I'LL HAVE A "WELL DONE" TOWN MANAGER, PLEASE: The Stoughton Chamber of Commerce is doing an interesting fundraiser: A ROAST OF TOWN MANAGER FRANK CRIMMINS. In what is sure to be a sellout, the event takes place on May 6, 2011 at the Portuguese National Club, at Wyman and Railroad Ave. The festivities start at 7 p.m. sharp. There will be a panel of roasters who will certainly be "very busy!"
The cost is $25 per ticket, or $225 for Table of 10. Limited Seating! Reservations can be made at www.stoughtonma.com. The price includes entertaining "Roasting" of Town Manager & Former Stoughton District Court Judge Francis Crimmins, Jr., as well as Coffee and Dessert.
The event is hosted by Snyder's Stoughton/About Town's Mark Snyder, and Chaired by Cindy Pazyra, a Board member of the Stoughton Chamber. A portion of the proceeds will go the The Memory Room, a charity formed by Beth McNeill, Francie Minder, and Pam Abrams-Warnick, to help nurture families after the loss of a child.
