The Richards Family Needs Your Help! Fire destroyed their home in Spencer, MA

We’ve received some devastating news this afternoon from the Richards family that their house on Maple Street here in Spencer (Rt 31 South) was destroyed by an electrical fire on November 2, 2010.  Everything, including their two pets, was lost. View the Telegram & Gazette News Article

We are reaching out to the families here and within the community to request donations to help them. They will be living in a hotel for several months until their home is rebuilt.  Lori, from MJA Martial Arts, will be accepting whatever you are willing to offer - gift cards for food, clothes, gas, season-appropriate clothes, jackets, shoes, etc, toiletries, cards of sympathy or support - anything you feel may help.

You can drop off  the items at the Dojo and we will take care of the rest. Thank you for considering helping however you can.  If you have any questions, please contact Lori at 508-885-9100.

Auburn, MA - St. Jude Children's Hospital Fundraiser

I want to send a big THANK YOU to all who helped and participated in the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital fundraiser at the Auburn Mall. We surpassed our goal. You all helped us raise $3,443.70!!! Our goal was $3000.00. That is almost three times what we raised last year. I was so impressed with all the families who helped us make that day special. Everyone who attended had great things to say about it. I would not have enough room to list everyone who helped make this event successful. Please know you are all appreciated for your contribution. I’m very blessed! Everyone represented MJAMA exceedingly well!

Thank You!
