Five Dollars

Five dollars multiplied by 300 residents equals $1500, which when added to what has already been collected will provided the funds necessary to help a local fundraiser realize a vision of having picnic Tables on the Common.

Wally Hersee, known for Thinking Out Loud in Sturbridge has undertaken this project in order to provide a place where "young families could gather at a table on a weekend, share a lunch, or just make it a place to anchor [a] groups belongings as they flip a ball back and forth". Considering the beauty of the Common and the lack of seating, it sure sounds like a worthwhile endeavor.

Thus, one might consider a simple approach, which will have little to no impact on one's discretionary income but can have a dramatic impact on the Common in terms of "anchor" spots for visitors. A simple, one-time donation of $5.00 from 300 residents will provide $1500 towards this project, bringing Wally to within a few dollars of his goal.

Please give it some thought, Wally has made supporting this project quite simple and secure through PayPal and one can make a difference by donating even a dollar.
