Angelina Milano of Center Barnstead has been named to the Becker
College, Worcester, Mass., Dean's List for the 2007-2008 academic
year.
Letter
I would like to thank all the people who served
on the Locke Lake By-law Committee. These people have given up every
Wednesday morning since October and worked very hard. They are
Barbara Krilivsky, Rita Wolfe, Dot Chiccola, Judy Cropper, Joanne
MacNeil, Mike Ranaldi and Deana Cowan.
A
miscommunication between the Board of Directors and the By-law
Committee exists. The By-law amendments from the lawyer had only
been seen by Board President Mike Ranaldi, the administrator and
myself as chairman of the By-law Committee. No meeting of the
committee had been held to accept any changes or recommendations. In
earlier discussion the committee decided the entire revisions of the
By-laws should be reviewed by all Colony members. It should have
gone in its entirety with the mailing for input from all members
before a final vote. The Board of Directors has recommended the
amendments from the lawyer, not the By-law Committee as they have
never seen them and therefore cannot recommend them.
Thank
you,
Peggy
Gingras

Letter
We wish to impress upon the members of Locke Lake
Colony the importance of the annual meeting and most importantly the
proxies. Please fill out the proxy and give it to someone who is
going to attend the meeting. This way your vote is cast as you
direct that person to vote for you. The reason for this is if you
leave or mail the proxy to the office, the Board of Directors can
use your vote any way they wish. The proxy must be verified by the
office on or before July 21, 2008 to be accepted.
The so called budget presented to members of
Locke Lake Colony by the Board of Directors in its mailing is not
acceptable. There is no vote on the proxy for the budget. It has
always been a line item budget. No budget should be accepted without
line items. This is our money and we alone decide how it should be
spent not the Board. Many expenditures have been spent without
members' knowledge. A line item budget is necessary for the
operation of the Colony. All members have a say on all expenditures.
Therefore, we recommend this budget not be approved for the good of
the Colony.
Does the Board think we will not care enough to
stay and vote for the lines we want? Members have a right to
request, in writing, a line item budget and profit and loss
statement from the administrator to be returned in 5 days.
Mr. and
Mrs. Edward Cropper
Mr. and
Mrs. Raymond Gingras

`Love
Makes a Family' Is The Theme To This Traveling Exhibit Of All
Kinds of Families
The exhibit contains 20 portraits and a write up
of each family. The exhibit includes; adoptive families, foster
families, divorced families and step-families, single-parent
families, multiracial families, families dealing with illness,
families living with physical challenges, families living with
mental illness, families living with developmental disabilities,
lesbian-and gay-parented families, interfaith families,
multigenerational families, and immigrant families. The exhibit gets
right to the heart of the matter, of what children think and feel
about their families and loving partners. The literature is also
written for elementary school aged children so they can learn about
these families.
This exhibit contributes to the process of
dismantling the destructive power of prejudice and intolerance, thus
making the world a safer place for all people. It is about humanity
and love. This exhibit will be at the UCC, Congregational Church of
North Barnstead located on 504 North Barnstead Road, Center
Barnstead, NH 03225.
There will be an open house to view the exhibit
on July 11th, 18th, and 25th from 7-9 p.m. If you cannot make it at
these times, please call Katie Whiteman at 776-5306 to schedule an
appointment. Bring your school, your family, and your friends. All
are welcome.

Deadline For MVSB Photo Contest Is approaching
Submit your photos by August 1, 2008
Don't miss your opportunity to participate in
Meredith Village Savings Bank's 2008 Photography Contest! All
entries are due by the close of business on Friday, August 1,
2008.
This year, MVSB is taking its annual photo
contest to the internet. In addition to submitting entries for
MVSB's 2009 Community Calendar, local photographers can also vie for
the chance to have their photos displayed on the bank's website at
www.mvsb.com.
As in past years, amateur and professional
photographers are invited to submit photographs that capture the
character and beauty of Belknap, Carroll and Grafton counties as
well as conveying some aspect of community/family life, such as
community events, landmarks or seasonal pastimes. Photos featuring
local landscape scenes are highly encouraged - especially for the
website.
Winners of the calendar contest will have their
photographs featured in the 2009 MVSB Community Calendar, to be
distributed free-of-charge to the community, and photographers will
be awarded a $50 U.S. EE Savings Bond for each photo that is
included in the calendar. Winners of the website contest will have
their photos featured as the homepage banner photo that appears on
the homepage of the bank's website.
Photographers may enter both the calendar and
website contests but separate entries must be submitted for each
contest. In addition, the required format for website entries is
very different from the format for calendar submissions so please
read the submission requirements for each type of entry very
carefully.
Please include a cover sheet with each entry
indicating the following:
-
Which contest the photo is being entered for
calendar or website

will appear in that format.
