On Saturday, March 22, 2025 a Wellness Center 2.0 – Revitalization Brainstorm will be held from 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. at the Colebrook Academy & Elementary School cafeteria at 27 Dumont Street in Colebrook, NH. A complimentary light breakfast buffet of donuts, muffins, coffee, bottled water & fruit will be available for attendees, courtesy of The Community Builders Hub.
Those interested in revitalizing the former North Country Community Recreation Center (NCCRC) in Colebrook, are encouraged to attend, to take an active part in forming committees and new board leadership, as well as a fresh vision for the concept for the facility, based upon community needs and interests. Discussion tables will focus on the following: Services offered/Activities, Affordability, Fundraising/Grants, Operations, Marketing, the Building/Facilities, and Partner Businesses/Organizations.
“This is a clean slate for the facility and an exciting opportunity for the community to shape the future of the space. We are looking to “hand over the keys”, to a group of new (NCCRC) board members, to carry it forward,” noted Brian LaPerle, Chairperson for the NCCRC. Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital is aiming to be removed from being the sole member of the North Country Community Recreation Center, which operates as a non-profit 501c3 corporation, and hopes to find new leadership to steward the project. New stakeholders have been sought out, and more are welcome to join the conversation.
A brief survey has been created for community members to share their input. It is encouraged to fill this out in advance of the meeting, so those in attendance have feedback to consider while making plans. Those wishing to attend on the 22nd, please RSVP by March 18th here. A Facebook event has also been created to share updates for this meeting. Any questions or comments may be directed to Brian LaPerle at 603-237-1457; brian@northerntire.com.
