Chamber Calendar of Events
Space Needed!
Merrick, Inc., has it’s Halloween Gala coming up on 10/28 and a big element of the evening is a silent auction that typically has over 150 items. Each of these items is assembled by our volunteer team of basket makers and the process requires substantial space that we do not have in our building. Ideally we are looking for at least 1,000 sqf of space with good lighting and ventilation, restrooms, and access to volunteers on evenings and weekends. Availability of a loading dock would be a plus.Click HERE to contact Merrick if you can help!
