Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Submitted By
Carol Hendee
Seems like colder temperatures have arrived... So, we are putting
out hoodies for back-to-school days. I guess thrift shopping is
really very popular. There is now a National Second-Hand Wardrobe
Day, celebrated on 8/25!
There will be a special section for some Vogue dolls and dresses for
the serious collectors due to a wonderful donation!
We could use bubble wrap (used or new) paper towels and napkins.
We are 5 miles north of the Epsom Circle in Chichester and are open
Mon. 8-12; Tues. and Thurs. 8-4; Wed 11-4; Sat. 10-4. You can call
us at 247-7191.
News From The Chichester Heritage Commission
The Heritage Commission will be offering house date signs for sale
at Old Home Day on August 17th at Carpenter Park. Orders will be
taken for the 13˝” by 7” tombstone shaped sign with your house date.
The signs are made from recycled vintage wood from a local source.
Old patina is retained giving the plaque a historic look. The signs
are $20.00 (no border), or $25.00 with a handpainted black border.
Look for us this year under the Historical Society’s tent. We will
have our large green heritage commission banner to make us easy to
find.
As an extension of Old Home Day activities, plan to attend the
collaborative photographic exhibit of the Chichester Photo Group and
the Chichester Heritage Commission. This creative exhibit will be
held at the Grange Hall, 54 Main Street. This exhibit,
“Architectural Features of Historic Main Street Properties,” will
run Saturday, August 17th from 1:30 - 5:00 pm and Sunday, August
18th from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. Light refreshments will be available
on Saturday afternoon. Thanks to the many Main Street property
owners who have allowed photos to be taken of some very wonderful
architectural details.
The Chichester Heritage Commission meets the third Thursday of every
month at 7:00 pm at the Town Library, 161 Main Street. The charge of
the heritage commission is to preserve community character. The
Commission works in an advisory capacity to preserve and recognize
historic, cultural and scenic resources valued for their aesthetic
and community significance. We welcome your comments and
participation at meetings. We need your interest and continued
support. For information about the Heritage Commission call
798-5709.
Hunting Season Is Almost Here
Hunting seasons are almost here. So if you need a hunter education
class, sign up for one of the remaining classes available for 2013.
You can register online at
http:/www.huntnh.com/hunting/hunter_ed.htm. Just browse the calendar
for the best date and location for you. Most of the remaining
classes are in September. Walk-ins are accepted on a space
availability but there are no guarantees, so preregistration is
highly recommended.
If you have already completed the online course, please sign up for
the required field day now. There are a limited number of field days
left available at the beginning of October. No field days will be
offered from the end of October until spring.
Hunter education is required in New Hampshire before a new hunter
can purchase his or her first hunting license. If you are age 16 or
older you need a license to hunt.
The Chichester Town Clerk is a licensed Fish and Game Agent. So,
stop by and get that required license now. You do not need to be a
Chichester resident.

Chichester Central School News
The summer weeks have gone by quickly and the staff is looking
forward to welcoming back all of the students for the 2013-2014
school year. Summer school is over, the rooms are prepared,
supplies are in, new flooring has been installed, staff members have
taken part in training for the new math program, and a whole host of
other activities have taken place over the course of the summer
break. All students should have received a “welcome back” letter
from their homeroom teacher which listed the necessary supplies for
the start of the year.
Parents who would like to have their children use the New Morning
Childcare program and have not registered, can do so on Tuesday,
August 20 at 6 pm at the school multipurpose room. On the same
evening, from 6-7 pm in the school library, the second Reading
Evening will be taking place. Come and register your hours read and
hear a good story!
August 28 is the first day of school! Parents who are dropping off
are asked to do so as close to 8:10 as possible; students may begin
entering their homeroom at 8:00. Please make sure to check the bus
routes for updated pick up times. Students should be at their
designated stop at least 5 minutes before their scheduled time. The
lunch price for this year will be $2.50; $3.50 for adults wishing to
enjoy a fine meal in the middle of the day.
Incoming kindergartners are invited to ride the bus to school on
Tuesday, August 27. The bus will leave the town hall at 9:00 (am
class) and 10:00 (pm class) and students with a parent will be
greeted at the school. After a 45-minute stay to get acquainted, the
bus will return to the town offices. All incoming first grade
students may visit their classroom from 11-11:45 on that same day.
The PTO will be hosting the Back to School Barbecue on Wednesday,
September 11 at 5:00. Carpooling for the event is suggested as
there is limited parking at the school. After everyone is well
feed, families are encouraged to meet the teachers and tour the
school as part of the annual Open House.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back; enjoy what remains of
the summer!
