Look for the application in your mailbox or h ere is a link to download the application.

In July, a new law was passed to allow all registered voters in Massachusetts to vote by mail in any 2020 election, with no excuse needed.

As required by the new law, a Vote by Mail application will be mailed to every person who was registered to vote by July 1 and who had not already requested an absentee ballot for the State Primary or for all elections this year. A second mailing will be sent out in September to all voters who have not already applied for a Vote by Mail ballot for the November election. The applications are pre-addressed to your local election official and no postage is necessary.

Vote by Mail applications must be delivered to your local election office no later than 4 business days before the election. For a State Primary ballot, your application must reach your local election office no later than August 26. For a State Election ballot, your application must reach your local election office no later than October 28.

If you wish to vote by mail, you are strongly encouraged to return your application as early as possible, to make sure that you will receive your ballot in time to return it and have it be counted.

Vote by Mail applications are available for  download  and may also be requested by  contacting the Elections Division .

O ne of the Oldest Houses in Raynham

On Oak St, opposite Carver St. sits one of the oldest houses in Raynham. It has been modernized over the years, but is estimated to be from the 1750's. It most likely had dual chimneys. Here we are in 2020 and it still sits proud!

FULLER CRAFT MUSEUM PRESENTS

Shelter, Place, Social, Distance

Contemporary Dialogues from the Permanent Collection

“The long path from material through purpose to creative work has only a single goal: To create order out of the godforsaken confusion of our time.” —Mies van der Rohe,  Not at Home , 1938

 

Since the initial outbreak in Wuhan, China, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption around the world, from economic uncertainty to national public health emergencies to mandated quarantines. As the global community struggled to make sense of it all, an explosion of new words and phrases emerged. This pervasive terminology—shelter in place, social distancing, flatten the curve, PPE, and more—offered a practical shorthand with which to frame the rapidly changing world and united us through shared cultural touch points.

 

While many terms are inextricably associated with the pandemic, certain words, when decontextualized, represent recurring themes in contemporary craft. In this regard,  Shelter, Place, Social, Distance: Contemporary Dialogues from the Permanent Collection  adopts the COVID-19 lexicon as a conceptual springboard for exploring how the universal subjects of home, place, community, and distance are represented in Fuller Craft Museum’s permanent collection. 

 

Fuller Craft Museum is honored to present these extraordinary objects as we welcome visitors back to our galleries following the COVID-19-related museum shutdown. Like all great works of art, the forms invigorate our understanding of the times in which we live.

Successful Lemonade Stand!

Sam, age 6, and Ben, age 4, have become very successful little businessmen with their lemonade stand! They've held several lemonade stands this summer in their Raynham neighborhood featuring their made from scratch lemonade with a special ingredient; honey from their very own bees! The boys even helped their dad build and paint the lemonade stand!

Each cup is one dollar and they have several other items for sale at the lemonade stand such as cookies, chips, lollipops, Arnold Palmer, etc. They are getting ready to put out some of their honey soon, too!

Sam and Ben are learning about money with their lemonade stand. Their parents are instilling the importance of hard work, saving, giving and a little bit of spending. The boys have been able to save up for some new toys with their hard earned money.
