Buy A Bulb Fundraiser

The Manchester Women’s Club has kicked off its annual “Buy A Bulb” fundraiser to benefit the community.  The Club is responsible for the lighting of the Manchester Friendship Tree each December.  Donations go to keeping the tradition bright throughout the holiday season.  Envelopes are distributed around town, and donations may be mailed in as well.  Sponsor one bulb for $5, or five bulbs for $20 to remember a loved one or friend.  The Cricket will publish a weekly list of bulb memorials.
