“Take-Aways & Think-Abouts“ - Larry Brown #MiltonNH


2-23-2020 MILTON CANDIDATES FORUM

“Take-Aways and Think-Abouts“

-- Larry Brown



It was a good chance for us - Candidates and Public - to talk about real issues in a back and forth discussion.  Thanks to Chris Jacobs for his work as moderator.   Some offices are uncontested; others open by write-in.  Volunteers are still needed to create community and sustain local democracy.  (Case in point - we had no one to record that meeting.)  Volunteer.  You will get more than you give. The Voters Guides for School and Town will be out soon. Look for them.

Leo Lessard Memorial Blood Drive- December 22 10 AM – 3 PM

Saturday, December 22, 2018 at 10 AM – 3 PM
Celebrate life and make a difference by giving blood. Leo was the recipient of multiple transfusions through the spring and summer of 2017, giving him more time to enjoy life and to spend time with his loved ones.

 Leo was always giving back to his community and to the people around him. He gave back not only with his lifelong dedication to helping others through politics but also with his genuine kindness and concern for everyone around him - he was never too tired or busy to help someone in need. Leo's time here would have been lessened had it not been for the blood transfusions he received. He was able to continue to contribute to his community as well as spend time doing the things he loved, such as boating on Milton Three Ponds in his antique crisscraft boat and spending time with his loved ones.
