to raise money to fulfill the aforementioned needs.

Last Saturday, in fact, a benefit raised $400 through a bingo cage game at the Windham Harvest Fest, according to the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, which reported that roughly $23,000 has been raised for the project since last spring.

Former Windham selectman Margaret Case and her husband, Tom, continue to lead the effort, which began after voters rejected a $100,000 warrant article that would have funded the renovation project.

In 2012, Windham Selectmen approved painting and exterior renovations to the school and chapel to be funded through the Property Maintenance Expendable Trust Fund.
