The Bedford Village Chowder & Marching Club
"Supporting Bedford Youth Programs Since 1956"
|
|
About C&M The Bedford Village Chowder & Marching Club was founded in 1956 with the mission to raise funds for local youth programs in the Village of Bedford. The Club raises these funds through two annual events, Clean-up Weekend and the Fall Dinner Dance. The Club's fund-raising efforts help provide support for arts programs, club and school sports, scouts, athletics, youth outreach, scholarship and community service. Our mission is to raise funds through community events and to donate all such funds to worthwhile youth-based activities for the children of the Village of Bedford. Particularly to those activities concerned with the educational, moral, mental, physical and civic betterment of the youth of our community. It is thought that Chowder & Marching Societies were originally organized
during pre-Revolutionary times where groups of concerned citizens gathered
together over chowder to discuss current affairs and then march into Town to air
their grievances. Today, The Bedford Village C&M Club meets monthly to review
requests for funds, plan fund-raisers and discuss issues relevant to its
charter. |
