   The PTSC is sponsoring a spring/summer clothing and more drive again. It is early, but we wanted to get the word out early to save your clothing, linens, coats, towels, stuffed animals and shoes for our drive to be held late May. Put items in large trash bags and we will have a week for drop off. Look for more info to follow. All proceeds go towards our scholarship fund. The Memorial Day Committee which in the past was a part of the Historical Society is now the Mansfield Veteran’s Association. The Association is responsible for presenting the Memorial Day Service in May and helping to maintain the small section of the park which contains the Veteran’s Memorial Gazebo. This includes planting flowers, watering the flowers, painting the bell stand, and setting up for the Service in May. The Association could use some new members to help with this years’ program. Someone is needed to design the program for the Memorial Day Service. We need people to help set up, give out American flags, etc. This service will take place on Sunday, May 17. Anyone interested in joining or just helping out for the day should please contact Laverne Cholewa at 609-298-5756.
