Happy Birthday to Julia Nadeau on November 25th.




The Chichester Town Pantry would like to thank the citizens of Chichester for their donations to the Boy Scout Food Drive.  I would especially like to recognize Linda Rauter and Sherry Brackett for their donation of time inspecting, sorting, and stocking the town’s portion of the food.  We are still in need of dish and laundry detergent as well as toilet paper and hygiene items.  Thank you for caring.



Chichester Grange will meet on Wednesday, December 1st, at 7 p.m. upstairs in the Grange Hall. The program for 2011 will be planned during the meeting.



Be sure to come to Chichester’s Christmas tree lighting on Saturday, December 4th, at 5 p.m. There will be cookies and hot chocolate, and Santa will arrive on the fire engine at 5:15 p.m. The Old Home Day Committee is coordinating this event.



The following titles have been recently added to the Youth and Easy Fiction section of the Chichester Town Library: The Fire Eternal by Chris D’Lacey, It’s Not the End of the World by Judy Blume, and Tinker Bell – two magical tales- Disney.

Canterbury Road Tree Project


The majority of magnificent sugar maple trees bordering the western end of Chichester’s Canterbury Road east of Main Street are dying or now dead.


Planted 75 years ago to shade a dirt highway; time, travel, age and disease have led to their demise.  Gone now is the scenic foliage splendor of years ago, as recently as the turn of this century.  Their country setting has changed.  The residents want it back.


Twenty-seven maple trees would need to be removed.  New trees should be planted in their stead.  With disease-resistant stock, proper planting, reduced highway salt, care and attention, neighbors are hoping for a revival.


The Chichester Heritage Commission has expressed a working interest in an effort to restore this natural heritage to the area.  In a letter to local residents, it is asking for commitment to such a reforestation project.


Citing a need for trees, volunteer labor, care-givers, planting equipment and funding, the Commission sees beginning the project in the spring of 2011 and expects taking more than one year to complete.

 


 

Ho! Ho! Ho!


The Chichester Police and The Chichester Police Association are once again sponsoring the Secret Santa Program for needy Chichester residents.  We will be accepting applications until December 10, 2010.  Applications may be picked up  at the Chichester Police department.


If you are aware of a family that needs assistance, please make the police department aware.  If anyone would like to volunteer to be an elf and do shopping or wrapping or both, please call the police department at 798-4911.  If anyone would like to make monetary donations, please make checks out to the Chichester Police Department.


This program is based on need and then we try to make smiles appear with surprises from Santa.  Once again, we wish to say thank you for all your continued support to this most worthwhile program.

 


 

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Submitted By Carol Hendee


 The yard sale in Laconia for Baby Threads was a huge success and preparations are well underway for the preparation of the Christmas Gift Bags.  The gift bags for young children and teens will be distributed in the surrounding communities, including Chichester. 


The Attic also benefited in that we have more new merchandise that was left over from the yard sale. 


There is nice dishware, glassware, an exercise machine, many items for Christmas decoration-both indoor and outdoor.  Also, cute Christmas books and tapes for children, Christmas cards and gift bags. 


On the flip side, what we have a need for at this time are twin size blankets or comforters, shampoo for children and adults, and baby onesies and playsuits for 0-3 month old babies.  Also, new books for children to  put in the bags that go home from the hospital with new mothers. 


If you want to drop off a non-perishable food item for Christmas food baskets, you can do that at our store at 345 Suncook Valley Hwy, Chichester, on Tues. or Thurs. 8-4, Wed. 11-4 and Sat. 10-4. 

 


 

Chichester Grange News


Chichester Grange #132 met on November 17th.  This week’s program was show and tell. 


Walter Sanborn started us off with a book of postcards that his wife Alice had collected with a patriotic theme.  Apparently Germany produced the best postcards.  Paul Davis brought a hillbilly flashlight (a stick of wood with matches attached!).  Rhoda brought a souvenir program book from when National Grange was last in New Hampshire in 1913.  Alice Hilliard brought souvenirs of her step niece’s green wedding.


The seating arrangement was organized by Vermont mountains with rock tower signs!  Kevin Belval brought in his broomball equipment. Carolee Davison showed a picture of the old schoolhouse she used to live in on Horsecorner Road.  Mary West showed off a quilt that Kathy Hodges made as a wedding present.  Hannah West brought a stuffed Brontosaur that represents how Grange is not extinct.  She plans to use it in the fair exhibit next year.  Fred Carlson brought a demonstration display for a Gillette razor, his most spectacular coupon display so far.


 Other highlights of the meeting included welcoming a new member and many lovely thank you notes from Chichester Central School.  The Grange recently presented each of the Chichester third graders with a dictionary. 


After the meeting everyone enjoyed delicious refreshments provided by Carolee Davison.

 


 

 On Saturday, November 13th, the Cub Scouts of Pack 85 in Chichester joined together with scouts all over our nation to participate in the annual Scouting for Food event. The Chichester Cubs collected, sorted, and counted 1982 food items throughout the morning. The food donated is distributed to many local food banks including our Chichester food pantry to assist those right in our own community. A big THANK YOU to the Chichester citizens for your help in making this one of our most successful Scouting for Food drives yet!
