A write-in candidate
I am seeking re-election to the Budget Committee as a write-in candidate. My roots to this area trace the arrival by my grandparents in 1924 to spend summers on Lake Sunapee.

“There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away” I am running for Library Trustee because Emily Dickinson’s words are still true today. Books are great!
