Andrea Riel Receives Circle Of Gold Award
Submitted By Corine Miller

Andrea Riel is congratulated as this year’s recipient of the Circle of Gold Award by Sharel Giroux, Secretary and Judyth Perreault, President of NH Circle of Home and Family.


Andrea Riel received the Circle of Gold Award for outstanding community service at the NH Circle of Home and Family Conference held in Nashua, NH. She is a 15 year member of the Pittsfield CHF Club. Andi was greatly influenced to join CHF by Gram Ruth Kimball and mother-in-law Corine Miller, both former Circle of Gold winners. They told her how she’d learn “everything about the home & family - cooking, decorating, gardening, health issues and more and that the group was very much like 4-H, but for grown up women.


Andi’s not one to just join, she’s a doer! Right away she started volunteering for refreshment committee, program leadership and helping in any way she could. The energy and enthusiasm she brought to the group was delightful. Her leadership skills were quickly recognized by the members and soon she was voted in as Chairperson, a position she has held for nearly  10 years. The membership is very diverse with three age generations and different interests. Andi takes this all in stride and has a very pleasant mannerism to keep everyone involved and happy. Andi participates in country and state events as an officer and regular attendee at workshops and conferences. She writes news articles about club events for the CHF state newsletter “Our Voice”, The Suncook Valley Sun and Concord Monitor - where she is the town wide coordinator for Pittsfield news. Under Andi’s leadership the CHF performs many community service projects such as making book bags and curtains for the library, adult size bibs for a nursing home, greeting cards, table decorations and raffle baskets for the Senior Center and children’s craft day during Pittsfield’s Winterfest.


Andi was chosen as Pittsfield’s Citizen of the Year in 2003. It was said that “she is one of our most dedicated, talented and enthusiastic people serving on so many committees helping in any way she can, helping us all.” Other community involvements include co-chair Pittsfield Old Home Day Committee, secretary Greater Pittsfield Chamber of Commerce, member of the After School YMCA Advisory Program, secretary Pittsfield Alumni Association and key organizer for the 2002 and 2010 PHS All Class Reunions, co-chair and treasurer of PHS Class of 1984 reunion committee, past  member of the Pittsfield Budget Committee, co-chair of the Christmas Children’s Store, co-organizer of the Town-wide Yard Sale and co-chair and chair of Relay For Life for many years raising over $250,000.


Someone once said, “There are born volunteers and those who have to learn to become one.” Andi Riel has proven to be one of those born volunteers; one who has helped many people come to understand the importance of volunteering. Thank you Andi for the hundreds of hours you give of yourself as a valued volunteer and leader.
