Help Make Mendham Rock!
Did you know Mendham was officially incorporated in 1749? Think about it, neighbors growing together and supporting each other for 275 years. That rocks! As part of the year’s celebration, Mendham Arts Council member Ginny Pados Beutnagel invites you to join her in painting rocks with positive sayings, designs, or funny messages to share or keep. The goal for this towns-wide project is to create 275 stones by the 4th of July!
Adults are invited to join Ginny on Thursday, May 23rd at the Mendham Township Library at 7pm. Let’s add some music and snacks and a donation box to help boost the Mendham Township Library!
Keep the painted rocks or leave them at the “Take a rock, Leave a rock” basket located at the Borough gazebo. We want everyone to have a hand in celebrating being a community. Tag creations with: #mendhamrockart.
