The Annual Meeting
and Luncheon of the New Hampshire Chapter was held once again at the
Manchester Country Club in Bedford on November 10, 2001. Everyone thoroughly
enjoys the venue, with its central location in the state, and the food is
always excellent. We look forward to returning there for years to come.
While the members' business meeting was going on, the spouses and friends
were treated to a slide presentation on the story of the NH coast from 1623
to the present day, by Wendy Lull, Executive Director of the Seacoast Science
Center at Odiorne Point in Rye. We were honored to have U.S. Representative
John E. Sununu as our guest of honor and speaker. He also presided
over the installation of the newly elected officers and Board of Directors
of the Chapter. A record turnout of 257 members and guests dined on
a delicious choice of Grilled Salmon or Pecan Chicken. A highlight
of the luncheon was the raffling of a special TROA motif quilt, handmade
by Marilyn Follansbee, wife of Herb Follansbee. It was won by Ruth Whitely,
a guest of Damon and Helen Kenison. The proceeds of the raffle raised
$642.00 for the Chapter's Scholarship Loan Fund. Another $50.00 donation
was made to the Scholarship Loan Fund by Marti Gorham, who donated a portion
of the profits from the sale of her book, Carpets of Clover.
We were joined by thirteen first time members: Urban Bobseine of Rye,
Roland and Mary Inez Demers of Manchester, Bud and Jane Fortier of Gilford,
Karen

Volunteers Wanted
The Chapter is looking for a few volunteers
who can donate a few hours of their time each month. Specifically,
the Chapter needs a recording secretary for the Board of Directors and a
Public Affairs Officer. Other positions are available also. If
you are willing to step up to the plate, please contact Paul Bernard by e-mail
at pbernard@attbi.com, or by phone
at (603) 229-1334. The more volunteers we have, the less work we each
have to do, and the more we can accomplish!![]() |
Veteran’s License Plates
The State is now issuing the new Veteran’s license
plates. You can obtain them during the month that you normally renew
your registration and there is a one-time charge of $30.00 over the normal
registration fees. There is no additional charge for renewals.
At the present time, veterans must show a copy of form DD-214 as proof of
honorable service to obtain the plates. This is required by State statute.
There are many veterans who were discharged before form DD-214 came into
existence and the Department of Safety is working with the Legislature to
resolve this problem. |
