Do
You Believe?
I
Believe In Santa!!!
Secret Santa is once
again coming to the Town of Chichester. The Chichester Police
Association is proud to announce again this year, they will be
sponsoring “Secret Santa.” We will start talking applications
November 13, 2017 through December 15, 2017. We only take
applications for Chichester residents.
Sorry to say, we no
longer take donated items of any kind. Fortunately we have been
financially sound in the past to allow continuation of this
wonderful venture.
Monetary donations are
always welcome, and volunteers to shop and wrap are always needed.
Checks should be made out to “Chichester Secret Santa.” Should you
have any questions or wish to volunteer, please call 798-4911, speak
with Chief Clarke or Donna.
The Chichester Girl Scout
Troop 51640 will be at the Chichester Fire station, 22 Main Street

those whom don’t want to wrap. We just ask for a donation. No items

Chichester Town Library
News
The library wishes
everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving. It is a day for family,
friends and neighbors. The library will be closed both on
Thanksgiving Day and Friday, the 24th. The library will be
open on Saturday, November 25th, for its regular hours, 9 a.m.-12
noon.
The library wishes to
announce the selection of Jacqueline Heath as our new Library
Director. Ms. Heath has been involved with library and
education services for her career and brings a lot of experience
with her. We’re sure the townspeople and users of the
Chichester Library will welcome her with open arms. She will
be a great addition to the legacy of those who have served in that
position before her. You can expect to see her at the library
around December 4th. Welcome, Jacqueline!
A special thank you goes
out to the library staff who have gone above and beyond during the
time we were without a Library Director. Thanks to Mardy
Friary, Sharon Pinckney and Diane and Abby Rider for all of their
efforts.
A note of appreciation to
the Chichester Central School which is donating a Christmas tree in
the memory of our departed Library Director, Lisa Prizio, to the
Bektash Shrine “Fez-tival of Trees,” at 189 Pembroke Road, Concord,
NH. This year, the students will be decorating their tree with
handmade ornaments, in memory of Lisa. The children at the
school very much appreciated Lisa’s visits to the school and her
helpfulness at the Library. The Fez-tival runs from Nov. 18th
through the 26th. Raffle tickets are purchased for the
various trees, which are then awarded to the lucky winners.
Reserve December 15th, at
7 p.m. on your calendar for our annual Pontine Theatre presentation
at the Grange. This year’s “New England Christmas” includes a
paper theatre version of Ogden Nash’s poem “The Untold Adventures of
Santa Claus,” a story-telling, toy theatre rendition of “Christmas
in Our Town,” a reminiscence by Alice Van Leer Carrick, and a puppet
play based on Kate Douglas Wiggins’ charming tale, “Old Peabody Pew:
A Christmas Romance of a Country Church.” As is their custom,
Pontine Theatre Co-Artistic Directors Marguerite Mathews and Greg
Gathers unveil a selection of original adaptations of seasonal
stories and poems by noted New England authors. These programs have
always been a welcome addition to Chichester’s holiday
celebrations.
Don’t forget, there is
still time to come to the library and purchase a gift certificate
from the Down Under Book Store for that special gift and/or stocking
stuffer for the holidays.
