National Volunteer Week


Submitted By: Paula Driscoll and Zach Powers,
Program Director and Executive Director
This year America celebrates “National Volunteer Week” April 19-25, 2009. The Pittsfield Youth Workshop would like to extend a huge “THANK YOU!” to everyone who has volunteered their time this past year. Volunteers who donate their time at PYW involve youth in specific projects and help them develop new skills. They enjoy spending time with youth and have an appreciation for the issues facing today’s young people. At the present time we have volunteers who assist in the kitchen, during Cooking Club and at “Family Night” dinners. Others are here to teach crafts, teach new and old board games, and help maintain the building. During the year volunteers also assist with various events such as Old Home Day, Balloon Rally, and our Fiddle Contest. Currently we have adult volunteers from our community, surrounding communities and both the Elementary and Middle High schools. We also have a great Board of Directors that not only spend countless hours making sure everything runs smoothly at PYW but are always willing to spend time with the youth during Drop-In hours, or to cover for us, so we can take needed time off.


We welcome volunteers with a broad range of skills who can assist during Drop-In hours, Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM-6:00 PM during the school year and during summer vacation on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:00 PM-6:00 PM and  chaperones for various trips and special events are also needed. If you do not want to volunteer time with the youth but still want to help, you might consider volunteering on the Board of Directors or making a donation.


Helping just one child will make a big difference not only in your life, but theirs as well. Join us in supporting the youth of Pittsfield. Please call 435-8272 or email us at [email protected]. Drop by when you’re in the neighborhood and see what people who care can accomplish. Thank you.

Letter


Thanks to the Suncook Sun for bringing attention to all the new exhibits at the Currier Museum located in Manchester, New Hampshire. My husband and I went to the David Macaulay exhibit that was mentioned in the Suncook Sun and enjoyed it. The Carpenter Library on Main Street has many of David Macaulay’s books including some that are featured in the Currier exhibit.  While at the Currier, we saw a beautiful grandfather clock made by a Pittsfield resident on display on the second floor.  FYI, admission to the museum is free on Saturday morning.


Sincerely,
Judith MacLellan

Memories Of Billy
By Arlene Martin

 

 

“I’m going fishing” is what he said, as he went toward the door. Now he’s taken his pole along with him, cause he can’t go fishing anymore.


Last year, he and his son went out hunting, hoping to get a deer. It was so hard for him to walk in the woods carrying all his gear.


He spent his whole life in Pittsfield, had a wife and children here. Had relatives and many friends both far and near.


Loved the parks, the woods, the rivers, the celebrations that took place. These things made him happy. You could see it in his face.


When he came to our house, fish and game tales were always told. He always brought along some fish packed in ice to keep it cold.


We miss you Billy, now that you are gone, but we all have memories that will linger on.

Twenty-five dollars was voted toward the Easter Breakfast; twenty-five was voted to the Church Memorial Fund in memory of Helen Sweeney and it was also voted to have a lily in church on Easter Sunday in memory of deceased members.

The next meeting will be held in the Church Vestry on May 9.

 


 

Quilts, Tea, and Thee

 

 

 “Quilts, Tea, and Thee” featuring fine handcrafted quilts and tasty tea is set for May 9, 2-4 p.m. at the First Congregational Church, Pittsfield.


What do quilts and tea have in common? Both will be featured at the spring “Quilts, Tea, and Thee” social, Saturday, May 9, 2-4 p.m., at the First Congregational Church, 24 Main Street, Pittsfield.


This event, sponsored by the Dorcas Guild, is the first of its kind in the area. It will feature many inspired homemade quilts by area artisans, family heirlooms, newer items and quilts in progress, complete with a brochure describing each quilt’s history. As a special feature, the Pittsfield Historical Society has agreed to display the Congregational Church’s 1883 historic quilt.

 
Time is drawing near to forward the quilt entry form for your quilt submission, but it isn’t too late. The deadline has been extended to April 22, but don’t delay.


Tea and a variety of homemade goodies will be served. A donation of $3.00 is asked to cover the costs, and a gift shop will also be available to view and purchase unique handcrafted gifts – just in time for Mothers’ Day. A complimentary keepsake will be given to each visitor.


Don’t miss this great opportunity to view a fabulous quilt exhibit in the church Sanctuary and sample some tasty tea in the Vestry. For more information, call Elsie Morse at 435-6917 or Nella Hobson, 435-8385.
