We are honoring the memory of our supporter, landlord, and friend Andy Molloy. Andy had a big personality, and an even bigger heart. When Spindleworks Gardiner had to close during covid, Andy made sure the program found a home, and provided temporary space until we could move in. Always ready with a story, a solution to a problem, perspective into local history, and fierce support, Andy was one of our great champions; we will miss him.
