On Thursday, February 9, at 6 pm, at M & M’s Tap & Tavern, there will be a Barn Raising for the 21st Century and silent auction to benefit the Lebanon Valley Protective Association (LVPA). The LVPA has been trying to build a new centrally located firehouse to improve response times from one end of Town to the other. They have received a $250,000 donation from an anonymous donor from New Lebanon, but the community has to come up with $250,000 in matching donations to receive it.
So far for the silent auction local businesses have donated self storage units, commercial fleet power washing services, a 20 yard dumpster, massages, custom made jewelry, dinners at local restaurants, and much more. The Brown and McArdle Real Estate Team from Berkshire Hathaway Blake are sponsoring the event, as well as giving out a door prize and pizza the night of the event.
Personal monetary donations are greatly appreciated and can be made payable to LVPA.
