PHOTO: Celebrating memorable coaches

OVER 200 PEOPLE enjoyed music, dancing, raffles and appetizers at the Valade-Buckley Dedication Night last Friday at the Hillview. The event was a fundraiser to purchase a memorial park bench for Ipswich River Park in memory of two beloved youth coaches, Jay Valade and Paul Buckley. It was organized by a group of moms whose kids were coached by them in hockey and other sports.
