DESCRIPTION:The Community Builders Hub\, in collaboration with Canaan Naturally Connected\, have organized an event to be held at the co-sponsoring venue of Mohawk Falls in Colebrook\, NH on Sept. 25th\, starting at 5:30 p.m.  The “Connecting the North Country” gathering is intended to bring community members together for an evening of discussions about common topics of importance for northern Coos County\, NH and bordering communities in northeastern Essex County\, VT.   \n“Our hope is to get a diverse mix of community members together to exchange ideas\, learn about what groups are working on and resources available\, find opportunities to partner on efforts\, engage new participants and broaden our circles to drive positive change\,” said Britni Haley\, Community Steward for the Canaan/Colebrook/Stratford region. \nA social hour will kick off the evening\, with a free buffet of assorted sandwiches and snacks provided courtesy of LaPerle’s IGA. The bar will be open for purchase of beverages and the setting will be prime for viewing fall foliage. A common table to share business cards\, brochures and promotional materials will be available for participating businesses and organizations.  \nFollowing will be a roundtable style discussion. Anyone interested in being a part of positive change in our communities is invited to attend! The evening will conclude with casual conversations around a campfire\, as weather permits. \nThere is no cost to attend\, but registration and selection of topics of interest is required by 9/11/24 by filling out the Google form at: https://forms.gle/UKuhNFKdcU4ukmeQ7.

SUMMARY:Day of Caring in Colebrook
DESCRIPTION:On September 20th\, Granite United Way’s Northern Region Day of Caring will take place in Colebrook\, coordinated in partnership with The Community Builders Hub\, with additional support from The Neil & Louise Tillotson Fund\, White Mountain Rotary and A House to Home Realty. Day of Caring is an annual volunteer event that mobilizes thousands of volunteers to assist hundreds of local nonprofits\, who may have limited capacity to accomplish short-term\, wishlist projects.  \nStemming from community feedback\, three projects will be undertaken for the day: \n\nClean up and planting of perennial flowers at the dummy intersection between A Notch Above Real Estate and the former Howard’s Restaurant. Please get in touch if you have any perennials to contribute from your home gardens!\nBeaver Brook Falls trail clean-up and polyurethaning of benches & picnic tables. The Colebrook Kiwanis Club is a leader on this effort\, as they maintain the park\, but many hands make light work! Anyone able to help remove debris from the trails (and ideally off of the property)\, would be a great help. Please bring a rake if you have one.\nSprucing up the River Walk by removing litter\, cleaning off the storywalk stands and trimming any small encroaching vegetation on the trails.\n\nOrganizers are seeking support from local volunteers to help out with the projects. Why volunteer?  It makes a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. It fosters a sense of teamwork and contributes to building a stronger\, more supportive community.  There will be a morning volunteer shift from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and an afternoon shift to finish up projects from 12-3 p.m.   \nThe day will kick off at 9 a.m. at the Municipal Parking Lot just off of Main Street in Colebrook at the Community Builders Hub tent\, where coffee\, water\, donuts and tee-shirts will be offered to volunteers as they split up into teams to tackle projects.  A complimentary pizza lunch will be available for participants at the Colebrook Town Hall at noon\, as well.   \nTo sign up to volunteer\, please fill out this form. Event contacts are Laura Boucher (Laura.boucher@graniteuw.org) and Britni Haley (britni@thecbh.org). It is recommended to wear gloves and work clothes on the Day of Caring. Day of Caring event details and updates can be found at:  https://www.facebook.com/events/1006428117796670

SUMMARY:Children’s Playgroup in Stratford
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join this fun\, free program on Friday mornings!\nIn talking to community members at events\, parents and caregivers often expressed an interest in having more activities for children 5 & under. The library staff and trustees were more than happy to let us use their recently renovated children’s room for a weekly program and the town gladly offered up use of the pavilion next door\, as well as the park. \nIt’s a great opportunity for both adults and children to socialize and enjoy some fun activities. Mornings start in the library with playtime\, snacktime (bring your own snack) and storytime\, then transitions to active play outdoors.  Inside supplies are available for coloring\, as well as a selection of toys\, and an outdoor bin of toys/sports equipment is positioned at the basketball court for the public to use.  Kids love bringing their bikes to ride on the basketball court\, and we have bubbles\, balls to kick around and lots of fun to be had. Participants are co-designing programs and ideas are always welcome. \nThrough this simple idea to fill an identified need by gathering at an underutilized space at a set time each week\, more people are getting involved and connected in their community. We started the playgroup in September 2023 and it is now a volunteer-led program.  Drop in on a Friday at 9:30 a.m. to gather with little ones! \nLearn more on Facebook at Stratford Children’s Playgroup.

DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join this fun\, free program on Friday mornings!\nIn talking to community members at events\, parents and caregivers often expressed an interest in having more activities for children 5 & under. The library staff and trustees were more than happy to let us use their recently renovated children’s room for a weekly program and the town gladly offered up use of the pavilion next door\, as well as the park. \nIt’s a great opportunity for both adults and children to socialize and enjoy some fun activities. Mornings start in the library with playtime\, snacktime (bring your own snack) and storytime\, then transitions to active play outdoors.  Inside supplies are available for coloring\, as well as a selection of toys\, and an outdoor bin of toys/sports equipment is positioned at the basketball court for the public to use.  Kids love bringing their bikes to ride on the basketball court\, and we have bubbles\, balls to kick around and lots of fun to be had. Participants are co-designing programs and ideas are always welcome. \nThrough this simple idea to fill an identified need by gathering at an underutilized space at a set time each week\, more people are getting involved and connected in their community. We started the playgroup in September 2023 and it is now a volunteer-led program.  Drop in on a Friday at 9:30 a.m. to gather with little ones! \nLearn more on Facebook at Stratford Children’s Playgroup.

SUMMARY:Summer Picnic & Play Series! #1
DESCRIPTION:We are teaming up with the Family Resource Center to host a series of three “Picnic & Play” meet-ups on Fridays at parks in the North Country this summer.  After listening to what families we were looking for\, we came up with fun offerings at three different locations that will help bring people together and take advantage of our town’s assets.  We will be offering free peanut butter & jelly sandwiches\, applesauce\, and cold bottled water for families to enjoy a picnic together\, paired with fun things to do. \nFirst up in Stratford on June 28\, we will get together at the Pavilion on the Common\, next to the Stratford Public Library.  People can sit to enjoy lunch at the picnic tables in the shade\, and the kids can even sing & dance on the stage there if they’d like!  When folks are ready we’ll head on down to the Back Street River Park to play with soccer balls\, basketballs\, bubbles & families can bring bikes or scooters to ride around on the court. \nWe hope that these opportunities to gather will increase social connections in our communities\, open up eyes to the wonderful places we have in our towns\, and provide fun ways for families to enjoy time together this summer.
