The Reverend Linda B. Bolton Retires from the Gilmanton Community Church


The church family at Gilmanton Community Church, friends, and relatives celebrated Pastor Linda Bolton’s wonderful tenure at our church at her retirement party on February 28th at the Gilmanton Iron Works Church. A fabulous time was had by all, with a large crowd of people there to extend their good wishes to Pastor Linda. We had lots of good food and conversation, followed by a hilarious “roast” of Pastor Linda.
We want to thank Pastor Linda for her 13+ years of service and dedication to her Church family and the community at large. We all know her as “the Energizer Bunny” because of the energy and enthusiasm that she puts into everything she does. I am sure that her energy will not wane as she starts her retirement, and we will see her working in many different ways to continue to help her community and her church.

Letter To The Editor

 

To the Editor:
The Gilmanton Year-Round Library Association thanks everyone who attended and voted at Saturday’s Town Meeting in support of funding that would have enabled us to open the Library in this calendar year.


Unfortunately, we did not have the outcome we had hoped for, and town funding will not be forthcoming this year.


We continue to believe the Library is a part of Gilmanton both as a beautiful structure and more importantly as a testament to what can be accomplished with the commitment, generosity, and hard work of the many Library supporters. The mission is to realize a full-service year-round library for all of the citizens of Gilmanton. It is an important and worthy goal that will benefit our community and its families in many ways.


We will continue to pursue the goal of opening the Library doors as soon as possible, welcoming every citizen of the Town. The Association’s focus has always been town based with a special purpose to serve the children and students of Town. This purpose will continue to be as we go forward.


A very sincere thank you to the hundreds of individuals, families, and businesses who have supported our efforts. For those who are just learning of the project we invite you to join us in the continued work to provide Gilmanton with full library services for everyone.


Respectfully,
The Gilmanton Year-Round Library Board of Directors: Elizabeth Bedard,  Bill Foster, Alice Bean, Carol Mitchell, Carolyn Baldwin, Stanley Bean, George Kelley, Stephen Bedard, Carolyn Dickey, Carolyn Kelley, Ann Kirby, Nancy Stearns
