Northwood Farmer's Market
|
Northwood's first Farmers Market was a
resounding success.
|
Northwood's first ever Farmers Market was a great
success. Residents and passers-by on busy Rt. 4 the day before the
4th of July enjoyed the fruits (and vegetables, and chickens, and
eggs and on and on...!) of our local farms and businesses, music,
and a real sense of community.
The next market will be August 7th, so keep your
eyes open for notices.
We plan three more for 2008 and a full weekly
schedule for summer and fall 2009.

Else Cilley Chapter D.A.R.
The Else Cilley Chapter D.A.R. in Nottingham
hosted a successful Antique Appraisal Program on June 21st at the
Historic Nottingham Square Schoolhouse. Mr. Dan Olmstead gave many
appraisals and told stories of good and bad purchases and how the
antique business is changing.
Former Regent Barbara Frangione helped with the
genealogy for several people who were interested. Soups, sandwiches,
drinks and desserts were offered for sale and the day was considered
a success.
The regular meeting was called to order at 1:10
p.m. and the usual business was discussed.
A flag flown over the Washington, D.C. Capitol
was obtained by chairman Jean Lane from Senator Sununu and given to
the Cornerstone Christian School by Susan Masison.
There was discussion about the correct procedure
when the flag passes by, as in a parade, and when singing the "Star
Spangled Banner." After searching the Internet, it was stated that
at both times, the right hand is placed over the heart; if a man is
wearing a hat, he removes it and places his hand over his heart;
service men and women salute; and a new law passed in 2007, all
veterans salute to show that they have served.
The next meeting will be held on July 23rd at 12
p.m. This is the Annual Picnic Lunch, bring a sandwich or salad.
Dessert and punch will be served. Rebecca Shoup will talk on her
visit to the Galapagos Islands. Visitors and prospective members
welcome at the Old Schoolhouse on the Square.

An Update For Non-Members
In 1992 the Northwood Lake Watershed Association
was formed to preserve and protect the quality of Northwood Lake and
its surroundings for the collective interest for lake users. Since
then our activities have included the monitoring and treatment of
the ever present milfoil in our lake, water quality testing through
the Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP), invasive screening
through the Lake Host Program, as well as providing educational
resources to our members and the lake community at large. Membership
is is open to anyone who has an interest in the lake. You don't have
to live on the lake to join. Annual dues are $20 per member ( a
member can be an individual, family, business or organization). Your
money will go to things like milfoil treatment, annual lake
vegetation survey and water quality testing programs.
Join us at the Northwood Town Beach on July 19.
