Pink Heals Tour


The Pink Heals Tour is coming back to NH! Formerly known as the Pink Ribbon Tour, a group of firefighters from Arizona who are passionate about breast cancer issues, are driving a pink fire truck across the country to promote breast cancer awareness. www.pinkheals.com. www.pinkribbonnews.blogspot.com. You can also view YouTube (search “Pink Heals”, and view the video submitted by taytaybaybay - there are other videos including two from NH, but this is the best one). The pink turnout gear worn by the Tour group was made and donated by Globe Manufacturing Company LLC, located in Pittsfield, NH, (the largest firefighter turnout gear manufacturer in the world).


There will be a Meet and Greet at the Concord Courtyard Marriott back parking lot on September 29 at 6 p.m.


On Wednesday, September 30, from 4 p.m.-8 p.m., join the Tour at the NH Fire Department Training Grounds next to the Douglas N. Everett Arena in Concord. Meet the firefighters, sign the pink fire truck; visit with your American Cancer Society, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, the Payson Breast Care Center, and more. Games, giveaways, and a Survivor Tent.


Bring your family, friends and co-workers; wear PINK to show your support.

 


 

As part of State Wetlands Board requirements that allowed the renovations at Pittsfield Youth Athletic Park to move forward, many trees and bushes had to be planted along the brook adjacent to Fields #2 and #3. Thanks to the expertise and volunteer labor of Chris Morel and his helper Jake Ramsey of “We Can Do Landscaping,” it was carried off without a hitch. They helped unload and locate the bushes and placed them in the ground. Thank you Chris and Jake.

Mr. Moulton had been a student in Pittsfield. Mrs. Ames had had many of those in the audience as students and remembered their days in her classroom.

 


 

Pittsfield Players To Present A Song and Dance Review


October 8th and October 9th, these are the dates to save. Why? That’s the dates the Pittsfield Players are performing in two very special shows to benefit the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign.


In these very tough economic times, the players felt they wanted to do something to make a difference. The players have always been a group that gave back to its community, and would like to continue to do so. We felt the importance of this very special cause could not go unnoticed.


A group of ten talented performers will give you a night you will remember, with Broadway tunes, comedy, and popular tunes as well.


The show is titled A Song and Dance Review and there are two opportunities to see this wonderful performance. On October 8th, 2009 at the Scenic Theater in Pittsfield, NH, and again on October 9th, 2009, at the Concord High School Auditorium. Shows start at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $10.00.


The show is directed by DeeDee Pitcher and produced by Bea Pszonowsky, both long time Pittsfield Players. The cast includes The director and producer as well as Angel Douglas, Jean and Angelo Gentile, Jon Martin, Brian Blake, Lena Luongo, Louise Maheaux, and Nathan Strong. So save one of these dates for a night to remember, as well as to help raise funds to erase a disease that has afflicted way too many women. 100% of the proceeds of the performance will go to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Women Of Rotary

The Pittsfield Women of Rotary and a few invited guests recently toured Doug Towle’s newest project at the top of Frisky Hill in Gilmanton. Here they are making their way to the schoolhouse which is home to many authentic pieces including double desks, Rand McNally maps, pictures of the Presidents, a schoolmarm’s desk, an organ from the Trace family and a small child’s organ. The desks are equipped with slates, inkwells and books. The Women of Rotary were thrilled with the program echoing their thanks many times over.


Doug Towle was host to 16 members and 11 guests at the first meeting of the 2009/10 year of Women of Rotary.


We met at the top of Frisky Hill at Doug’s “compound” and were given an awesome tour and history of his reconstructed, 1600 era buildings.


Yearbooks were passed out, but business was set aside until the next meeting.


Thank you, Ann Carpenter for a super program and thank you, Doug for having us and for a 4-star presentation.
