Chesley Memorial Library To Hold Book Signing


The Chesley Memorial Library will host a book signing for “Our Written Voices” on Saturday, May 15, at 2:00 p.m. Susan R. Edgerton created “The Written Voice” on CafeMom in May of 2008. “The Written Voice” is a featured writing group on the popular website for mothers, CafeMom, www.cafemom.com. Established in May of 2008, “The Written Voice” welcomed writers and readers alike and is comprised of passionate, talented, and supportive women.


In late September of 2009, it was decided to publish a book of the group members’ original works (poems and short stories). During this time, the members all worked diligently to polish their work and get it ready for publication. They decided that donating the proceeds from the sale of their book to a charity would be a wonderful idea so they nominated different charities, giving reasons why the charity they chose would be best suited. They derived a poll and everyone voted. The non-profit organization entered by Paula G. Rockwell, David’s House, received the most votes, and thus became their chosen charity. Much the same way the charity was chosen, (by nominations and voting) the name “Our Written Voices” became the title of their book.


Paula G. Rockwell will be representing the group as a co-author at the book signing. A representative from David’s House (located in Lebanon, New Hampshire) will also be at the book signing as a promotion for families in the area that may one day need their services. The person representing David’s House is Jaye Olmstead, who works specifically with fundraising events. The profits obtained from the sale of “Our Written Voices” will be used to support David’s House, a non-profit organization that helps house families with critically ill patients in the hospital. They are thankful that the library is very involved with the community and always helps to promote local authors.


Book Details: Publisher: CreateSpace, Publishing Date: 12/14/2009, ISBN Number: 78-1449901103, Number of Pages: 248, Genre: Short Story Anthology/Fiction, Book Proceeds Charity, Book Print List Price: $11.34.

Northwood Area Land Management Collaborative

Hires New Outreach Coordinator

The Steering Committee of the Northwood Area Land Management Collaborative (NALMC) announced recently that it has hired a new Outreach Coordinator. Julie Klett, an experienced communications and outreach professional, joined the Collaborative in April. The part-time position has been funded by a generous grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.


Julie Klett is a naturalist with a strong background in natural science, natural history and conservation biology. She has more than 15 years of professional experience in media and public outreach in the non-profit and commercial arenas.


“We are fortunate to have found someone with Julie’s experience and professional connections. She will really help us spread the word about NALMC,” said Carl Wallman, NALMC Chairman. “Her primary responsibilities will be to reach out to and communicate with area landowners to inform them of our projects and encourage their participation. Our slogan, ‘working together across our stone walls,’ expresses our core values and we look forward to working with Julie to accomplish them.”


“NALMC is a dynamic and passionate group dedicated to increasing landowner awareness of the Northwood area’s natural resources,” said Klett. “I believe in what they are doing and can’t wait to help them make a meaningful and lasting impact in our own backyards.”


Klett will continue and expand on the outreach work begun in 2009 which is based on a comprehensive Ecological Assessment of the Northwood area. The Assessment provides an overview of the ecology, culture, and recreation within the NALMC focus area, including: natural resources and historic sites, recreation areas, watersheds, wildlife habitat and more. It also provides guidelines for action.

 
“The Ecological Assessment is a key starting point to become more familiar with the NALMC neighborhood,” said Klett. “Everyone can benefit from a common understanding of the wildlife, woodlands, waters, and other features of our local landscape.”


Klett’s education includes a Bachelors of English and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of New Hampshire, as well as coursework in conservation biology, natural history (including wildflower identification, invasive plant identification, and vernal pool ecology), web development and social media marketing. She volunteers for the Pittsfield Conservation Commission and the New Hampshire Children in Nature Coalition, and is a member of the New Hampshire Center for Non-Profits, New Hampshire Audubon, and the New Hampshire Orchid Society.


The NALMC neighborhood encompasses 4,000 acres of unfragmented public and private lands, the headwaters of the Lamprey River and is a watershed divide between the Lamprey River and the Merrimack River This unique public/private partnership includes: the N.H. Fish & Game Department; the N.H. Department of Resources & Economic Development; the town of Northwood; Coe-Brown Academy; the University of New Hampshire; as well as approximately 25 private landowners.


To learn more about NALMC  or to become a participant, contact Carl at 435-5209 or [email protected], or visit our website at: www.nalmc.net
