The Goffstown Edge

New Boston Food Drive

I know this is a little hard to read, but you know what?  If you pick up a copy of the September New Boston Bulletin, you'll have the original, all nice and easy to cut out and stick on your fridge!  So please do that, and thanks to the NBB once again for allowing me access to their cool stuff.

Halloween Happenings in New Boston

I know you can't read this- I didn't enlarge because you can easily find the whole spread on page 19 of the October New Boston Bulletin. The New Boston Bulletin is available at Dodge's Store, the Whipple Library and Sully's in Goffstown. There's a lot going on so pick up a copy, clip out this page, and post it on your fridge. And don't forget to drop off your candy starting October 18!

Great Story in the July New Boston Bulletin!

Pick up a copy of the July Issues of the New Boston Bulletin, available at Dodge's Store and Sully's Supermarket.  Page 30 features a wonderful story by Judy Keefe on the installation of a 500-piece ceramic tile mural honoring the Piscataquog River.  Created by the Artist In Residence Program at the New Boston Central School, the mural now hangs on the side of the Charlie Buck Barn at the 4-H Youth Center.  The pictures are terrific, the story is terrific, and the mural is amazing.

New Boston Library Opens May 5th

Once again the New Boston Bulletin presents the public with an exceptional feature story, this time written by Eric Seidel, Chairman of the Library Trustees in New Boston.  The article- New Library Opens May 5th- is a wealth of information about the entire process that established the wonderful new library in New Boston.  Beginning right on the first page of the May edition, I strong urge the community to pick up a paper and read this feature story.  You'll learn a lot, discover some things that might surprise you, and I'm sure you'll have a deeper sense of civic pride.  The New Boston Bulletin can be found at Sully's, most local gas stations, and all the supermarkets on Mast Road.  Do yourself a favor and make the monthly New Boston Bulletin a part of your news routine.

New Boston Bulletin

 

In this month's New Boston Bulletin there is a touching and informative story about Christmas in Iraq, written by former New Boston resident CW2 Emily LeClair, US Army National Guard NH.  You can find the story on page 14, and I strongly urge residents outside of New Boston to grab a copy of the New Boston Bulletin at the supermarket before they are all gone, and settle in to read.
