Letter To The Editor


Dear Editor,
On December 16th Mrs. Ward and her Advisory of the Pittsfield School District came to sing a variety of Christmas songs and visit with our family at Vintage Hill. The program was incredibly well organized, the students a pure delight, and the songs simply joyful. Additionally, an absolutely beautiful homemade craft wreath was presented as a keepsake for our home, which will be enjoyed for many years to come.


How thoughtful of you to take time out to spend with us, and what a wonderful time we had. Many thanks, from all of us here at Vintage Hill to all of you for your selfless act of kindness – it truly made our day! 


Most Sincerely,
Our Family at Vintage Hill, LLC

Submitted By Lynne Joyce
Pittsfield Area Senior Center Director
The Pittsfield Area Senior Center an agency of Elder Services of the Community Action Program Belknap-Merrimack Counties, Inc. extends a great big thank you to all who purchased tickets to our Christmas Food Basket Raffle.  The winning ticket was purchased in Concord. This family won a vast assortment of shelf staples, a $20.00 gift card to Shaw’s Supermarket and a 22 pound frozen meat package from Danis Supermarket here in Pittsfield. 


The proceeds of this fundraising effort purchased the gift card, the frozen meat package, and a Christmas Holiday Volunteer Appreciation celebration for twenty-five. The Senior Center in tandem with local couple purchased 30 fleece throws, the Country Quilters Club in Barnstead donated gorgeous quilted placemates and the Women of the local Congregational Church put up little Santa pouches of Candy. All of these items along with donated items from PSNH and presents from an anonymous donor in Concord were put together in a bag for each of the 30 Meals on Wheels recipients throughout Barnstead and Pittsfield.  The balance of the funds collected, has been donated to the Pittsfield and Barnstead Food Pantries.


This effort was a tremendous blessing for all of us who participated. Thank you all.

Veterans - Do You Know Your Benefits?


Twenty-six million Americans are military veterans. They’re men and women who have earned benefits because of their service and sacrifice.


Yet, too many American veterans don’t know what their benefits are - or how to claim them.


Are you a veteran who needs to find out about your benefits? Are you getting what you earned by your service? Do you need help with a VA claim?


If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to talk with American Legion Department Service Officer, Gary W. Wayman. He is ready to help you - at no cost.


Contact: Gary Wayman, by calling (603) 222-5784.


If you’re a veteran - if you need answers about your earned benefits - you owe it to yourself to pick up the phone and make the call. The American Legion, Department Service Officer, Gary Wayman is ready to help you. Call him at (603) 222-5784.


Helping veterans is what the American Legion is all about. We’ve been doing it since 1919. How can we help you?

 


 

Letter


This has been a challenging year for Kenny, Katie and I. Losing Ken was the worst nightmare you can imagine. The community of Pittsfield has wrapped us in their arms and keep us in their prayers and we are truly blessed.


Christmas morning was tough. It was not only the Holiday, but would have been Ken’s 46th birthday as well. A lot of tears were shed and our thoughts were far from worrying about what we got for presents.


My daughter brought in a Christmas card addressed to me that she found on her car in a baggy. The anonymous sender wrote a beautiful note that deeply touched our hearts. They also enclosed a generous gift that is greatly appreciated.


God Bless You, our angels. Just knowing that Ken’s memory lives on every day in the hearts of others is very comforting. People don’t know what to say when they see me sometimes, because they don’t want to upset me. Words are not always necessary. A hug, a smile, a pat on the shoulder help us all.


My heart is full of sorrow and pride at the same time. Pride for the man Ken continues to be in the eyes of others, pride of my two wonderful kids who I love so much it hurts and pride of living in this wonderful community.


Thank you all once again. Thank you also to our fantastic family and friends for your unending love and support, I don’t know what we would do without you all.


Tina, Kenny and Katie Piaseczny.

 


 

2009 Christmas Tree Lighting and Children’s Store


On Sat., Dec. 5, The Greater Pittsfield Chamber of Commerce kicked off the Holiday Season by sponsoring the annual Children’s Store and Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration.


The day started with the P.E.S. PTO sponsored Breakfast with Santa. Many families enjoyed the pancake and sausage feast.  The First Congregational Church hosted a craft fair during the day too.


The much anticipated Children’s Store was held at the P.E.S. Gym from 9- noon.  The Store is for “kids only” to purchase new or “nearly” new items.- mostly priced at .50 each.  Thanks to the tremendous help of over 65 volunteers (acting as elves, gift wrappers, or crowd control) close to 150 kids were able to shop for their families.


We are constantly collecting items for The Store (including gift BAGS and wrap). Please keep us in mind when you are doing your “after Christmas” shopping and cleaning out!


The festivities moved to Dustin Park later in the afternoon.  Bruce and Stacy Locke provided horse and wagon rides, Phil Joyce and family provided Holiday music, the Fire Department delivered Santa via fire truck and he posed for free photos with all the kids. Bob Legg took photos of anyone willing to ham it up in the “Holiday” cut out scene (thanks to the creative talent of Judy and Ray Webber!). The photos were then posted on the town website and could be downloaded.  PYW sponsored the annual Gingerbread House Display and Raffle and hot soups and chili could be picked up inside too.  Free hot cocoa, cookies, and candycanes were provided (thanks to members of the Park St. Baptist Church, Women of Rotary, CHF, 4-H Club, and So. Pittsfield Com. Club).


Many thanks to the Pittsfield Youth Workshop and the Park St. Baptist Church for allowing people to come in and warm up.  PYW housed the pictures with Santa, the Gingerbread House display, face painting, hot food items and decorated wreath contest.  The Park St. Baptist Church housed the cookies and cocoa.  Thanks to all the helpers in the kitchen and to those that helped pass out the treats too.


A decorated wreath contest was held and winner by popular vote was Paula Driscoll.  She won a Holiday Gift Basket donated by Northway Bank.


The Blue/Gold Star Mothers joined the celebration, providing stars with military member’s names to be added to the Tree. Thank you to Lea Adams for organizing this wonderful tribute. Dot Hardy and members of the Advent Christian Church and local Brownie and Girl Scout troops led everyone in singing many carols.


At 6 p.m., we counted down and the Tree was lit. (Many Thanks to the “official” tree lighting and decorating committee). Louie Houle, Bill Provencal, Ed Vien, Dave Hartley and Fuzz Freese string and test all the lights. The Tree and Park look very festive – THANK YOU!  Immediately following the tree lighting, an awesome Fireworks display (thanks to an anonymous donor) lit up the sky over Drake Field.  It was a great way to end the day and the 2009 Holiday Season was underway!


This annual event takes many, many volunteers from local groups, churches, town departments, family and friends.  Thank you to all who helped to make it a great day.
