The annual Memorial Day program sponsored by Chichester Grange will be held on Tuesday, May 30, at 6:30 p.m. at the Grange/Town Hall. Plan to meet inside for a brief inspirational program, and then move outside for placing a wreath at the memorial stone and a flag ceremony. This program is held each year on the “traditional” Memorial Day so as not to conflict with other observances in the area.

Town Wide Yard Sale
Chichester Firefighters Association is once again sponsoring the Chichester Town Wide Yard Sale on Saturday June 3rd, 8am-2pm. There are several ways you can participate: If you want to come to a central location, spots will be available at the Town Hall parking lot. If you are having a sale at your home or business you may have your yard sale location and description placed on a Town of Chichester map. There is no charge for either of the above, but a donation to the Firefighters Assoc. equipment fund would be greatly appreciated. Lastly, if you have some items you want to get rid of, but don’t want to have your own sale, the Firefighters Association will accept donated items which we will sell to add to the equipment fund. Donation of items will be accepted at the fire station the week of May 29-June 2. No clothing or upholstered furniture please. You may leave items by the front door if no-one is there. Pick up can possibly be arranged.

 

Maps will be available for pickup at the fire station on Friday June 2nd or at the Town Hall on Saturday the 3rd. Once again, there is no cost for any of this, but we are suggesting a donation to the Firefighters Association Equipment Fund, which is used to buy equipment for the fire-rescue department, beyond what is available in the regular budget.

 

You may register for the Yard Sale or get more information by visiting our website: www.chichesterfireassociation.org You may also contact Paul Sanborn at 608-6252, Ben Chaffee at 603-486-6555, or sign up at the fire station.

 


 

Chichester Grange Awards Night
Submitted By Hannah West

 

Chichester Grange held its Annual Awards Night on May 3 with forty-nine people in attendance.

 

Officer Philip A. Arnone was recognized as Police Officer of the Year. Phil came to the Chichester Police Department in April, 2016, and graduated from the Police Standards and Training Academy in August of the same year. An avid hockey player, he jumped into the Chad of Dartmouth program with enthusiasm. He played as a member of the police team in this year’s Battle of the Badges and scored three of the nine goals as the forward of the team. More importantly, he raised $5500.00 for the charity and made a life-time friend named Parker.  We hope he will remain a full time officer with the Chichester Police Department for many years.

 

Elaine Coffey was chosen as this year’s Community Citizen. She worked at Chichester Central School for 25 years, sixteen of them as a special education teacher. In her retirement she has embraced volunteer work. She volunteers at Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop and both the Concord and Pittsfield food pantries. She also volunteers at Concord VNA Hospice, doing office work. She has been volunteering at the refugee center in Concord on a weekly basis. She is a deacon at the First Congregational Church of Pittsfield and can be seen working in the root beer float booth at Pittsfield Old Home Day to earn money for the infant/toddler diaper pantry that the church sponsors. The greater Chichester area is enriched by Elaine’s energy and caring.

 

This year it was Chichester Central School’s turn for the Educator of the Year award. The Grange decided to honor Principal Brian Beaverstock for the positive impact that his energy and enthusiasm has had on Chichester’s students, faculty, and parents. Even the school building has benefitted from his oversight of the installation of a new septic system, a new furnace, and a number of issues with the well and the water system. Mr. Beaverstock has been at Chichester Central for nearly three years, and we hope he will remain for many more years, helping  Chichester School thrive.

 

Shirley Sullivan, this year’s Postal Worker, is a rural carrier associate at the Epsom Post Office. She began her career at the Post Office in 1987 and has covered many jobs over the years.  Outside of work she cares for her family, is an avid bird watcher, and is currently designing a tiny house with her brother. Everyone at the Epsom Post Office appreciates her smiling face and positive attitude.

 

The Outstanding Youth Award was given to some young ladies who, as members of the Teen Advisory Group at the Chichester Library, successfully completed an oral history of several Chichester residents.  They prepared appropriate questions, conducted interviews, and recorded and edited the results. Hana Testerman, Emily Allen, and Sarah Miner were present to receive their awards. Mikayla Cadorette also helped with the project but was not present at the Awards Night.

 

The evening ended with refreshments and a social time.
