Gilmanton Year-Round Library Forest Walk-a-thon
On October 18th at 11:00 AM join the Forest Walk-a-thon at the
Gilmanton Year-Round Library. Come and walk with friends and
neighbors up Cogswell Mtn. behind the library. This event will raise
money to support library operations.
There are two routes available. One is the short-loop course by the
pond, which goes past the observation platform overlooking the pond.
The longer route takes you up to the top of Cogswell Mtn. and is
about a 2 mile course. Guides will be available along the course to
point out areas of interest and direct your way. There will also be
an opportunity to participate in a forest scavenger hunt.
A free T-shirt will be given to the first 125 participants. Everyone
can enjoy a hot dog and drink after crossing the finish line. Prizes
will be awarded to the top earners during lunch.
Sign up and get your pledge sheet at the library or
download a form by going to
www.gyrla.org and clicking on WALKATHON
tab. Questions should be directed to Anne Kirby (364-7498 or
[email protected])
Please support the library by participating in this event. All
money raised will be used to benefit the Gilmanton Year-Round
Library’s operations.
Prizes donated by The Iron Works Market, The Gilmanton Winery and
Jordan’s Ice Cream and Brookside Pizza.
Letter To The Editor
To the Editor,
Recently Senator “Sam” Cataldo signed a “Pledge of Allegiance” to
Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a Virginia based, Koch brothers
founded and funded, right wing, political advocacy group. This means
that Senator Cataldo now cannot vote for any bill, no matter how
beneficial it would be for New Hampshire citizens, that would lead
to any tax or fee increase, and that he must fight against expanding
health care to those desperate for it, and that he must vote for
bills that would lead to lower wages for New Hampshire workers and
make their work sites more dangerous.
In 2010 AFP spent $40 million, in 2012 they spent $122 million, and
in 2014 they will spend a mind-blowing pile of money on reactionary
candidates and causes. Apparently the health, safety, and paychecks
of New Hampshire’s families do not make Senator Cataldo’s to do
list. What a shameful move by the Senator, pledging his independence
and integrity to out-of-state political operatives. Let’s not send
someone accountable to a Virginia political organization back to our
New Hampshire legislature.
