Park opens at 9am, and we will provide lunch at noon. The picnic wraps up at 4pm but you are free to stay all day for the beach and park. Bathroom and playground are available on site, and our pavilion is #3 near the bathroom.
The gate admission for the park is $15 per car, a huge increase from the last time. So, we were able to obtain a donation from T-Mobile to cover picnic costs. So, it’s free for you guys to come and eat with us!

transcript: “Hi, this is Kristy Stellato. This vlog is about the Allies Conference coming up for April 22-24 in Nashua. The specific group of people this vlog is geared for is the Deaf community members. I hope you will come to the conference to talk about allies, listen to presenters, etc.
You may have noticed the registration fee for a Deaf community member is $50, and if that’s too much, you can ignore that form. You can email NHRID for a separate form for *free* registration. I will spell out the email address and then screen text will show up to show the address:
NHRIDTREASURER@GMAIL.COM
I hope you will come to the conference!”
We are hosting a St. Patrick’s Day party at the American Legion Post in Hooksett on March 19th from 5pm – 8pm. Due to COVID, we won’t be allowing a potluck, but we will provide a corned beef dinner, a pasta dish, and some simple desserts. Masks need to be worn at entry until sitting at the table. We will bring food to the table, so no need to line up for a plate.
Admission is the price of membership ($12 for individual, $20 for couple, $6 for senior citizen, $10 for SC couple, and $6 for college students). We will have a few activities, like the best St. Patrick’s outfit contest, bead game, and 50/50 raffle.

Per President Mike Schock’s orders, all April, May, and June events are cancelled. We will continue to have our board meeting the first week of May with using the Zoom software. Events for the rest of the summer are on hold until we have a good feel of where the COVID-19 virus is going. We hope to resume events by the next fall.
Per recommendations for COVID-19 from several sources:
If you are feeling stressed, anxious, upset, etc for whatever reason during the COVID-19 pandemic, you can reach out to Greater Nashua Mental Health Center-Deaf Services. They have DHH mental health specialists available, and there is a couple phone numbers you can call.
“Call 603-821-0073 (VP) during business hours. Outside of business ours, our agency’s phone support is available. The clinicians on-call are trained to support our community and connect you to Deaf Services for the next business day. 888-762-8191.” (from Holly)
