Aubuchon Hardware Round-up Leads to $4,400 Gift to Athenaeum

Thanks to Aubuchon Hardware customers’ generosity, along with that of the Aubuchon Hardware Foundation, the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum was presented with a check for $4,429.12 for the Athenaeum’s Annual Fund.

St. Johnsbury Aubuchon Hardware Manager Michele Burrington presented the check to Athenaeum Board of Trustee’s Vice President Bill Merrow on Wednesday, July 17 in front of the Athenaeum’s “Domes of the Yosemite” in the Art Gallery. Michele highlighted the generosity of the community when she presented the check. “One gentleman, when I asked him to round up for the Athenaeum, not only rounded up, but he dug in his pocket and gave me an additional $5 bill!”

The Athenaeum extends its gratitude to the St. Johnsbury community, and to Aubuchon Hardware Foundation for matching the funds raised in the Round-up.
