Letter
To The Residents of Pembroke and Chichester:
It has been a pleasure to serve as your state representative
but, I have chosen not to run for another term.
Running for my vacancy is Ms. Dianne Schuett. Dianne retired
a few years ago after working for the Clerk of the
Legislature for twenty-five years. She is very knowledgeable
with the legislative process and will be ready to serve from
day one.
I urge you to vote for Dianne Schuett along with Frank Davis
and Sally Kelly.
Frank is serving in a leadership role and also on Ways and
Means, one of the most influential communities in the House.
His experience has been a valuable asset to the people of
New Hampshire.
Along with Dianne and Frank is Sally Kelly. Sally serves on
the Labor Committee. She did an admirable job heading up
special subcommittee chairmanships.
They will be a great team for our towns.
It has been my honor to serve the citizens of Chichester and
Pembroke. Thank you.
Rep. Vincent E. Greco
Pembroke, NH

Allenstown Selectmen’s Meeting
The Allenstown Board of Selectmen have a Selectmen’s meeting
scheduled for October 20th to discuss a proposal for
Allenstown to submit a CDBG grant as the matching funds for
the planned avulsion mitigation project of the Suncook River
located in Epsom. Epsom and NH DES have decided that
Alternative #3 is the method that they will use to resolve
the avulsion problem. This project would limit the damage to
residences in Allenstown. Additionally the situation in
Epsom must be corrected before any mitigation can occur in
the Allenstown/Pembroke sections of the Suncook River. The
Selectmen will be determining whether they will be the
applicant for the matching funds. You and your neighbors may
wish to attend this meeting at town hall to find out more
about this proposal.
