Encountering Congressional Candidate Lily Tang Williams at a recent fundraising event and after hearing her very compelling story of overcoming communism to arrive in our great country where she has the freedom to pursue representation of District 2 citizens in Congress, I found that despite her petite stature, she is a real spitfire dedicated to […]
May the Christmas Season bring only happiness and joy to you and your family. Let us look forward to a more prosperous 2024. On January 3 and January 4, 2024, the New Hampshire House will be in session, and we hold open the possibility of January 11, if needed. There were about 200 bills that […]
Thank you so very much for including us (The South Danbury Church) in the Beacon for November! We’re continually surprised and delighted by Andover friends and new friends who mention seeing our news, and who attend our events because of The Beacon.

Louise Andrus provides us with her “View from Concord” on a monthly basis in The Beacon. I found her August View to be somewhat of a contradiction on a number of levels. She states that she is now taking some Constitution classes (I hope not with PragerU) and provides her interpretation that both the New […]
Imagine being able to cook up a big batch of your award-winning, homemade chili, and selling it right from your residence, or having the ability to sell your signature cheesecakes or pumpkin pies!
