Save the Date: Sunday, November 24th at Hannah Dustin Monument

Hannah Dustin Monument, Boscawen NH

We will have a private preview this Sunday after our Potluck of the new film on Hannah Dustin.  We will learn more about the stories around her murder and scalping and the Abenaki people, commemorated by the nearby monument.

This film has just been created by the Cowasuck Band of the Penacook Abenaki People.  They have carefully researched how the story has been told and what historical data is available.  It will be a useful lesson in how history is told and used over generations.

Solemn Vigil for a Cease Fire in Gaza

Ceasfire Vigil

Thursdays at Noon (except 28th November)

The silent vigil for a ceasefire in Gaza continues every Thursday from Noon-1 p.m.  The vigil meets at the (Northwest corner of) North Main Street and Park Street in Concord on the plaza in front of the State House. Make your own sign, use one provided, or just stand in silent witness besides others.  This is done in coordination with NH Peace Action.  We suggest that people make signs that convey something about justice for Israel and Palestine.  Also please avoid the word genocide, ethnic cleansing, and similar terms.

Financial Reports

Here are the links to the Statement of Operations and Balance Sheet that were presented on Sunday.  Please note that the heading for column one of the Operations report reads Jun 24-May 25.  This is due to a software limitation.  It should read Jun 24-Oct 24.  The overall report heading is correct.  Major differences in the Balance Sheet from last month show an increase to our assets due to the purchase of the solar array, a new short term loan liability to reflect the financing, and the elimination of our prepaid electricity account which was also part of financing the purchase.
