    Many, many thanks to the Rahway Knights of Columbu Many, many thanks to the Rahway Knights of Columbus Council 1146 for their generous donation to the Merchants and Drovers, and for all their hard work at the Pasta Dinner that raised these funds!  The VERY successful dinner raised $1800 for our museum. And thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the tasty pasta dishes and support the cause.  And thank you @mayor_giacobbe for coming out for the presentation of the check to the board of the MDTMA. #fundraising #rahwaynj
