Northwood Emergency Food Pantry
Northwood Emergency Food Pantry
has been awarded a $500 grant provided by the Techfabrik Fund of the
New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. This grant was made
possible through the efforts of the Northwood Congregational Church.
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation has been improving the
quality of life in our communities since 1962.
The
Food Pantry is pleased to accept this grant which will help supply
food for families and individuals in our community. Formed in the
early 1980’s, the pantry has been able to continue to provide this
service due to the generous support of many individuals and
organizations. It has been the hope of the Pantry that no
child or adult in the community would be without needed food or
basic health supplies. All donations, of any size, are greatly
appreciated. If you would like to donate food or make a monetary
contribution, please contact Food Pantry Coordinator Pat Jacobsmeyer
at 942-8912.

September
17th to 23rd is Constitution Week. This commemorates the signing of
the Constitution by twelve states in 1787.
Which state of the
original thirteen was not represented? Rhode Island.
Nowhere in
the Constitution does it say “It’s a Free Country.” However, in the
First Amendment, it does limit the freedom of speech/press/assembly
for defamation, perjury, treason and various other things.
The
only reference to God is where the date is written “Seventeenth Day
of September in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and
eighty seven.”
The U.S. Constitution is the oldest Constitution
still in active use in the world today and is the basic document of
our republic, which protects the individual liberties of all
citizens through written law.
“We the people of the United
States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote
the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.”
These words are
the preamble to our constitution, written over 200 years ago.
There are 7 Articles. Article 1 establishes congress, which consists
of the Senate and House of Representatives as the Legislature.
Article 2 gives the Executive power to the President and Vice
President.
Article 3 is the Judicial power of the United States
establishing the Supreme Court and other lower courts.
The first
ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights and were ratified
effective December 15, 1791.
There are now 27 Amendments to the
Constitution.
