Sandwich News Column

By Stephanie Goddard


Finally, it is looking and feeling more like summer in New Hampshire. Late spring is a beautiful time in Sandwich. Green is the predominant color, interspersed with accents of rainbow hues, thanks to Sandwich’s many gorgeous flowers and flowering trees.


Here’s a few of the fun and interesting events coming up in the next couple weeks in and around Sandwich: (you can read more about them below!)


May 29 – Shakespeare on Tap
June 4 – First Sandwich Farmer’s Market
June 3 – Business After-hours at Club Sandwich
June 5 – Woman’s Club meeting
June 5 – Historical Society lecture
June 10 – Sandwich Business Group meeting

Registration appreciated but not required; just drop in and join Ms. Kourtney for some creative fun and snacks! Any questions, email [email protected]


Science Center Passes


The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center trails are open. Make plans to visit the newest arrivals: the fisher and foxes. Call the library to reserve your pass for discounted admission. 603-284-6665.


Sandwich Woman’s Club Meeting


The next meeting of the Sandwich Women’s Club will be on Thursday, June 5, at 4:30 pm in the Community Room at the Samuel H. Wentworth Library. The agenda will include specific plans for the Luncheon on the Green and raffle on August 7 during Old Home Week. It's that time of year again! You may already be familiar with the Sandwich Woman's Club, organized in 1928 for the purpose of "doing good for the community." In order to benefit our special community, we hold two fundraising events during Old Home Week. The Luncheon on the Green funds the Community Christmas Tree for our young children. The Old Home Week Raffle provides funds for books and supply money for our college and trade school students for ALL 4 years. Perhaps you yourself, or your children have previously received this money. Our raffle committee is now seeking donations. 
Last year some of our local contractors, opting not to dig a new cellar hole or build a new house, donated gift cards to other local businesses like the Sandwich Home Industries, or a local restaurant. One even provided a crisp $100 bill. These guys were thinking outside of the box! 
If you are a crafter and would like to donate an item, we would love it! We believe that offering support to our students is so important. It takes a village to raise a child...please help us help them. If you would like to talk about making a donation, please feel free to reach out. And don't forget to buy those raffle tickets!

Waxing Moon Gardens


Waxing Moon’s latest newsletter is out: Here is an excerpt:
In our spare time we’ve been working on a few building projects. Some are just simple quality of life stuff for us and others are for the farm. One such project has been fortifying the support on the high tunnel end walls. Last season the weight of the tomatoes proved to be a little more stressful than our end walls could handle. At the tail end of the season last year we even had a small breakage in a piece of wood. Using wood leftover from building the fence and other things plus some new material we hope that it will hold better this season.

Selectmen’s Update


The Board had a busy meeting on Monday with several topics of discussion.
In the work session, the Board discussed methods for risk mitigation of accidental damage to an abutter’s building by users of Quimby Field (soccer balls, etc.); the Alfred Quimby Fund makes Quimby Field available to the public and town for recreational uses.
The Board also conducted an interview for the town’s vacant highway maintainer position. Information regarding employment opportunities can be found on the town website.
In the regular meeting, the Board was joined by the Police Chief and many members of the public to discuss the town’s relationship with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as well as protocol for coordination with ICE. Numerous townspeople spoke about their concerns regarding ICE activities and our local law enforcement’s protocol for engaging in these activities. The Town is not currently in partnership with ICE nor are there any plans to enter into a partnership/agreement with ICE. ICE protocols are separate from our local department; with a current vacancy in our Police Department, the Board and Chief are especially focused on deploying resources on local matters. In addition, legislation (in particular, state legislation) is rapidly evolving. The town is consistently working to stay apprised of legislative developments. Two related bills pending are HB 511 and SB 62.
In parallel with the Department’s recent vacancy, the Board also discussed its residency policy for police members; Selectboards have historically required members to reside within 15 miles of the town. For multiple reasons, the Board agreed it is in the town’s best interest to relax residency requirements. The Board is most interested in finding a qualified candidate that is a good fit for the community.

North Sandwich Friends


North Sandwich Friends Meeting invites friends and neighbors to join their weekly Meeting for Worship from 10:00 to 11:00 am on Sunday at the North Sandwich Meetinghouse (354 Quaker Whiteface Rd., N Sandwich, NH 03259).
Quakers, or “Friends,” have their roots in 17th century England. We have no explicit creed, nor does Quaker practice reflect a hierarchy among individuals. Believing that there is that of God in every person, Quakers welcome all who seek to join us in common spirit. Friends seek to live lives guided by six “testimonies”: Integrity, Simplicity, Peace, Equality, Community and Stewardship.
Meeting for Worship is a time of quiet listening to the inner voice of spirit, God, the Light within –whatever term one uses—in community with others. We sit largely in silence for an hour; friends who are deeply moved to share an insight may rise and do so. Most Sundays, a very brief reading is offered reflecting Quaker values or history, which may provide a common focus for reflection. After the meeting, friends share individual reflections and announcements with each other.


In the Round


In the Round takes place Sundays at 8:45 – 10:30 am at the Benz Center, 18 Heard Road, Sandwich.
In the Round, a community discussion group for the past 25 years, meets weekly in Sandwich. The topic is always thought-provoking and related to what people are thinking about these days. In the Round welcomes all points of view, reasonably and respectfully considered. Anyone who wishes to join in that spirit of dialog is invited. Various viewpoints are welcomed. Everyone is welcome.
