Thank you and June Events

Hello to you all-
Many thanks for helping us to have a successful election for our new board!  I am very pleased to have the opportunity to work with such a diverse and qualified group of people.
Our meetings will be held on the first Monday of every month at 6:00 at the E F Lane Hotel.
(June’s meeting will be on the 7th.)
Don’t forget!  Wednesday June 2nd is the Cheshire Democrats night at the Community Kitchen.  4:30 until 7:00 P.M.

They do ask in the summertime that we follow their dress code;No shorts or sleeveless shirts and shoes. It is a terrific way for us to help out with an ever growing need in Keene.
If you are able to help out, please let us know!
