The Chichester Youth Association Ski Program will start on Friday, February 20th and not on the 13th as originally stated.
 



Remember the 20/20 Vision meeting on Saturday, February 14. The Master Plan Committee will share the results of their Survey (Have you filled yours out yet?) and gather additional citizen input for what Chichester will look like in another ten years. Breakfast and lunch will be served and child care will be provided.
 



For the past 2 years the Chichester Library has had a “Food for Fines” program where patrons having late books can bring needed items for the Chichester Food Pantry instead of paying a cash fine.  The library is going to continue this program in 2009.  We do have many patrons that are not late but still bring food pantry donations to the library.  If you would like to give to the Chichester Food Pantry, just drop by your library.  Thank you.
 



The Chichester Youth Association MAMA KICKS Valentine’s Day event is SOLD OUT!  Thank you to all who purchased tickets and promoted the event.  Please remember your ticket must be presented at the door.
 



Happy Birthday to Patrick Jarvis on February 12 and Heather Duford and Kendra Jarvis on February 16.

Letter To The Editor


Dear Suncook Valley Sun:
Recently, I took in a lady who was pregnant and staying in a homeless shelter. Before we could get any baby supplies, the baby came. I turned to Ruth at Out Of Your Attic for help, and I have to say thank you to her and everyone there. The baby now has a place to sleep, a changing table, a swing, a start up kit, and clothes.


While thanking Ruth, she said to me, “The day I can’t help people and volunteer, is the day I will just stay at home.”


Ruth, you are an asset to that community, and I hope you never just: “sit at home.”
Thank you again Out Of Your Attic.


Sincerely,
Brenda Churchill

 


 

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop
Donating Time and Goods


I’ve volunteered for the past 13 years in thrift shops. Before I took this last volunteer job as manager of the thrift shop, I tried to get to know the people who ran Baby Threads where our money goes after we pay all our bills.


I really wanted to know if the money went where it should and if it reached the folks who really needed help. Obviously I was happy with what I discovered as I’m still here. If you want to know what we do just stop in for a visit and get to know what we’re all about.


Volunteering is a good way to see first hand for yourself what an organization really gets done.


It’s nice to give your donations locally as it may end up helping a local family. None of us knows what the economic problems may be in the near future. Town budgets are demanding and if you can cut down on clothing items and other items thrift stores sell it will give you more to save for tax bills.


Isn’t it smarter to spend your money wisely and get the most for your dollar? It’s always seemed to me like maybe it was just as important to save money as it was to work hard earning it.


Wish list:
1) Lady wanting a large casserole dish 3 quart or bigger.
2) Replacement pot for Cusinart coffee pot (12 cup).
