David Maenzo of Douglas, is honoring his late wife, Nancy, by supporting the Douglas Common Preservation Society, Inc. with a very generous donation of 150 “1,000,000 Bonus Wins” Scratch Tickets for them to use in conjunction with their Fall Donation Drive.  

The Society’s Board Members were very surprised and grateful when David called and offered the tickets. 

“With a retail value of $750, I thought the tickets would make a very desirable prize for the Fall Donation Drive Thank You Drawing – just think how much the winner might win after scratching all those tickets!”  Maenzo said.

Since the Society relies on donations received from the Fall Donation Drive to help with the expenses of putting on the popular Holiday Lighting Celebration, they agreed that David’s scratch ticket prize would be very helpful and add a little incentive for people to participate in the Fall Donation Drive by making a donation to the 501(c)(3) organization. 

“We provide free entries into the drawing to everyone making a donation - 15 entries for each $25 donated!  And the donations are also tax deductible,” said Lynn Paresky of the Society. “David’s only request was that we hold the drawing on October 22.”

Maenzo is no stranger when it comes to doing good for the community.  It’s something he has been doing to perpetuate his late wife’s memory ever since she passed in 2018.

 “Nancy would have wanted to support the Douglas Common Preservation Society’s mission of beautifying and maintaining our Town Common, and she especially would have enjoyed the joy and sense of community that the Holiday Lighting Celebration fosters,” explained Maenzo.  “So I am honoring her memory by making this donation.”

Donations may be made by check payable to the Douglas Common Preservation Society, Inc., 76 NW Main St., Douglas, MA 01516 or via Venmo @Kathleen-Sugrue-Richards – more information is available on the Douglas Common Preservation Society, Inc. Facebook page.
