New England Patriots Charitable Foundation Donates $100,000 In The Names Of 2012 Myra Kraft Community MVP Award Winners

16 New Englanders Honored At Gillette Stadium At

The 2012 Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards

Ronald Joy Of Concord, NH Wins Third Prize Award Of $2,500 For

Rise Again Outreach.

 

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Volunteers are the backbone of nonprofit organizations. The Kraft family and New England Patriots Charitable Foundation’s Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards place a spotlight on those who give their time to help others and exemplify leadership, dedication and a commitment to improving their communities through volunteerism. In 2011, the Kraft family and New England Patriots Charitable Foundation announced the renaming of the awards as part of the "Celebrate Volunteerism" campaign in honor Myra Kraft’s example of being a lifelong volunteer.

 

On June 13, 16 honorees were recognized for their contributions in a ceremony at Gillette Stadium and received grants for their respective nonprofit organizations. Ten New England organizations were presented with $2,500 in honor of their volunteers’ work with five more receiving grants of $10,000 and one grand prize winner of $25,000.

 

"Volunteers are the unsung heroes of our nonprofit communities," said Robert Kraft. "Unfortunately, they often go unrecognized for their contributions. These awards give us a chance to thank and recognize them. What I love most about this event is the touching stories and the opportunity to show a small token of our appreciation to these outstanding individuals."

 

On hand to congratulate the award winners was Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft, New England Patriots Charitable Foundation President Joshua Kraft, Pro Football and Patriots Hall of Famer and Patriots Executive Director of Community Affairs Andre Tippett, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski and punter Zoltan Mesko.

 

Ron Joy of Concord, NH was one of ten $2,500 third prize winners.

 

"I am honored and humbled to be counted with those who grow rich by freely giving to others. Volunteering means investing yourself in a cause that is greater than yourself, and realizing that it is more blessed to give than to receive," said Joy. "Being selected in honor of Myra Kraft is meaningful, as her lifetime legacy of valuing family, faith and philanthropic service reminds us to press onward and share the benefits of volunteering with others."

 

Joy has volunteered his time to support people in NH through free food, clothing, personal care items and services. Known as ‘the guy with the bus,’ he is passionate about bringing the resources people need directly to them. He has never cancelled a mobile bus stop and has served nearly 10,000 people in need.

 

"This is an exciting moment for our organization, to have one of our volunteers, Ron Joy, selected by the Kraft family as a recipient of the Myra Kraft Community MVP Award," said Bill Pelletier of Rise Again Outreach. "Ron exemplifies the selflessness and faithful service that helps our organization live up to its mission, and we are pleased at the opportunity to highlight his work in our community. This award will help our all-volunteer organization maintain its mobile pantry buses and warehouses for the coming year."

 

The 2012 MVPs represent all six New England states and a variety of nonprofit organizations. Nominations open each spring and for the most up-to-date information, visit www.patriots.com/community.

 


 

Tickets Going Fast For You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown

Pittsfield Players DocsIn_IMG.JPG

The Doctor is in when Lucy Van Pelt (Kali Mara) psychoanalyzes Charlie Brown (Sean Bonin) during the upcoming production of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown at The Scenic Theatre June 28, 29, 30 and July 1. For tickets call 435-8852.

 

Tickets are going fast for this week’s presentation of You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown by the Ann White Northwood Theater Workshop. The show will run at the Scenic Theatre, 6 Depot St., Pittsfield, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 28, 29 and 30, at 8 pm, and again on Sunday, July 1, in a matinee performance at 2 pm.

 

Tickets, which are $15, can be reserved by calling 435-8852, One dollar of every ticket sold will be donated to the American Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, as well as any proceeds from refreshments sold at intermission.

 

This show marks the last presentation by the Ann White Northwood Theater, who merged with the Pittsfield Players at the Players’ Annual Meeting on June 10.

 

The Northwood Theater Workshop was founded by Ann White in 1979 in order to bring theater to the Northwood Community. Over the years, the group produced and performed over 60 musicals and dramas, as well as children’s theater workshops and improv theater nights. Just last month, on May 30, Ann White passed away in Australia. A plaque in honor of her legacy will be hung in the lobby of the Scenic Theatre to commemorate her tremendous contribution to local community theater.

 

"You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown" takes us on a delightful musical spin through the world of Charles Schultz’s beloved character Charlie Brown, and all of our favorite Peanuts characters, as they celebrate Valentine’s Day, Beethoven’s Birthday, kite flying, the final game of the little league season, glee club practice, a book report, and many other daily events. During this series of musical vignettes, Charlie Brown and crew are a microcosm for the challenges we all face to do the right thing, overcome obstacles, work together, accept our differences and ultimately learn to accept and love ourselves and our neighbors. This revised version of the original show contains a few new songs and a newer, light rock feel to some of the songs, but old favorites such as The Book Report, You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown and Suppertime are still included.

 

The show features Sean Bonin as Charlie Brown, with Tony Pfaff as Linus Van Pelt, Emily Lawson as Sally Brown, Kali Mara as Lucy Van Pelt, Elijah McTigue as Schroeder, Matte Lindsey as Snoopy, Fiona Mara as the Little Red headed Girl, Sarah Harkness as Violet, Joey Edmonds as Pig Pen, Zack Davidson as Shermy, Nick Davidson as Woodstock, and a group of Woodstock’s feathered friends who include Andrew and Alex Chiavaras, Jack Harkness, Piper Mattice-Collins, Katie Edmonds and Halah Abdelwahid.

 

The show is directed by Geraldine Veroneau, who is also the musical director and accompanist, and is produced by Carole Neveux, who is also acting as stage manager with help from Zack Davidson, Joey Edmonds and Fiona Mara. Kate Mara is in charge of costumes, assisted by Emily Lawson, Ernie Bass is the lighting designer and Justin Hartley will be in the lighting booth running the lights. The set design is by Geri Veroneau and Kate Mara, and has been built by master carpenter Steve Lawson, assisted by Dr. Kevin Mara and Sean Bonin, Emily Lawson, Matte Lindsay and Kali Mara. Mike Hobson has designed the poster and the program, and Nella Hobson will act as House Manager.

 

Call The Scenic Theatre at 435-8852 now for tickets for this wonderful presentation, and enjoy an evening of family entertainment with the Ann White Northwood Theater Workshop and the Pittsfield Players.

Letter To The Editor

 

To the good citizens of Pittsfield:

In the June 20th Suncook Sun, Merrill Vaughan writes how we need a committee to pick our next fire chief.

 

This is the old way of doing things. The new way of doing things is we let our Selectmen hire and choose our next fire chief. Don’t worry, they are not going to waste money doing it.

 

Remember in March the Town voted the entire budget in, then at the end of the meeting, the voters voted to cut $125,000 to stabilize our tax rate. (Maybe the Concord Monitor could do an article to determine if we still have the highest tax rate).

 

Merrill, do you realize we might possibly not be the highest tax rate in the State anymore? Get used to a budget that doesn’t add to the tax rate anymore. We finally found the key to holding down our tax rate.

 

The key for Pittsfield is vote everything in and then cut the budget to reflect a stable tax rate. It worked this year and will probably be the model going forward. Who in their right mind would not vote for a stable tax rate?

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the voters who made this happen and the great Board of Selectmen for carrying out our orders.

 

Dan Schroth Piermarocchi

 


 

Letter

 

To the poor needy soul who took my turquoise "grill" planter off my front porch.

 

You ripped off a disabled senior citizen. All you had to do was ask and I would have made one for you. You are probably the same person who stole my kayak and rain barrel. You know, you low class citizen, I live on a very tight budget of $600.00 a month after once working for The Vice President and General Counsel of PSNH. GET IT? It is not easy for me to purchase these things. I literally have to save for these extras.

 

So while my heart is breaking, scouring the town searching for my lost dog, you are stealing from me. I will pray for you, you are indeed a needy soul.

 

Just in case you have a small piece of heart left, the grill was $10.00, paint $5.00, potting soil $4.00 and seeds $1.50. By the way, you have orange narcissus growing in the "grill." You can send a money order for $20.00 to 8 Green St. #5 c/o PLANTER. You can also reimburse me for the kayak.

 

I’d like to thank all the GOOD people of Pittsfield who assisted me in my search for Cricket and offered help and support. Beverly, Jen, Belinda, Anne, Jay and Beth, all the kids I’ve come to know at the park and especially Eric. Bless you all. She was found after four days. I’m sure Saints Frances and Anthony were protecting her.

 

In Gratitude,

J.Rowe
