Are you interested in maintaining our rights to self-government, the rights of nature and the subordination of corporate privilege to the rights of the community?  Do you have an interest in building sustainable communities by assisting people to assert these rights?  If you are, or think you might be, come meet Gail Darrell from Barnstead, the New England Community Organizer for the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), on Wednesday, July 17th, at 7:00 pm at the Northwood Community Center, 135 Main St. in Northwood Narrows. Gail led the organizing campaign to pass the CELDF-drafted Ordinance in Barnstead, New Hampshire, creating the first in the nation law banning corporations from withdrawing water in a community.

The program is presented by the Northwood Democrats. Everyone is welcome to attend, no matter what your party affiliation might be.  You can read more about CELDF on their website at http://www.celdf.org/index.php.

Saddleback Mountain Lions Club

On June 25th, Saddleback Mountain Lions Club held its regular monthly meeting at the Northwood Congregational Church on Route 4.

In spite of recent setbacks in membership, new leaders were elected for the following year which are as follows: president - Ellis Ring; secretary - Bill Lounsbury; treasurer - Dave Linden; director: Judy Lounsbury.

With less than 20 members, it will be difficult to support all the programs of the past 30 years such as free eye testing of pre-schoolers to prevent blindness in our youth; eye glasses & hearing aids for the needy; seeing eye dogs for the blind; support for Camp Pride - NH’s only camp of its kind for the blind, juvenile diabetics & handicapped children; winter outing for the blind; student scholarships; International Peace Poster program.

The club has built a 2,000 ft. 10’ wide trail in the Meadows State Park, which is handicapped accessible.

Many of you have enjoyed walking this trail to the pond on a regular basis. If you would like to join this club & help us help others, please contact the club’s secretary, Bill Lounsbury at 942-8511 or if asked by a lion… say yes!!!!
