Business After Hours
Submitted By Michele Beauregard


The Greater Pittsfield Chamber of Commerce held their monthly Business After Hours.  The event was sponsored by Northway Bank in Pittsfield and was hosted by Carolyn Allhiser, branch manager,  and staff.   They provided a warm and welcoming event for all Chamber Members to meet and interact with one another.

 
The event was catered by Robin Donovan from the Garden Kitchen.  The food was delicious, which was apparent by the lack of leftovers remaining after the event.  Refreshments were provided by Northway Bank. 


Jared Griffin presented a short talk on Northway Bank’s cash management solutions, which interested the gathered business people in attendance.  Several prizes were given away during this event.  Northway Bank gave away a brief case; a gift basket from Moo-Veez Galore; as well as a candy bouquet from Sweet Bouquets and More.   

 
The Members all enjoyed their time during The Greater Pittsfield Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours.  We had over 40 people attend this event.  People were still stopping by at 8:00 as the event was finishing.


Each Member was able to interact with one another and had the opportunity to learn about the individual businesses and the services they offer.  For more information about The Greater Pittsfield Chamber of Commerce, please visit www.pittsfieldchamber.org.


We would like to send out a special Thank You to Northway Bank for offering the space for such a wonderful event.  Thank you for being the people we know and the bank that we all trust!!

 


 

Letter To The Editor


To the Fire Departments of Pittsfield, Barnstead and Epsom:
We would like to thank all the fire fighters who responded to our recent early morning chimney fire.  Due to the quick, experienced and coordinated response the fire was contained to the chimney with virtually no mess in our home.  Thank you to Pittsfield for coordinating all of the efforts, for providing support and continued communication throughout the process;  to Barnstead for the mutual aid use of their ladder truck and the firefighters who go with it.  A special thank you to the Barnstead firefighter on the ladder truck who continued to work even after the hot chains burned through his glove; he just put on a new pair and kept on working with an injured hand.


Thank you to Epsom for sending firefighters to assist. Thank you to the firefighters who squeezed through the tiny attic access scuttle hole to make sure the fire had not escaped the chimney; to the firefighters who carried bucket after bucket of ashes and debris from the basement as it was pushed down through by those on the roof.  Thank you to all of the firefighters and responders who assisted in putting out our fire. The sheer number of mostly volunteer firefighters that responded is simply astonishing.  Thank you.

 
Randy and Lori Clark

 


 

The Spring Raffle at Circle Child Care in Epsom was made possible by the generous donation of gift certificates by The TOY BOX of Pittsfield.  We were assured an unbiased drawing by turning to the children to pick from the tickets.  Lucky winners were Kody Morgan,  Lisa’s room, and the first prize went to the Keane family, just in time for Easter!  JT Keane doesn’t quite get the concept of the “gift certificate”, but we are sure he and his two brothers will get it soon.

Thank you to the Pittsfield Fire Department for their help on April 13th when I fell in my home and required emergency services.

Dorcas Guild


The Dorcas Guild of the First Congregational Church, Pittsfield, held its regular meeting on April 12th. Nella Hobson, president, opened the meeting and Sally Lewis led devotions, beginning with a great reading entitled, “The Cracked Pot,” and a fable from India with a religious moral.  All followed with the Lord’s Prayer.


The secretary read her report from the previous meeting, read several items of correspondence which included many thank you’s and circulated several cards to be signed and sent.  The treasurer gave her financial report.


The food basket, brought by Evelyn Richard was taken by Nella and will go next to Kathy Bergeron.  Mary Jo Powelson has the apron, which goes next to Shirley Bleckmann.  Elsie Morse won the mystery package, brought by Mary Lawson.


It was mentioned that the new flags (American and Christian) are hanging in the sanctuary, thanks to Sue Bleckmann who gave them in memory of her husband, Gilbert.  The CPR training date is set for May 7th from 8:30 to 12:30.  The AED (defibrillator) needs to be looked into further with fire officials.  It was announced the service project is going well and will continue through May.  The date for the “Cathedral in the Pines” trip is in place for June 25th.


It was voted to have a lily in church on Easter Sunday in loving memory of deceased members.  Members have been asked to supply desserts (mainly pies) for a Ham and Bean Supper to be held by the Food Pantry at the church on May 21st, from 5-7 pm.


Plans were made for the Dorcas Banquet to be held June 14th at Jitters.  Plans for hosting a Sunday Fellowship Hour were discussed.  A date will be decided on at the May meeting.


This meeting was “Talent Night” and several participated by telling stories and jokes.  Nella delighted the group with a couple of musical renditions on her autoharp.


Delicious refreshments were served by Sally Lewis, Nella Hobson, and Betty MacKay.  The cakes, punch and table decorations were all in keeping with Easter.  Very delightful.


The next meeting will be held on May 10th, with Kathy Bergeron and Mary Jo Powelson serving as co-hostesses.  Members are asked to bring a small vase and $3.00 for “Flower Arranging.”
