Attention All Gardeners
The Gilmanton Food Pantry needs your help.
If you have a green thumb and a little extra garden space why not
consider growing a row for your local food pantry.
Quality food grown and consumed locally is a meaningful example of
sustainable agriculture! Our group of volunteers will assist with the pickup
of donations on the 2nd & 4th Saturday of each month. If you would like to
join the effort please contact Lori Baldwin at: 435-7715 or email at
[email protected].
Get your Pittsfield Town-Wide Yard Sale maps at St. Stephen’s
Church and get the first look at our great yard sale items. We’ll
also be offering baked goods, Joe’s famous hot dogs, George’s
now-famous pulled pork sandwiches, and chili. Begin at 8 a.m. on
Saturday, June 5th, at the Church at 50 Main Street. See you there.

38th Annual Laconia Academy Graduation
The 38th annual graduation of Laconia Academy, the Adult Evening
High School Diploma Program will be held on Friday, June 4, 2010, at 7:00
p.m. in the Auditorium at Laconia High School. Alex L. Ray, Owner, of the
Common Man Family of Restaurants, will be the commencement speaker.
The general public is invited to attend the Laconia Academy Graduation.
Over the last 38 years, 1,131 Lakes Region residents have returned
to school at night to earn their high school diploma. Thirty high
school diplomas will be awarded on June 4. Many of the
graduates are unemployed and need their high school diploma to get a job,
earn a pay increase or job promotion. Some graduates returned to
Laconia Academy to increase their own self-esteem and personal
self-worth. Other graduates enrolled in the program will enter new
career fields, find a better job, or even get hired now that they have
their high school diploma.
Ten, June 2010 Laconia Academy Graduates are going on to post-secondary
education.
