The Gilmanton American Legion Auxiliary Ellis-Geddes-Levitt Unit 102
invites supporters and guests to join us and many other fine craft
and holiday gift providers at the 2014 Gilmanton Holiday Craft Fair
hosted by the Gilmanton PTA on Saturday, November 29th, from 9am to
3pm at the Gilmanton School, 1386 NH Route 140. For 55 years Unit
102 has served the military servicemen and women and military family
needs of the community.
The Auxiliary will have many delicious food items to enjoy during
your Holiday Season. We also have a beautiful Holiday/Winter Basket
raffle! It’s a unique and exciting gift for someone special on your
list or enjoy this basket of home items, food treats and surprises
for your own.
We will be accepting non-perishable food items for the Gilmanton
Food Pantry. Bring along an item or two and have that warm feeling
of directly sharing with others in the community.
All proceeds from the Auxiliary’s efforts at this and other annual
events are used to support service-members, veterans, their families
and the community. We look forward to seeing you at the Fair and
hope you will stop by our location to browse, enjoy and say hello!
Letter
Dear Neighbors in District 5,
The elections of 2014 have come and gone and we all have our
thoughts about the outcomes.
All races have their particular demands and surprises, but nothing
is more rewarding than the help and support of volunteers and
voters. Without you our democracy would suffer; our
diverse voices would not be heard.
During this race I had folks encourage me, put up signs, create palm
cards, prepare postcards for mailing, stand on corners, transfer
stations and polling sites holding signs, contribute to the costs of
the race, prepare food for volunteers, knock on doors and vote.
Our elections need to be more than mailboxes stuffed with printed
material. The outreach of candidates makes a difference and
acknowledges the value of individual participation. It
is important that the Candidates who won continue to reach out to
their constituents. The more informed we become the more
participatory we might be. Citizen participation is what will keep
our democracy strong.
I thank you for all your efforts on my behalf and thank all the
folks I met along the way who greeted me kindly despite our possible
differences.
Sincerely,
Deb Chase
Gilmanton
