Pond Day at the Flat Penny

Many thanks to everyone who showed their support for Fyfeshire Ponds by dining at the Flat  Penny in Berlin on Feb. 20th.  Business was brisk all day and everyone had a great meal with friends and family as they contributed toward solving the dam problem (pun intended!) at Fyfeshire Conservation Area in Bolton. To view the latest proposal, read our posting New alternative would keep the Fyfeshire Ponds intact

Congratulations to Bill Beauchaine who won the 50-50 raffle.  Bill graciously donated a large chunk of the winnings back to the cause.Thank you, Bill!

Many thanks to everyone at the Flat Penny for hosting the event and helping us to raise some money toward conserving Fyfeshire Ponds!
