Diane Nyren Is Artist In The Gilmanton Year Round Library
Diane Nyren is Gilmanton Year-Round Library’s summer Artist in the
Library. Her paintings and other creations are on display during
July and August. Meet her at a reception on July 14th, 1:30 - 3:30
pm.
Diane Nyren will be the Artist in the Library July through August. A
selection of her oil paintings, floor canvases and decorated ‘found’
objects are displayed at the Library (on Route 140 opposite the
Gilmanton School). Meet the Library’s newest artist at an Artist
Reception on Saturday, July 14th, from 1:30 to 3:00 pm at the
Library. All are welcome; light refreshment will be served.
Diane has lived in Gilmanton for 13 years. After retiring from
federal service in 2006, she decided to take her hobby of decorative
painting to a whole new level. Diane loves to paint oil canvases.
Her specialty is pet portraits. She brings old items of furniture
back to life via acrylics, with her knack for knowing just what it
needs, be it folk art, flowers, or wildlife. She paints custom
murals and other custom works on whatever surface anyone wants!
Diane has taught decorative painting classes, and is in the process
of starting up classes in Gilmanton.
GCC Food Pantry And Thrift Shop News
Bag Sale, Bag Sale, Bag Sale! That’s right, the Bag Sale is back.
The sale will begin Monday, July 9th and run through Saturday, July
28th. Anything and everything in the thrift shop that you can fit
into a brown paper bag is yours for just $8.00. Better yet, you can
purchase 2 bags for just $15.00.
Fill your bag with wonderful brand name clothing for the entire
family from infants on up. There are still plenty of warm summer
days left for a new outfit. Or perhaps your son or daughter is going
off to camp and you don’t want to send the "nice" stuff to camp.
Gramma, are the grandchildren coming for a week to the lake house
and always forgetting a sweatshirt or sandals or even their
swimsuit? And don’t forget that back to school always starts with
those last days of hot summer weather and the kids have surely
outgrown last years school clothes already.
Come on down to the GCC Food Pantry and Thrift Shop for some really
great clothing during our Bag Sale, July 9th thru July 28th.
1 bag for $8.00, 2 bags for $15.00! Remember that all proceeds from
the sales at the Thrift Shop go to support the GCC Food Pantry.
We are still collecting items for our 3rd annual yard sale. We are
accepting items that are in good, saleable condition. The Yard
Sale will be held on Saturday, July 14th from 8 am to 2 pm at
the Gilmanton Community Church on Route 140 in the Iron Works. There
will be No Pantry Services available on the day of the yard
sale.
If you have items you wish to donate please come by the GCC Thrift
Shop or call Beth at 267-1934 or Jane at 364-7437. Please do not
leave items at the church or the pantry building as we are not there
everyday and items may be exposed to weather and possible damage. We
hope to see you at the Yard Sale on the 14th for some really
great bargains.
Food items for donation can be brought to the Food Pantry or left in
one of our collection boxes. Boxes are located at the Gilmanton
School, Academy Building and at the Year Round Library. We thank you
for your continued support of the programs at the Food Pantry. If
you wish to make a monetary donation you can mail it to GCC Food
Pantry and Thrift Shop, PO Box 6, Gilmanton IW, NH 03837.
We are always looking for volunteers to work at the Food Pantry and
Thrift Shop. We also need people to help with various jobs
associated with running the pantry and thrift shop like picking up
our donated breads from Hannaford, sorting clothing, planting and
weeding of the new garden and of course we will need extra help on
the day of our yard sale. If you would like to help us out, please
call Jane Sisti at 364-7437.
We are located on Route 140 in Gilmanton Iron Works, across from the
Iron Works Market. We are open on Monday 1pm – 5pm, Wednesday 3pm –
7pm, and Saturday 10am – 2pm. Parking is located in the Gilmanton
Community Church parking lot just west of the shop.
