Greetings!
Happy April to you! The days are getting longer, and thankfully, a bit warmer. Time to get out and about visiting people, taking in local exhibits, and breaking bread with one another.
And, on the Calendar, you can do some of each!
Have a wonderful week.

 | Thank You!
|  What a great turn-out for the 4th Annual PTO Auction! Thank you to EVERYONE who came to bid. Thank you to EVERYONE who helped to plan and bring the whole evening together.
All in all, over $7,000 was raised in this year's auction. In a community of 657 folk, in a time when budgets are tight we raised more than last year! The bulk of this will fund various PTO programs throughout the school year, and help directly with the 6th Grade Graduation. The remainder will be put towards the students goal of owning a community greenhouse. Yes! We already have about a dozen folk and/or donations for next year's Auction! For auction details, contact Joy Birdsey. |

| Library Exhibit
|  Region 15 of the United Federation of Doll Clubs display is at the Olivia Rodham Memorial Library. Many thanks to Jacqueline Roland and the Tuesday story time group for helping to get all of the dolls and characters displayed.
The library is sponsoring a traveling Doll and Book Exhibit. Each doll in the exhibit represents a book, including favorites such as "Corduroy", "Berenstain Bears", "Arthur", "Curious George", and "Snow White". There are close to 100 dolls in this exhibit.
The purpose of the display is to stimulate interest and educate, especially young people, about the wonderful world of doll collecting.
The exhibit will be on display throughout the month of April.

| Meals on Wheels Update & Pot Luck
| Susan Ashworth, Director of Community Relations of Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services, will meet with interested residents and pot-luckers on Thursday, April 7th, at 7:00 pm in the Melville Hall of the Nelson Congregational Church.
Susan will update the community on the progress of bringing "Meals on Wheels" to our neighborhood. While the budget situation for human services in New Hampshire has deteriorated considerably, the need for such a program steadily grows. Therefore, HHSC is currently working on proposals for services for next year, but the word from the Department of Health and Human Services is for less funding than last year for Meals On Wheels in the face of rising gas and food costs.
We invite you all to attend this special 1st Thursday Pot Luck Supper for April so that we can all put our heads together and come up with possible solutions. The Pot Luck begins at 6:30 pm.
