Class Of 1980 To Sponsor Food Drive
This June commemorates the 30th year since the Class of 1980
graduated from Coe-Brown. We were a class of about 32: we had our
share of brainy kids, talented jocks, party animals, and your
average, small town kids. Some of us began school together in Miss
Gardner’s Northwood Kindergarten. Others joined our class in
grade and high school. As I’m sure you’ll agree, classmates share
special bonds.
Sadly, in 2008, our class lost of one of its friends. Doug Jackson
succumbed to a family illness. In Doug’s memory, our class purchased
a commemorative, engraved tile. It hangs in CBNA’s cafeteria. Doug’s
tile reads: HONORING OUR FRIEND DOUGLAS T. JACKSON, 1962-2008. AN
EAGLE SCOUT AND THOUGHTFUL FRIEND. FROM CLASSMATES 1980
To
further honor Doug’s memory, at the banquet, our class will initiate
a four-year food drive called: DOUG JACKSON MEMORIAL FOOD DRIVE –
CLASS OF 1980
Beginning at this banquet, it is suggested that each alumni wishing
to help the needy in local communities, bring a canned good/staple
item to the annual Alumni Banquet. Each of the four years, the
collected goods will then be donated to local food pantries in the
towns that Coe-Brown’s students resided in when Doug was in school.
Each year a different town will receive our collective gift: in 2010
it will be Northwood, then Nottingham, Strafford, and Deerfield.
When this four-year program runs its course, our class will have
honored Doug admirably, and will relinquish our hold on this food
drive, in case another class wishes to continue the project in
memory of their late classmate(s). Thank you ahead of time for the
food donations at the banquet. Knowing how Doug liked to sing and
play his guitar, I imagine him on some Hawaiian luau cloud, playing
and singing with other angels. He will happily give his nod of
approval.
In
addition to the Alumni food drive, the Class of 1980 is invited to
Lisa (Allen) Kennard’s home in Nottingham on Sunday, June 13 at
12:00. We will enjoy visiting and playing some games while we
reminisce. Contact/RSVP:

NALMC Workshop And Hike An Experiment In
Collaborative Land Management
Carl Wallman, founder and chair of the Northwood Area Land
Management Collaborative (NALMC) will co-host a workshop with Malin
Clyde of the UNH Cooperative Extension Coverts Program on June 12,
starting at 11:00 at Harmony Hill Farm in Northwood. He’ll tell the
story of the NALMC, how the group started, and what they hope to
accomplish. Their efforts have attracted the attention of natural
resource professionals across New England, who are looking at
Northwood as a model for how to put the idea of “ecosystem
management” into practice on the ground. As Carl will describe, it’s
not always simple or easy, but the rewards are real: community
enthusiasm, better communication, and a much more united approach to
thinking about the land. The program is free, but registration is
required.

Christian Leaders (Part 3) Biblical Leadership Seeks The Good
Of Others By Pastor Ted White
Biblical leadership has to have
the right motivation. Leaders are to look to the flock’s best
interest from a Biblical viewpoint and encourage the flock in that
direction. Too many times leaders are looking out for their own
interests and not the interest of those they have been made
overseers of by the Holy Spirit of God (Acts 20:28). The Apostle
Paul gives us some insight to servant leadership in I Corinthians
chapter 10 and verses 31-33. Here are a few:
-He sought to do
everything for the glory of God, to exalt God in all he did.
-He
did not want to cause anyone to stumble, to falter on his account
whether Jewish, non-Jewish those who have trusted Jesus. Paul never
shied away from what God’s Word had to say, he just wanted to
present the Word in a godly way.
-He also wanted to please
everyone in every way. He is not talking about sinful activity here,
but plain and simply the willingness to be a servant to anyone.
-He was not seeking his own good, but he was seeking the good of
many.
-He was seeking their good that ultimately they would be
saved.
