Letter

 

Continuing with Ron Paul # 2:

The establishment is doing its best to make sure you don’t hear about Ron Paul’s record and views, so I want to take a moment to tell you what he stands for.

 

You see, I firmly believe that the more you know about him, the more you’ll realize there really is only one true constitutional conservative candidate for President in the 2012 election.

 

He believes that the federal government should not be doing anything that is not specifically authorized by and enumerated in the Constitution.

 

You might hear some other folks say something that sounds like that. But look at their records. Don’t take my word for his record, get on a computer and check out all of their records. Ron Paul is the only candidate (excluding Herman Cain) in the race who can say that he has never voted for an unbalanced budget or an increase in the debt ceiling. He vows he will never sign one as President. My next letter will list what his priorities will be if elected President.

Valley Artisans Artist For The Month

 

The Artist for this month is Rachel Brown. She is a designer and sewer of her own line of handbags. She designs her own patterns and on some handbags she has used a material that she makes from yarn fibers and recycled fabric.

 

Every month we have a Free Raffle and this month Rachel has donated a small colorful clutch handbag for this raffle. The clutch is made of her unique fabric made from yarn fibers. We are now on Facebook. There you can see the raffle item and much more about the shop so "friend" us today.

 

On the first Thursday of every month we have a jury, and this month we have welcomed three new consignors to our shop:

 

David Emerson is an artist in Wood Working, he specializes in Shaker style pieces.

 

Liz Corregan is a Potter, who makes a line of large coffee mugs, with city scape etchings on them.

 

Sandi Reed has joined our many knitters who create wonderful scarves and mittens for the up coming cold weather, she has children’s sizes too.

 

We want to welcome these three new consignors to Valley Artisans.

Go to www.nhopendoor.com, where you can get all the information you need to make for a fun weekend, or just a one day shop and ride.

Epsom Public Library

 

Are you concerned about identity theft and consumer fraud? On Wednesday, November 9, at 7:00 pm, AARP volunteer Bonnie LaBrack will present a program explaining how to recognize, avoid, and report common scams. As the home page of AARP tells us, "Being informed is your best defense against the many scammers and fraudsters who are out to rob you of your hard-earned income. They’re sophisticated and sneaky and can trick even the smartest folks." Attendees of this program will learn how to spot scams and how to refuse and report them.

 

Ms. LaBrack, a former forensic accountant, will discuss fraud geared to the elderly, investment fraud, Medicare fraud (and why a lot of it doesn’t get reported) as well as various scams. "People need to learn how to protect themselves and their hard-earned money. Knowledge is power," she said.

 

If you are interested in attending the program, you may sign up at the front desk of the library.

 


 

Thanksgiving Is Coming

And So Is Our 50 / 50 Raffle

 

Please help Loudon Food Pantry make this a successful Thanksgiving Holiday for those who can’t make it happen for themselves and their families.

 

We support Belmont, Canterbury, Chichester, Epsom, and Loudon!

 

50 / 50 Raffle

 

Because our clothing and household programs are on hold (due to lack of space), we decided to hold a 50 /50 Raffle. In this type of raffle, the winner does not receive goods but will receive half of the ticket sales. We thought this would help out with holiday expenses.

 

Raffle Dates: Starts November 1, 2011 and ends December 15, 2011. Ticket Prices:50¢ each, 5 for $2.00 10 for $3.00.

 

You can purchase your tickets at the pantry located at 30 Chichester Rd. in Loudon on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm or Wednesday from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm. We will also have an order form on our website at www.LoudonFoodPantry.org starting November 1, 2011.

 


 

Thanksgiving Boxes

 

Each year we give out over 120 Thanksgiving Boxes to households that would not otherwise have a Thanksgiving meal.

 

This year we are handing out Thanksgiving Boxes the week of November 14, 2011. We do this so our patrons have time to safely defrost their turkeys for the holiday. Because we will be closed the week of November 21, 2011 our patrons will be given enough food for 10 days (which includes their holiday dinner). Doing this puts an additional strain on pantry resources but we don’t want our patrons to go without food that week.

 

All donations that will be put into our Thanksgiving Boxes need to arrive at our pantry on or before Friday November 11, 2011. We are normally closed on Fridays but are making an exception due to the holiday. If your donation is received after that date, we cannot guarantee that it will be used in a Thanksgiving Box. Any donations not used in a Thanksgiving Box will be used for our normal distributions.

 

Items needed for our holiday boxes are: Turkey (whole or breast), Cranberry Sauce, Canned Yams, Turkey roasting pans, Turkey Stuffing (in the bird), Boxed cakes and frostings, Puddings and Jello, and Turkey Gravy, canned.

 

The following items we are hoping to get fresh (if funds and donations allow) and need to be purchased during the week of November 14th to make sure they are in good condition for the boxes. If you can help with these items, please call us at (603) 724-9731 so we can make arrangements for pickup or delivery: Apples, Bananas, Squash, Carrots, Onions, Potatoes, and Dinner Rolls.

 

What food we don’t receive will need to be purchased. We are short on funds and need donations to make this happen. All donations, small and large, will be helpful and greatly appreciated. Gift cards to Sam’s Club or Wal-Mart are great as well.

 

Donation and Contact Information

If you can help, please mail or drop off donations to: Loudon Food Pantry, 30 Chichester Rd., Unit D, Loudon NH anytime Monday, Tuesday and Thursday between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm or Wednesday 10:00 am and 6:00 pm. Please make checks payable to Loudon Food Pantry. If you cannot make it during these times, please call (603) 724-9731 to make alternate arrangements.

 

Food Drives

Are you planning a food drive for us? Please call (603) 724-9731 and let us know. We are servicing five towns out of a small space and handing out food Monday – Thursday. Letting us know in advance will allow us to be prepared to receive it – even if it’s on a Friday or Saturday.

 

Thank You!

We would like to take a moment to thank all of our volunteers and donors for all you have done. All your help and hard work has allowed us to provide enough food for 52,677 meals in 2011 (so far). Without you, this would not have been possible.
