Chichester Grange meets only once during the month of January. This year the meeting will be on Wednesday, January 21, and will begin with a Soup Supper at 6 p.m.
 



A good plan for young people this time of year is to be outside until the winter clothes are soaked and then come inside and read while they dry. The Chichester Town Library has added the following titles to the shelves in the Children’s Section: Winnie the Pooh’s Christmas Stories, Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner, Just as Well, Really by Jillian Harker, Arthur Meets the President by Marc Brown, and Alvah and Arvilla by Mary Lyn Ray.
 



The Chichester Town Library is sponsoring a free parenting workshop on January 15, 6:30-8:00 PM at the Chichester Central School, on the topic “Stormy Weather: Dealing with Everyday Stress, Anger, & Conflict”. The presenter will be Thom Linehan, an experienced family educator from UNH Cooperative Extension. The workshop will feature insights into child behavior and offer a variety of strategies for predicting, preventing, and working successfully with challenging behaviors. Babysitting will be available for children 3 years old and up, while parents attend the workshop. For more information, call 798-5613 or 225-5505.
 


 

Letter


I would like to thank all of those who helped me with my food drive. It was wildly successful, bringing in over 200 items that went to help both the Chichester Food Pantry and the Friendly Kitchen in Concord. A big thank you to the Chichester Youth Association and its members for allowing me to collect food at their event. Another large thanks to the Millville 4-H Club who donated food and cookies to help my project. Last, but definitely not least is Donna Chagnon, volunteer coordinator of the Food Pantry; she was a big help in letting me know how I could assist my community. Once again, thank you all very much for your support and help, your donations went to many local people who are in need.

Letter To The Editor

 

Dear Editor,
As I’m sure many have, for years I’d read horrifying stories about our children in NH being physically or sexually abused, neglected or simply abandoned by their parents or other care givers. It angered and frustrated me at the same time. “Someone needs to do something about this,” I thought, “someone needs to stand up for these children and protect their rights”.


It was not until I heard about and researched an organization called CASA that I realized that the “Someone” could and should be me! CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) are a group of highly dedicated volunteers who as “Guardians ad Litems speak for the children involved in these cases. I became a volunteer and entered a period of my life which has been challenging, rewarding and tremendously enriching…I am a CASA!


CASA volunteers come from all walks of life. We are doctors, mechanics, retirees, farmers, housewives, etc., but we all have one thing in common: a love for children and an understanding that a child has every right to a safe and healthy home. It’s not all that time consuming - many of us work full time jobs. Most of our duties can be scheduled around our convenience.


Currently we are having a drive to increase the number of male CASA volunteers by one hundred. Although the number of children we serve is about equal by gender, only twenty percent of our volunteers are male.


Next time you find yourself angered and frustrated by news of a child being abused or neglected, I ask you to think back to this letter and step up to become an advocate for these, our children. Please check out our web site, www.casanh.org. Thank you for your time.


John St. Laurent
