Our Association and Community Center
The Rice’s Mills Community Association (RMCA) is a neighborhood organization that runs and cares for the Rice's Mills Community Center (RMCC), a former one-room schoolhouse was built in 1931 and was turned over to the community in 1962, when the Town’s elementary school opened. RMCC is a valuable gathering place in the Thetford village of Rice's Mills, open to all and is on the State of Vermont Historical Register.
RMCA hosts monthly community potluck dinners, and is available to the public for birthday & holiday parties, classes, workshops, yard sales and other events. It has also been used for art exhibits, kid’s art camp, film viewings, open-mic nights, jam sessions and dances. Several families use the RMCC’s spacious greenhouse to start their vegetable & flower seedlings in the spring.
2024 monthly Potlucks
Our monthly potlucks take place on the 3rd Sunday of each month. Typically, doors open at 5pm to set up for the potluck and for games inside (darts and ring swing) and out (weather depending - badminton or volleyball, bean bag toss and horseshoes).
The potlucks begin at 6pm - please bring a dish to share (if possible, include a note describing the dish and what’s in it for folks who have food restrictions), as well as your own beverage, plate, bowl, cup and utensils - we will have water to drink.
Following the potluck starting about 7pm, we usually have a featured event such as slide presentations, story telling or game night.
