Letter

 

To the voters of Barnstead,

My name is Susan Conrad and I am running for a three-year term on the Barnstead Budget Committee. I have lived in Barnstead since 1977, having moved  from Pittsfield. 

 

My reason for seeking this position is to get involved again in the Town of Barnstead.  I have served on several committees in town, including the Safety Committee, Board of Adjustment, and other varied volunteer positions.

 

I retired as Library Director 2 years ago after 29 years of employment.  I was thrilled to be able to complete my three main objectives: increasing the number of employees, bringing the library into the technological age and to triple the size of the building.  

 

During my tenure as Library Director I attended almost every Town Budget Hearing.   I have tremendous respect for all those who volunteer their time to help Barnstead continue to be a great place to live.  I am willing to learn whatever I need to know in order to be an effective active member of the Budget Committee.

 

I now have time to become involved with the Town again and feel that I could be an asset to the Budget Committee.  My experience in the budgetary process is 29 years of never exceeding the Barnstead  Library’s operating budget.  I was also an intregal part of the building expansion in 2000 and I am very pleased to say that we came in under budget and under time. 

 

This is not a politically driven election for me.  You have two other people who are currently on the Board and are running for re-election. Both Ms. Carr and Mr. Gray are qualified to serve on the committee and have shown their dedication to the town by running.  

 

I ask for your vote, but most importantly I ask that you DO vote.  

 

Thank you.

Susan Conrad

Thank You

 

Since it has been my lot to find, at every parting of the road, the helping hand of comrade kind to help me with my heavy load, And since I have no gold to give and love alone must make amends, my humble prayer is, while I live -- God, make me worthy of my friends.

 

Thank you for your prayers and support through this difficult time. A very special thank you to Bob Strickland, Steve’s best friend, the best friend anyone could ever have.
