Greater Pittsfield Chamber Of Commerce
Submitted By Michele Beauregard
The Greater Pittsfield
Chamber of Commerce was excited to hold yet another successful
Business After Hours. The event was hosted by the Ring Family;
Harry, Ellis and Sandi; and sponsored by Lake Shore Farm located
on 275 Jenness Pond Road in Northwood. All Chamber Members were
provided a wonderful and comforting setting to network their
businesses.
When we arrived, we were located in the barn that can be
used as a function room for corporate outings or even for
weddings. It was huge and such a great place to have the
Business After Hours event! I have even done a little square
dancing there myself which it was the perfect setting with
plenty of room to move around in!
A tour of Lake Shore Farm was given by Sandi. We were able
to see all the beauty that Lake Shore Farm has to offer their
guests. This is a quiet Country Inn that has been opening their
doors to families and companies since 1926. The house feels like
home and is very welcoming to anyone who comes to visit!
The food is also another wonderful thing! I have experienced
it first hand and if you are looking for a home cooked meal,
this is definitely the place to go to eat! Everything is even
served as if you are at home in beautiful dishes so you can take
the portion that works for you with the food that you like!
After our tour of the facility we all sat down and enjoyed a
Yankee swap. This was a lot of fun!!! Everyone walked away with
a great gift, but it was enjoyable watching everyone open
his/her gift and hide it from others so as not to get it
stolen!!!
The Members who attended were able to interact with one
another and had the opportunity to learn about the individual
businesses and the services they offer. Everyone had a wonderful
time! There were at least 30 people at this event which was
wonderful to see! To learn more about this event and others, you
can visit The Greater Pittsfield Chamber of Commerce web site at
www.pittsfieldchamber.org.
We would like to send out a special Thank You to Lake Shore
Farm! We appreciate your offering the space within your
wonderful and welcoming Country Inn to allow us to network! If
you have not been to Lake Shore Farm, you need to!! It is a
great place to get away and enjoy time with the family!!! Give
them a call at (603)942-5921 or visit them on the web at:

2010 Relay for Life Wolfeboro Kickoff Party
Have you vowed to make 2010 the year to make a difference?
Well now you have your chance to follow through on your
resolution and participate in the American Cancer Society’s 2010
Relay For Life Wolfeboro.
The American Cancer Society is looking for anyone who wants
to honor cancer survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed
with cancer) and caregivers, or pay tribute to those who have
lost their battle with cancer to join its Relay For Life
Wolfeboro, starting at 2 p.m., June 26, 2010, at the Nick
Recreational Park, Rte. 28 Wolfeboro.
To get things started, The Relay For Life kickoff rally will
be held at 7 p.m., Tuesday, January 19 at the Windrifter Resort
337 South Main Street, Wolfeboro. All interested participants,
families, caregivers, companies, schools, etc. are invited to
the kick off rally to get involved, sign up for activities, and
educate themselves about one of the American Cancer Society’s
biggest fund-raisers.
For those unfamiliar with Relay For Life, it is an overnight
community effort where individuals and teams camp out, have fun
and take turns walking around a track relay style to raise funds
to fight cancer. As day turns to night, participants will light
hundreds of luminaria around the track in an inspiring ceremony
to honor cancer survivors as well as friends and family members
who have died from the disease. Relay For Life represents hope
that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those
who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will
be eliminated. This year vow to remember three things:
Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The
strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
Remember loved ones lost to the disease.
At Relay, people who have walked alongside those battling
cancer can grieve and find healing. Fight Back. We Relay because
we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an
end to the disease. Make a commitment to save lives by taking up
the fight!
Relay For Life Wolfeboro participant area is all of Carroll
County, the Lakes Region and Barnstead, Pittsfield area, and
will take place June 26 and 27, 2 p.m. to 8 a.m. at the Nick
Recreational Park, Wolfeboro. For More information call

“Neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night,” and we
might add “nor cold, nor snow,” can stop Dan Schroth and crew
from working on the stonewall at Pittsfield Youth Athletic Park.
Pictured from left to right are Dan, Clinton Brewster, James
Schroth, and Jeffrey Ames. Missing from the picture is Ryan
Chase. They have been hauling rock to the wall and rebuilding it
throughout the fall and this winter. Thanks guys, for your great
help.
Letter To The Editor
To The Good Citizens Of Pittsfield:
Just got back from a
Planning Board meeting. Jim Pritchard presented his petitions
for a Public Hearing, Home Occupation Amendment and a New Road
Frontage Definition.
He got hammered by the public and the Board. Politics
sometimes is not very friendly. I voted with the majority of the
Board not to recommend these new rules.
Some members, including myself, felt that having entered
into an agreement with the Central NH Regional Planning
Commission with approval from the Selectmen, the Planning Board
would spend the next year rewriting Pittsfield’s Zoning. The
work would start March 29 and finish with a town vote March
2011.
I heard on the radio the other day A man’s reach should
exceed his grasp. However, Jim Pritchard’s proposals are trying
to tie our hands.
Consider voting NO in 2010 and YES in 2011. Let’s not throw
away any more freedom.
And now some entertainment:
“When the sun rises I go to
work
When the sun goes down I take my rest
I dig the well
from which I drink
I farm the soil that yields my food
I
share creation, kings can do no more.”

Kim’s final days were spent surrounded by her twin sister,

Crisman, who supported her by enhancing the quality of her life;
all the doctors and nurses who cared for her during her recent
months of illness, the aides, teachers, and therapists from the
Pittsfield and Manchester school districts, and the Monarch
