HERB HURLBURT BENEFIT AUCTION
SATURDAY, MAY 23RD 2015 • 10:30AM PREVIEW • FALL MOUNTAIN REG. HIGH SCHOOL
On Saturday, May 23rd we will be hosting a Benefit Auction and Fundraiser for Herb and Gretchen Hurlburt. As you may know, Herb was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), a progressive neurological disease that affects the central nervous system.
Herb, a military veteran, has always been an active member of our local community, serving with the Walpole Fire Department for over 40 years. Herb has dedicated countless hours to various volunteer efforts-Habitat for Humanity projects, charity events and organizations, and served on the SWNH Fire Mutual Aid Board. He has always looked for ways to better our community and support his neighbors.
As you may imagine, the Hurlburts are facing considerable expenses and challenges related to Herb’s ALS. In order to help alleviate some of the expenses and show our appreciation for his many years of service to our community, we are hosting a benefit auction/event on May 23rd.
Would you consider contributing to this event?

Come enjoy a fun day and bid on some great items to support your neighbor!
