Historical Tidbit: The North School

In 1922 on March 25th, the town meeting voted to appropriate a sum of money to build a school in North Raynham. Finally in 1925, the town voted $30,000 for the North School. It was built on Baker Road and occupancy took place about 1927.

Raynham Cultural Council Seeks Funding Proposals
The Raynham Cultural Council has an October 15, 2019 deadline for organizations, schools, and individuals to apply for grants that support cultural arts, humanities and science activities in the community. 

According to Council spokesperson Stacey Chisholm, these grants can support a variety of artistic projects and activities in Raynham-- including exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies, or performances in schools, workshops, and lectures. 

The Raynham Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. The LCC Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation, supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, sciences and humanities every year. The state legislature provides an annual appropriation to the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, which then allocates funds to each community. 

This year, the Raynham Cultural Council will distribute over $5,300 in grants. Previously funded projects include: Raynham Reads, Stone Church Concert Series, RMS Art Show and Robotics Club, The Attleboro Art Museum, and Fun with STEM.

For local guidelines and complete information on the Raynham Cultural Council, contact Stacey Chisholm at  raynhamculture@gmail.com . Application forms and more information about the Local Cultural Council Program are available online at  massculturalcouncil.org/local-cultural-council-program .

The GFWC Taunton and Raynham Jr. Woman's Club 3rd Annual Fashion Show
The GFWC Taunton and Raynham Jr. Woman's Club had no summer siesta this year as they recently completed their 3rd Annual Fashion Show and Luncheon to raise funds for student scholarships. The event took place at the American Legion Hall in Raynham with fashions presented by The Little Black Dress Co., out of Connecticut. The members served a luncheon prepared by DeAvilas Catering and also offered their ever popular basket raffle which added to another successful endeavor.
Club members modeled the fashions presented by owners Yvonne and Michael Turgeon of The Little Black Dress Co.
Funds raised will be used for student scholarships in the spring. Club members are also collecting donations for the Turning Point Suffragette Memorial to be built in Virginia in 2020, to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. www.facebook.com/GFWCTauntonandRaynhamJuniors
