Historical Tidbit: The First Raynham Meetinghouse
|
The first meetinghouse, begun two years prior to the town's incorporation in 1731, was a very simple building without blinds, a steeple or a bell.
( It would have looked
similar to the one pictured)
In 1773, the first meetinghouse was replaced by a simple structure, also without a steeple. The second meeting house was built by a local carpenter, Israel Washburn.
Although a schoolmaster was first paid in Raynham in 1742, no schools are known to have been built at that time.

Monti Tournament
2019 13th Annual SFC Jared C. Monti Memorial, Date to be announced
8U Baseball Tournament
Raynham Youth Baseball and Softball Association is happy to invite you to participate in our 13th Annual SFC Jared C. Monti Memorial Baseball Tournament to be held for the 8U age group from TBD.
Jared, a Raynham resident, was killed in action in the mountains of Afghanistan in June 2006 while attempting to rescue a wounded comrade that had become separated from the unit. Jared was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, only the 6th person from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to receive the award.
As in years past, this year’s tournament will be about more than just a few baseball games:
- • Parade of teams marching in along with a dedication to a soldier of their choice / from their community.
- • Skills tournament (homerun derby and other fun skills challenges)
- • Game balls awarded at the end of each game.
- • Awesome trophies for every player of the winner and runner up
- • Action photos taken of every player on every team and available throughout the tournament.
- • Convenient game scheduling with every team playing at least 3 games.
$475.00 entry fee per team ($50.00 donated to the Jared Monti Scholarship Fund) Entry fee includes all game balls, umpires, awards, events, etc.

Judging our own actions and loving yourself
:
"You cannot depend on your judgment when your imagination is out of focus."
~ Mark Twain
"Make no judgements where you have no compassion." ~ Anne Mccaffrey
"Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment." ~ Jim Horning
"Turn down the volume of your negative inner voice and create a nurturing inner voice to take its place. When you make a mistake, forgive yourself, learn from it, and move on instead of obsessing about it. Equally important, don’t allow anyone else to dwell on your mistakes or shortcomings or to expect perfection from you.” ~ Beverly Eng

Find your perfect life ... only you can make it happen. Jacquie
