Pembroke Academy Boys Lacrosse Alumni game will be held at 6:00 pm on Friday, June 15th at PA. Alumni cost to play is $10, all proceeds benefit the Matt Couture scholarship fund. For more information please visit http://www.pembrokeacademylax.com/.

 


 

The Chichester United Methodist Church’s summer hours will start June 17th. There will be no Sunday School until September, and the Sunday Service will begin at 9:00. Come and join the fellowship on Sunday.

 


 

The May 30 Memorial Day Observance went well in spite of the showers. There were about forty people in attendance including six Cub Scouts and their families. Being inside made it easier to hear with traffic going by, and the rain let up enough so that everyone could go outside at the end of the program to see the Cub Scouts place the wreath. Many thanks to all who participated.

 


 

Please remember to plant an extra row in your garden to provide the Chichester Food Pantry with fresh produce this summer.

 


 

Save the afternoon of June 23 for Chichester Grange’s second Penny Sale. This one will include "Make your own Sundaes" to provide fun for you and additional money for the Heritage Commission’s Windows Project. Place: Grange/Town Hall. Time: 2-4 pm for placing your tickets and making your sundae. Tickets will be drawn beginning at 4 pm.

 


 

The Chichester Historical Society would like to thank everyone who donated items for or who participated in their recent Yard Sale. The sale was very successful, raising over six hundred dollars for the Acquisitions Fund. The money will be used for the purchase of Chichester items to be added to the museum collection.

 


 

Chichester Grange will meet on Wednesday, June 20, at 7 pm upstairs in the Grange Hall.

 


 

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News

Submitted By Carol Hendee

 

I learned a new word yesterday. There was an article in the paper about yard sales and one of the words used to describe things for sale was "tchotchkes." Now I know what a lady means when she comes in and says "what kind of new "totskis" do you have? Now I know she means little collectibles! We have lots of those!

 

The yard sale people did come through as we have many new items donated by people who just did not want to bring the unsold back into their house. Thank you so much for lots of nice things to recycle and reuse.

 

Father’s Day is June 17th. It’s not how much you spend on a gift, but the fact that you remembered. We have nice golf shirts, regular tees, coffee and beer mugs, and a few items that will make him know you remembered.

 

We are in the yellow (still don’t get that one) Blueberry Plaza, on Route 28 in Chichester. We are open Mon. 8-12, Tues. and Thurs. 8-4, Wed. 11-4 and Sat. 10-4. You can call us at 247-7191.

 


 

Chichester Grange News

 

Chichester Grange met on June 6th upstairs in the Grange Hall. It was exciting to see the refitted windows on the west side of the room and in the kitchen. The sash weights have been reattached and the windows actually open easily and stay up without the use of window sticks.

 

Alice Hilliard reported on a successful Memorial Day Observance with about 40 in attendance. Being inside because of the rain may have taught us something about cutting down on traffic noise, providing seating with minimum effort, and avoiding insect bites.

 

Plans were made to hold a second Penny Sale on June 23. This one will be in the afternoon and include "Make Your Own Sundaes" to provide additional revenue. Frekey’s Dairy Freeze has offered to donate two tubs of ice cream and Grangers will bring in their favorite toppings. The Historical Society has donated a box of appealing objects that did not sell in their yard sale to add to the penny sale tables.

 

Wildlife sightings included goldfinches, cardinals, a fox, wood chucks, wild turkeys, a deer, a hawk, and turtles. Plans were made for watering the flower tubs at Memorial Park from June through September.

 

Kevin Belval presented an interesting program based on a 1969 newspaper found in the wall of a room in his home. From clippings he brought in and some research he had done, members were able to compare "then" and "now."

 

At the next meeting, June 20th, members will finally make the annual donation to Heifer International and choose a site for the July Eat Out. Future activities include fair exhibits and a float for the Old Home Day Parade.

 

Refreshments after the meeting were provided by Ruth Hammen. Members enjoyed brownie sundaes with great delight.

 


 

Best of luck to Elizabeth Stock and her new mount, Whiteout, in the upcoming show season. Elizabeth Stock is the daughter of Martha and Stephen Stock of Chichester. Elizabeth will be riding her new horse Whiteout, a registered Morgan, in the walk/trot division at various shows throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts. They will both continue their training and showing under the direction of Joanne Galvin of Deer Run Farm in Pittsfield, New Hampshire.

On Wednesday, June 20th at 7 pm the Garden Club will meet at the Chichester Town Library to discuss Survival of the Fittest: What is the Most Hardy Plant in Your Garden?
