Lois Booth Memorial: In preparation for the memorial service for Lois at the UU Church on Saturday, November 9th at 2:00 p.m., Friends may enjoy visiting https://loisbooth.wordpress.com/ [2]. This site offers a wonderful look back into Lois' life. A reception at the church follows the service. A word of encouragement to new friends who did not know Lois in her active years: Please attend this memorial. You will not regret it and you will gain valuable insights into the importance of this lovely exemplar and mentor to many.
Mass Incarceration, Nov 16, 1:30 p.m.: Learn more about mass incarceration and its increasing use to handle societal problems. Why incarcerate? Is it effective in reducing crime? Is it the best choice? Are we safer?
Richard Van Wickler, Superintendent of the Cheshire County House of Corrections, an engaging and highly recommended speaker, will discuss this and answer your questions. He is a 26-year veteran of the US Army, and lectures on Justice Studies topics at Keene State University and the Community College System of NH. He was appointed in 2003, at a time that the Cheshire Count Jail faced significant litigation in Federal Court and revitalized the agency.
