Letter


To the residents of Gilmanton:
Thank you for allowing me to be a member of the Gilmanton School Board. I look forward to working with School Board members Phillip Eisenmann, Michael Hatch, Renee Kordas, and Ella Jo Regan, as well as with our school administrators.


It is equally important that we work with and for the community to insure that we maintain the high standards that the school has attained.


I commend this year’s School Board for the fine work that it has achieved. I would like to thank Cindy Hatch and Zannah Richards for their service to our students and community, and am sure that they look forward to “free Mondays.”


Likewise the school administration and the school staff are to be recognized for their outstanding dedication and effort in providing our students with the best education possible.


I also thank the parents and residents of our community for their continued support of our school.


Please come to the School Board meetings to offer your input as your opinions are important.


I realize that there are difficult considerations ahead, and look forward to providing the best input I can in working with my fellow School Board members. I know that we cannot rest on the issues. Hopefully we will do what is best for the students and our community.


Our students are our community, and deserve the quality education that will allow them to be our community leaders of tomorrow.


Thank you for your understanding and support.


Frank M. Weeks

 


 

The Triumph Of Love, The Gospel Of Universalism At The Unitarian
Universalist Church Of Laconia


Rev. Dr. M’ellen Kennedy will preach on the tradition of Universalism on Sunday, April 11, at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia. The service begins at 10 a.m. and all are welcome. Her sermon,  “The Triumph of Love, The Gospel of Universalism,” is an opportunity to explore the older and less celebrated side of the Unitarian Universalist tradition.


Rev. Dr. M’ellen Kennedy, a Unitarian Universalist community minister and community psychologist, is co-founder of the UU Small Group Ministry Network. She lives in Bristol, Vermont where she serves as consulting minister with the Universalist Society of Strafford, Vermont and the UU congregation in Washington, Vermont. Her  sermon on Universalism won the Universalist Heritage Society Sermon award for this year.


The Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia is a spiritually nurturing, socially responsible, open, religious community. The church has been the liberal voice of religion in the Lakes Region for over 170 years.


The congregation was originally organized as the First Universalist Society on July 19, 1838, by twenty-three charter members. Its first meeting house was erected on Union Avenue in Laconia.


In 1867 the Society was reorganized and became the First Unitarian Society. Its new building on Main and Hanover Streets stood as a community landmark and served the congregation until it was destroyed by fire in 1938. The present building on Pleasant Street was dedicated on September 22, 1940; the rebuilt chancel was dedicated June 18, 1944.


After the merger of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America in May of 1961, the congregation changed its name to the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia. The original articles of organization, written for this church in 1838, contained the following preamble: “Liberality in opinion is universally acknowledged...as a generous and amiable trait in the character of the individual; if it gives loveliness to the secular concerns of people why should it not be permitted to add grace and luster to religion?”

 


 

Gilmanton Year-Round Library Looks Ahead 
Submitted By Carolyn Baldwin


Gratified by voters’ support at the March town meeting, the Board of the Gilmanton Year-Round Library met to lay out plans for the coming year.


First and foremost, the Board determined that the Library will continue to deliver the complete menu of services its nearly 800 card-holders have come to expect. The Board plans to continue having the Library open 30 hours a week, however the Sunday opening will depend on getting more volunteers.


Once the Iron Works Library reopens for the season,  Children’s story hours, exhibits by local artists, and events of general interest are scheduled. The board looks forward to increasing cooperation with  the town’s two small libraries to better serve the entire town’s library needs.


The Board also considered fund-raising options, both to allow for expanded services and to reduce the operational costs included in the town’s contribution.   They recognized that, short of a major gift or bequest sufficient to establish a significant endowment. The need for public support will most likely continue.

 
Two fund-raising opportunities were considered and approved. Look for announcements including sale of Natalie’s Coffee brought to us by Matthew Butka; and Mother’s Day hanging flower baskets, created by D.S. Cole and brought by board member Chris Schlegel. As a non-profit organization, the Library must account carefully for money spent and received. To assure proper accounting, the Board has established a protocol for fundraising events and projects. Ideas are welcome as are offers of volunteer assistance.

News From The Gilmanton Recycling Center
Submitted By Justin Leavitt
Solid Waste Facility Manager


How easy is this? All plastics marked #1 through #7 are  now accepted for recycling. You don’t have to separate them by number; they will go into a single bin. The only thing you have to do is rinse them out. Caps cannot be recycled; they must be removed and disposed of in the compactor.


This is a great and easy way to get all that plastic out of the waste stream, and the Town gets paid for it! Gilmanton citizens are urged to spread the news with friends, family and neighbors, because recycling brings in money to help offset the costs of waste disposal.*


We are currently working with Northeast Resource Recovery Association (NRRA) to find a buyer for which is called rigid plastics. These include, but are not limited to, kiddie pools, hard plastic toys and milk crates. With your help we can become a leader instead of always following.


*Remember every ton recycled is a ton less going into the compactor costing the Town money to dispose of, plus we receive revenue from the recyclables. Most importantly, it protects OUR environment.
