Live And Let Live Farm Rescue And Sanctuary In New Hampshire Is
Verified By The Global Federation Of Animal Sanctuaries
The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS), the only
globally recognized organization providing standards for identifying
legitimate animal sanctuaries, awarded Verified status to Live an
Let Live Farm as of June 7, 2013.
Verification means that Live and Let Live Farm meets the criteria of
a true equine sanctuary/rescue and is providing humane and
responsible care of the animals. To be awarded Verified status, an
organization must meet GFAS’s rigorous and peer-reviewed animal care
standards which are confirmed by a site visit and they must also
adhere to a demanding set of ethical and operational principles.
The GFAS Equine Accreditation Program is made possible by generous
grants from PetSmart Charities® and The American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®.

Fund for Animal Welfare, the ASPCA, and American Anti-Vivisection

Chichester Grange
Members and friends of Chichester Grange gathered at the Windmill
Restaurant in Concord on July 17 for the Annual Eat-Out. Master
Kevin Belval presented 75-year membership certificates to Christine
Mobbs and Arlene Weeks. Both ladies had family members present for
the occasion. Christine’s daughters and Arlene’s son and daughter
were in elementary school together and were able to renew old
acquaintance.
Jean Farnum and Ginny Azotea were able to travel down from Franklin
for the meal. It was good to see them again, as they are no longer
able to attend evening Grange meetings.
The next meeting of Chichester Grange will be Wednesday, August 21,
as the Grange meets only once in August. In the meantime Chichester
Grange will have a float in the Old Home Day Parade and a booth at
Carpenter Park on Old Home Day.
