Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News 
Submitted By Carol Hendee


It’s almost time again for Days of Sharing. It happened in April and will happen again at the end of July.


Baby Threads, (supported by the Attic) supports the Partners in Health Family Council. There is a huge clothing giveaway in Lancaster, NH, twice a year.


In April, 974 people each received 2 brand new items of their choice, plus they helped themselves to all of the used items that they needed. Even more people are expected to participate in July.


Items we could use help with are: toilet paper, paper towels, water bottles (for volunteers to drink) and computer paper, and note books. You can read about the Days of Sharing on the Baby Threads web site.

I was surprised when a person came into the store and said she had trouble finding us - never could figure out where we were. Finally, “just before the Pittsfield line” made the connection for her. We are 5 mi. on Rte. 28 No. from the Epsom Circle - just past the Blue Seal Store, look on the left for a long row/plaza of whitish buildings - you’ll see an exotic fish store, a beauty shop, Parker’s Roast Beef, and the Army/Navy store. We’re on the end.


From Alton/Pittsfield, Rte. 28 South, a half mile past Globe Firefighters -we’re on your right. Diamond Signs is facing that direction. It’s been a wonderful time for donations. Stop in and see what’s new. The book section is well stocked. We still have  a good selection of shorts and tank tops. Also kitchen items for your barbeque, summer camp or camper. We’re at 345 Suncook Valley Hgwy., Chichester. For further information, please  call 435-9339. Our new Summer Hours are:


Tues., 8-4; Wed., 11-4; (this is a change from 8-4) Thurs., 8-4, and Sat., 11-4.

 


 

Concord Hospital Receives $7,000 Gift From

The Fraternal Order Of The Eagles

 

(Left to right): Rachel Heath, Grand Madam Trustee of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Grand Auxiliary; Deanne Pelletier, Concord Hospital; Jeanette MacDonald, Concord Auxiliary Madam President; Ferenc Nagy, Concord Aerie Worthy President.

 

The Fraternal Order of the Eagles has donated $7,000 to Concord Hospital Trust to support the pediatric department and the Regional Early Activation Care Team (REACT).


Two thousand dollars of the gift came from the Eagles Jimmy Durante Children’s Fund and will partially fund the purchase of a much-needed treatment table for Concord Hospital’s recently renovated pediatric patient care unit.


The remaining $5,000 came from the Eagles Max Baer Heart Fund and will support REACT, a collaborative effort of Concord Hospital, Lakes Region Healthcare and Laconia Fire Department. The REACT initiative enables Laconia Fire Department to wirelessly transmit EKG data from their vehicle to the nearest Emergency Department for immediate interpretation and recommendation for transport to the most appropriate medical facility. For patients experiencing myocardial infarction (heart attack) this state-of-the-art equipment provides life-saving measures.


“Our members continue to work tirelessly to raise funds in support of our local resources. It is our mission to join together fraternally to help others in need.” says Rachel Heath, Grand Madam Trustee of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Grand Auxilary.


A Concord #613 member since 1987, Rachel along with others in the New Hampshire chapter believe wholeheartedly in their mission–- “The Fraternal Order of Eagles, an international non-profit organization, unites fraternally in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills, and by promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope.”

 


 

Letter


As a newly rooted resident of Chichester of three years, I have now resided at the same address longer than any time in my 45 year nomadic life. I have found my forever home, and Chichester will now be a part of my life from here forward. As such, my newly vested interest in the town is coming to light, and I have a few thoughts to share.

 
This letter is born of the intent for Bethel Builders to erect a sign across Route 4 from the Hess station. Not any sign, mind you, but an electric sign, with its own control room, and remote control capabilities. The sign is proposed to espouse tidbits from the Bible, such as proverbs and scripture. It is planned to be 43 square feet. My questions are simple: Really? Is all our taste in our mouth? Can we get any tackier?


This town has unparalleled beauty which lies only one road aside Route 4. As an avid mountain biker, I can attest that Chichester is truly a beautiful town with scenic nooks and crannys that rival any town in New Hampshire. Route 4, however, is ugly. It is in the best interest of the Chichester residents to promote business in the town, however, in my opinion, I think that we can concern ourselves a little more about the way we arrange our furnishings in the living room of Chichester that is Route 4.
