Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News 

Submitted By Carol Hendee

 

Recently, we have had several new people question what the purpose of the Attic Thrift Shop is; who we support, are we a non-profit etc. We were told people were looking for a new place to donate because of an upsetting news report on the place they used to donate to. 

 

The Attic Thrift Shop And Sewing Room (Baby Threads) are staffed 100% by volunteers and stocked 100% by donation.  We pay rent, utilities, liability insurance on the Attic and the Sewing Shop in Laconia. We also pay a tax accountant and rent on a storage unit. Baby Threads is a 501(c)3 non-profit and donations are tax deductible. Check out pictures of what is done on Facebook-Baby Threads of NH.

 

We are gearing up for another Day of Sharing in Lancaster. We are on Route 28; 5 miles north of the Epsom Circle in Chichester. Mon. 8-12; Tues. and Thurs. 8-4; Wed. 11-4 and Sat. 10-4. You can call us at 247-7191.

Plan NH Charrette Program

 

Residents of Chichester, especially Main Street property owners, are invited to attend a meeting at the Grange Hall, 54 Main Street, on Monday, July 22nd, at 7 PM. Robin LeBlanc, Plan NH Executive Director, will speak about the Community Charrette Program. A community charrette is a two-day intensive brainstorming session for the purpose of discovery. It brings together a team of professionals, community leaders, and residents to provide a setting for the exploration of needs and issues. Over 50 communities have participated in this process to find solutions to community issues and provide a vision for future planning.

 

The focus is on historic Main Street and how it can be defined as our “village center” as well as addressing pedestrian and vehicle traffic safety. What is our community’s vision for historic Main Street?

 

Please attend this important meeting to learn more about Plan NH’s Community Charrette Program and how you can participate.
