Summer is ending; a new season begins...
Diane Johnson writes: Sunday, as I walked home from church, the beauty of the village—gardens, lawns, Red Hill in the background, and the reflection of trees and well-kept buildings on the Town Hall Pond—struck me. A little further on my way, folks were out working the their yards, a group of soccer players were on Quimby Field, people were playing tennis, and a small flock of chickens were pecking around a lamb grazing in a front yard. My thoughts turned to some of the beautiful souls who have passed physically from this community in this last year or so. Each of them leaves a void.
This community is full of wonderful people who were born and raised here, and others who have come here in various stages of life, and for various reasons. Those who stay make this a home and community and they stay because they have found something here that makes their life happy and serves their soul. In the eternal cycle, people come, live, contribute as long as they can. We age, slow down, and eventually pass on. New people move in and hopefully find our community welcoming and ready to accept their talents and dreams to keep Sandwich a great place to live. In honor of all who have made this community what it is, get out and do those random and planned acts of kindness that make us who we are, and appreciate this place we now call home.

Sandwich Children's Center Annual Gala and Auction
Jillian Anderson, Sandwich Children's Center Board Member, writes: We are gearing up to hold our annual gala and auction for the Sandwich Children's Center. This event is the epitome of what summer in our wonderful community is about. We are excited to release the details as they unfold (although rest assured there will great food and company!) - but for now we want you to mark your calendars before they fill up for the summer. So please save the date: August 18, McIlvain Barn- Sandwich, NH, 6pm.
Tickets will go on sale right around the 4th of July- stay tuned for locations you can purchase. Can't make the event, but would like to support SCC?! We are always looking for underwriters to cover costs and make sure that it can be the most profitable it can be. Please contact me at oleander603@gmail.com if you would like to contribute or have any questions. Thanks and can't wait to see you all there.
Book and Supply Money
If you are a Sandwich resident and a recent high school graduate working on your first undergraduate degree, you have until August 1 (postmark) to write a note to Sandwich Woman's Club, PO Box 48, Center Sandwich, NH 03227. In the note you should introduce yourself and include your name and contact information, your goals for the future and your plan to reach those goals. Students may request Book and Supply Money each year (no more than 4 years) of their undergraduate career.
The Sandwich Woman's Club raises money with a raffle during Old Home Week (Thursday 8/9/18 at 2 pm on the green). Funds raised are used to help Sandwich young adults with some of the expenses that come with continuing their education. The amount is usually 150 to 250 per student depending on the funds raised by the raffle and the number of students requesting funds. Checks are written to the student shortly after Labor Day and do not interfere with other financial aid awards.
Students must write the notes themselves and if they are short on time or out of town, they may send an e-mail to sandwichnews@hotmail.com. The August 1 deadline will still apply. Please include Book and Supply in the subject line.

Those who visit Sandwich, NH, often find themselves planning to return. Some even return here to live. What makes Sandwich such a prized destination? An invigorating atmosphere, friendly people and quiet streets. Clear waters and scenic views in the White Mountains. Plenty to see and do embedded in the vibrant spirit of an historic New England town. I am grateful to be part of this exceptional community.
