REMINDER
The
Prospect Mountain High School Class of 2020 is hosting a shoe drive
fundraiser. All collected shoes will be delivered to developing
countries, such as Ghana, Bolivia, and Haiti. These shoes are sold
at significantly lower prices and create working opportunities.
The
sophomore class is profited with every pair of donated shoes. Our
goal is to collect 300 bags of 25 pairs each. Shoes must be wearable
and have no holes.
Please
donate in any of our white cardboard donation boxes stationed at the
Alton Town Hall, the Barnstead Town Hall, or in the reception area
at PMHS. The fundraiser is currently taking place and will run
through January 20th.
Please
spread the word around the community. All donations are helpful and
are greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact
[email protected] with
any question or concerns.

Letter
To The Editor
I want
to make sure our community knows that there is a very active
Democratic Committee in our area that represents the towns of
Barnstead, Gilmanton, and Alton. The group is comprised of
left-leaning residents from those three towns, both Democrats and
Independents, who are working hard to mobilize in support of
progressive values.
The
meetings are typically the first Monday of every month at 6:30 at an
alternating site in one of three towns. Come to the meetings to
listen to the dynamic guest speakers, to take part in activism, to
coordinate long-term planning, or just to commune with other
like-minded people.
To get
on the email list and be notified of upcoming meetings and actions,
email [email protected].
Strength in solidarity!
