Sandy’s
B Buddies, Sandy Burt, of Barnstead, and her team will be hiking Mount
Major, again this year. Our team has raised over $5000.00 in the last 4
years and we are challenging ourselves to do well, again, this year.
Sandy has been hiking since 2005 when she finished her treatments for
breast cancer. She is hiking, not for herself, but for all other
survivors and people undergoing treatment. The advancements in treatment
in the past few years are dramatic, but we have to keep up the fight.
Dr. Peter Kaufman, Sandy’s oncologist at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical
Center, continues to do important research that will help people
undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
We hope you will join us and
enjoy the view of Lake Winnipesaukee from the top.
Thank you, in
advance, for your support.
Mahoney To
Speak At Celebration of 1st Anniversary Of Barnstead-Alton
Republican Committee (BARC)
The Barnstead-Alton Republican
Committee (BARC) will hold their next monthly meeting on Tuesday,
October 13, at J.J. Goodwin’s Restaurant (upstairs), 769 Suncook Valley
Rd. (Rt. 28), Center Barnstead, (603) 269-8300. Dinner (at your
option) is at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Now that
both GOP candidates for Congress from the 1st District (Bob Bestani and
Frank Guinta) have addressed members of BARC, the focus now turns to the
US Senate race. Following US Senator
Judd Gregg’s announcement that he will not seek
re-election in November 2010, three Republicans
have stepped up so far to announce that they are
exploring running for Senator Gregg’s seat.
BARC is pleased to
announce that Republican National Committeeman Sean Mahoney will be the
guest speaker at the October meeting. A native of Portsmouth, NH, Sean
is the President of Millyard Communications, Inc. and the Publisher of
BusinessNH Magazine. In addition to serving as National Committeeman,
Sean has also served on the GOP State Finance Committee, including a
stint as the Finance Committee Chairman. Sean has published a series of
op-eds in recent months regarding healthcare, the economy, and the
future of the Republican Party. He’s “looking forward to coming and
seeing friends in the area and talking about a few things the GOP needs
to do to resurge.”
In addition to hearing from Mahoney, the agenda
also includes:
• BARC’s 1st Anniversary Celebration!!
• A
legislative update from our State Representatives in attendance
• An
update about the Concord State Representative primary win by Lynne
Blankenbeker and the upcoming “special election” on Nov. 3
•
Identifying and supporting local candidates for the Nov 2010 elections
All area Republicans are invited to attend the
celebration of BARC’s 1st anniversary since its
founding last October. Meetings are somewhat
informal, offering a great opportunity for the
townspeople of Alton, Barnstead, and surrounding
towns to learn about BARC, to meet other
like-minded citizens, and to share in this
celebration of a true grass-roots organization.
For more information, please send an
email to
[email protected] or visit the BARC website,
