Else
Cilley Chapter,
NSDAR
July Meeting
At the
July meeting of the Else Cilley Chapter, NSDAR, speaker and Nevers’
Band member, Deborah Lincoln of Danville, New Hampshire, presented
the program, “Historical Gigs of the Nevers’ 2nd Regiment Band.”
Mrs. Lincoln shares one of her photos with member, Peg Franz of
Rochester, and Norma Perkins of Nottingham in the background during
the presentation.
The
July meeting of the Else Cilley Chapter, NSDAR was held in the
Nottingham Square Schoolhouse in the midst of a New Hampshire heat
wave. With fans humming, members and guests enjoyed an indoor
“picnic” lunch with cool beverages, chips, fresh fruit and angel
food cake.
Following lunch and the opening ritual, speaker and Nevers’ Band
member, Deborah Lincoln of Danville, New Hampshire, presented the
program, “Historical Gigs of the Nevers’ 2nd Regiment Band.” Mrs.
Lincoln shared several historical events taking place in New
Hampshire at which band members were fortunate enough to be in
attendance, with a “bird’s eye view.” The 100+ year old band
performed at such events as the dedication of the battleship USS
Alabama and the 1905 signing of the Russo-Japanese Pease Treaty,
both taking place in Portsmouth, NH. They played at the dedication
of Tram II at Cannon Mt. and at Christa McAuliffe Day in August 1985
on the State House Plaza. Photos of these and other historic events
were passed during the presentation.
During
the business portion of the meeting, Vice Regent Jan Gilman read the
President General’s Message from the July/August Supplement to the
American Spirit magazine, chairperson Peg Franz gave a National
Defense message, minutes and correspondence were read, and the
treasurer’s and chaplain’s reports were given.
American History, American Indian, Conservation, Constitution and
Flag spot announcements were read and Campbell Labels and Box Tops
for Education for DAR sponsored schools were collected. Current and
future repairs to the historic Nottingham Square Schoolhouse, which
the chapter maintains, were discussed.
The
Else Cilley Chapter of the DAR works with the State and National
Societies to promote historic preservation, education, and
patriotism. The chapter’s next meeting will be held at the
Nottingham Square Schoolhouse, Ledge Farm Road, Nottingham, NH on
August 22nd beginning at 1:30 pm. The program is “Patriots in
Petticoats” presented by quilter Barbara Corson and members of the
community are welcome to attend. For a full list of Chapter meetings

Northwood Drive-In Movie Night
The
Northwood Advent Christian Church is hosting another in its series
of summer community events with a Drive-Inn Movie Night Saturday,
August 17, 113 School St. This event is free and is open to
everyone. It will start at 7:45 pm with cartoons and comedy and the
main feature will start around 8:15 darkness permitting. The feature
film will be “The Blind Side,” a great flick for these summer days!
This
film is based on a true story. Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) knows
little about family. Less about football. What the homeless teen
knows are the streets and projects of Memphis. Well-to-do Leigh Anne
Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) knows little about his world. Yet when she
and Michael meet, he’s found a home. And the Tuohys have found
something just as life-changing: a beloved new son and brother. This
real-life story of family and of Michael’s growth into a blue-chip
football star will have you cheering with its mix of gridiron action
and heartwarming emotion. Share the remarkable journey of the
college All-American and first-round NFL draft pick who was a winner
before he ever stepped onto the playing field. Rated PG-13. Approx.
129 minutes.
Free
popcorn, refreshments and drinks will be provided. You can watch
from your car or bring a blanket, or lawn chairs to watch from the
lawn (don’t forget bug spray). If weather is bad all will be held
indoors starting at 7:45 pm August 17.
Letter
To The Editor
For the
first time in awhile, I have a few minutes to respond to something
other than School Board issues. Two letters caught my eye and I want
to respond to them.
The
first one argues that “corporations are not people.” That is an
extreme liberal talking point that is saying therefore a corporation
should not be able to influence elections with their money. Of
course that same person would argue to infinity that it is alright
for unions and Planned Parenthood to spend their members money on
elections. Both are, in my opinion, made up of a bunch of people. If
“corporations are not people” then neither are unions and other such
groups.
The
other letter extolled the virtues of government. I cannot think of
one thing that our government does adequately, let alone well. The
Post Office needs hundreds of millions of dollars in bailout money
quarterly and should be disbanded. We have so abused Social Security
by using the money collected to curry favors from those who should
have no right to it that we now expect our children to pay for our
retirement. Sick! Since the Federal Government really got into it
our education system has deteriorated to where many third world
countries do a better job. Medicare and Medicaid are so rife with
corruption that they are always near insolvent. Welfare has created
a huge class of people who see no reason to work. Government cannot
protect our borders, hell they can’t even win a war. We haven’t won
a war or non-war since World War II. Our country is circling the
toilet and in my opinion Government and those that we have elected
to do our business are to blame. Ten years of not voting in nitwits
and lawyers would help lots.
