VOLUNTEER SOCIAL
About 30 or so volunteers and several officials of the Town of Blackstone responded to the invitation and took the time to Hop on down to Joe & Alice Allman's lilly pad for a casual evening of fun and fellowship on May 22nd. In case you missed out on the festivities, and are curious as to what went on, I have a photo gallery of the occasion linked to the picture that you see to the left. Just click on the picture and it will take you to a photo gallery. Despite some inclimate weather most attendees were troopers and stayed around as we moved the party from the lawn to inside.
If you missed this get together, we hope that you will be able to make the next one.
