development organization creating jobs and housing for low-income

Kentucky banks to provide subsidized financing housing for low-income
families in Central Appalachia and founded Forward in the Fifth, the
first education advocacy organization dedicated to building common

Recap And Photos- Moose Mountain Area Democrats Daylilies & Democrats Event
This past weekend Moose Mountain Area Democrats hosted their annual Daylilies & Democrats
get together in Brookefield. The weather that day was wet and dreary for most of the day, which hampered turnout, but everything seemed to clear up once the event was to start and the sun actually came out later on. The Daylilies are a dreamlike firework show that would dazzle just about anyone, but the real stars of the event are the people who attend each year. There is a lovely buffet and more delicious, food than you could ever eat. The Hilary, Bernie, and O'Malley campaigns were there and each only spoke briefly, which was fine. Two other speakers that were great crowd pleasers were the always energetic Carol Shea Porter and the witty John R. White. Both kept their addresses short and to the point. If you missed the event this year, don't fret, it is held around the same time each year, so plan ahead and save the space on your 2016 calendar. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Strafford Democrats Hosting 1st Annual Flag Day Picnic-June 14th
From the Strafford Democrats:
We have also provided more information below for
convenience in ordering tickets and a link to the Kitz Farm website.
When we visited there today to install a sign announcing this event on
the 14th, George Kitz was cutting his fields for hay production. One of
the most beautiful locations in town and maybe beyond. You can decide
by clicking on the link.
Our own Chaz Proulz
will provide the musical entertainment, including a song he wrote years
ago about Guinta's $355,000.00 legal problem. Chaz will likely be
joined by two additional musicians to accompany him.
Hope the additional information below is helpful and you will support this - hopefully - first annual Flag Day Picnic.

Tri Town Democrats Honors Dinner
Farmington, New Hampshire - February 15, 2015
- The TriTown Democrats, representing the Democratic Committees of
Farmington, Milton, and New Durham, are hosting their second annual
TriTown Honors Dinner on May 2, 2015. The gala event will begin at 6:00
PM on May 2, 2015 in the Farmington Recreation Center, 531 Main Street.
Last
year, the TriTown Democratic Committee decided to host a TriTown Honors
Dinner in order to spotlight some of the amazing folks who live in our
communities The honorees dedicate their energies and efforts to make
our communities better places to live, work, and raise families. The
first honorees of the awards were Ron Chagnon of Farmington and Leo
Lessard of Milton. Both men served our communities well by holding
local, county and state offices. After the success of that first
dinner, the committee decided to make the TriTown Honors Dinner an
annual event that would recognize a member of each community for the
good work that individual has done to enrich the quality of life in our
towns and surrounding communities. While the TriTown committee
represents a loose organization of three Democratic Town Committees, the
TriTown Dinner is a non-political event, and the honorees are selected
for their philanthropic work and community service, not for their
political affiliation. Everyone is welcome and invited to attend the
dinner. The buffet meal will include, vegetarian lasagna, baked chicken
breast, and roast beef, with scalloped potatoes, and side vegetable
choices. Salad and dessert are included.
The
honors for this second annual event will go to three very deserving and
well known community members. The Farmington Committee selected Dottie
Bean to receive the second Honors Award for Farmington. The Milton
Committee selected to honor Victor Joos for his contributions and the
New Durham Committee will honor Cathy Allyn for her continuous work to
support the New Durham community.
Tickets
for the event are $25.00 per person, with the bring a friend cost of
two for $45.00. You can reserve your tickets online at http://goo.gl/forms/9ewKIHZZWZ,
or by sending your reservation check to TriTown Honors Dinner, PO Box
637, Farmington, NH 03835. Please include your email address, the
number of tickets you want to reserve, and your choice of sponsorship,
if applicable. Indicate whether you will mail a check or pay at the
door. We will email you a confirmation and tell you your ticket number.

To set the stage and provide some critical background information, Jeff McLynch of the NH Fiscal Policy Institute will do a short presentation and be available to join the conversation. Jeff is very knowledgeable of the complexities of the NH Budget and the budget process so is an invaluable addition to the conversation, being able to answer many questions that we, as the general public, probably do not know.
We respectfully request that you pre-register for the event by going to this link: http://goo.gl/forms/ Nnv0EUilU8
The budget process for NH is underway. The Governor has proposed her budget. The NH House of Representatives has proposed their budget that most believe to be irresponsible to the people of NH. The budget process has now crossed over to the NH Senate. It is important that Granite Staters have some knowledge of this process, of the proposed cuts and know what action they may be able to take during this critical part of the cycle.
A petition was presented to the House on 4/1/15 with over 800 signatures. It is not too late to add your name: Petition Text: We call on members of the state House & Senate to pass a responsible, balanced budget that protects taxpayers without sacrificing the essential programs and services New Hampshire families and communities depend on for our health, safety, and quality of life.

Organizers/Donations Needed-SCDC Yard Sale-Saturday May 9th, 10-2
Dear Strafford County Democrat:
1. Please find a large cardboard box, one that is sturdy and will hold a lot of things.
2.
As you go around your house, your shed, your barn, your garage etc.,
put things in the box that are interesting, in good condition and useful
to someone.... but not you.
3.
Specifically these things can be new, elderly or antique. They can be
tools, dishes, collectible items, jewelry, fancy hats, kitchen
appliances and utensils, books, office supplies etc.
4.
Think about putting small pieces of furniture like small tables,
interesting chairs, lamps (floor and table), paintings and prints,
picture frames, art, umbrella stands, fancy flower pots, lacy linens
next to the box which is getting quite full by now.
5.
On or about May 1, bring what you have collected, old snowshoes, useful
athletic equipment, lawn furniture to 23 Boston Harbor Rd., Dover Point
NH to Caroline French's house, the site of the yard sale. This yard
sale will benefit the Strafford County Democratic Committee — their projects, our candidates and your goals.
Come back and spend a few hours helping Caroline sort and price things May 1-8. PLEASE join the yard sale committee as a lead organizer…email Caroline below. If you have any sheets of old computer labels, please bring them for price stickers.
Things not to bring:
- Leftovers from your own yard sale
- Things that are broken and beyond repair
- Clothes, except for shoes that are almost new and things like leather aviator jackets. New straw hats that you bought and thought you liked but don't would also work. The same goes for small luggage, purses, baskets and the like.
Then
on Saturday, May 9, come back and help us run the best new yard sale
ever in Strafford County. We will have a grill and hotdogs. Sign on to
bring chips, ice cream sandwiches and peanuts in the shell. This sale
will run from 10 to 2 and a rope will be across the end of the driveway
and there will be no early birds no matter what.
- We also need worker bees after the sale at 2pm to help clean up and haul away. Our goal is to make enough money to help elect Democrats throughout all Strafford County in 2016!
Thanks ahead of time for helping to make this important fundraiser and recycling event successful.
Strafford County Democratic Committee Ex Com,
Ann, Susan, Lorraine, Bill, Dennis, Paul, Gene, Mike, Elise, Caroline
