Photographic Exhibit By Thomie Dombrowski At GYRL

 

Join us at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library on Saturday October 8th as we welcome a photographic exhibit by Thomie Dombrowski from 1-3 pm. There will be light refreshments served.

 

Thomie R. Dombrowski grew up summers at his grandparent’s home, in Lower Gilmanton. Thomie’s love of Gilmanton continued to grow even after the sale of his grandparent’s home. Now much to Thomie’s delight, he is a permanent resident of Lower Gilmanton.

 

Thomie did not start shooting photos until later in life, but it quickly became his passion. His primary focus is on nature, flowers in particular. For this showing, he has decided to show some of the everyday things that anyone can find in Gilmanton. Some of them are in plain sight while others you need to search out.

 

Thomie’s comment in regards to this collection is, "Folks will look at these photos and say this is nothing special, I can do that". To which he replies, "You are right!! And I encourage everyone to go out, look around, and capture their world on film". To the young people of Gilmanton in particular, he says, "Put down your game controllers, take a break from texting and put a camera to your eye. Find and enjoy, the beauty of Gilmanton and the world around you. Simply take the time to look through the lens and you will be surprised at what you might find in your own back yard."

 

All of the photos are available for sale and there will be a photo album for you to look through and choose those you wish to purchase. In addition, there will be note cards available for sale. The note cards are 5x7 and are photo quality so you can frame them. We will be donating 10% of any sales.

We hope to see you there!

 


 

Letter

 

On August 28, 2011, our house suffered extreme damage due to the hurricane, and we had to evacuate immediately.

 

My husband Don, our 14-month-old daughter, Deanna, our cat, and I were faced with being homeless, and it was overwhelming. If it were not for the wonderful people in the town of Gilmanton, we are not sure how we would have made it through that day, and the difficult weeks that have followed.

 

We would like to thank the Gilmanton Fire Department, Darryl and Linda White of Alton, Mike and Sue Kirwan, the O’Malley’s, Bob Potter and sons, J.R. Stockwell, George and Sandy Burbank, the wonderful staff at Marriott in Gilford, Bob Flanders, the Gilmanton Iron Works postmaster, and especially the Lander family, who reached out to us and offered us a more permanent living arrangement. You were all there for us when we had no idea what to do, and we are so thankful.

 

So many others have sent us cards and have offered us support, and we would like to thank you as well. The Gilmanton Women’s Club, Wayne and Martha Robie of Allenstown, Brenda McBride, the Red Cross, the folks at Citizen’s Bank in Pittsfield, and our wonderful family that does not live in this immediate area but came up here to help us move and watch Deanna in the garage as we went in the house to sift through the mess...

 

I do apologize if I did not name everyone, but I just wanted to let people know how much we appreciate everything.

 

Sincerely,

Don, Donna and Deanna Rondolet

Gilmanton Iron Works
