Legislators announce $2.1M in funding for area projects

<p>PLAINS TWP. &#8212; A local nonprofit centered around therapeutic horseback riding has a fundraiser scheduled this month after being forced out of its former home after the property they rented was suddenly sold.</p><p>Serendipity TRC, located in Harveys Lake, is a nonprofit which uses therapeutic horseback riding for adults and children with special needs.</p><p>According to a news release from the organization, therapeutic horseback riding helps people with difficulty walking experience the sensory input of walking, along with the emotional benefits of bonding with a horse.</p><p>Serendipity will be holding &#8220;Ride On,&#8221; a benefit concert that will be held on Nov. 24 at the River Street Jazz Caf&#233; in Plains Township. The concert will run from 4 to 11 p.m., featuring four live bands, food, raffle baskets, a silent auction and more.</p><p>Tickets will be $10. Serendipity is looking for donations for the the event. If you&#8217;re interested in donating, find their page on Facebook for more information.</p><p>Serendipity has 34 weekly participants and 10 horses, but all of that came into question in September, when the group says it was suddenly evicted from the property it was renting.</p><p>&#8220;On Sept. 19, 2019, Serendipity received notice that their property they have been renting is being sold in addition to an eviction notice and began a frantic search for a new location to house both the therapy program, horses and volunteers,&#8221; the release reads. &#8220;All while continuing to provide lessons.&#8221;</p><p>The group has until Dec. 1 to move out. While they say they have a new location picked out, they say it needs a lot of work, and they need help to get it done.</p><p>&#8220;The new location will require some adaptations, including a septic system and mobile home in order for our Serendipity to safely relocate, adaptations to the stalls, bedding and more,&#8221; the release reads.</p><style>
