A thinker, a doer and a visionary. A so far unacclaimed hero in our area's and nation's fight against the virus. No Concord citizen has more supported others and lent a helping hand expecting absolutely no personal honors, recognition or acknowledgement during our Pandemic year of 2020. Warner Historical Society To Explore The Town’s Native History Lynn Clark of the Warner Historical Society and Sherry Gould, Warner resident and member of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation, will speak about the Indigenous history of the Warner area from creation to the present day. Many people have seen the stone tools used by the area’s Native inhabitants thousands of years ago. Many may have heard stories about conflict between early settlers and Abenaki inhabitants of this land.

NH ROLLER DERBY RAISES MONEY FOR NAACP Officiating Clinic for a Cause MANCHESTER, NH March 5, 2021—Throughout the month of February, NH Roller Derby (NHRD) and NHRD’s Head Official, Melissa Griffin also known as Officially Mel, organized a series of clinics directed toward education for Non-Skating Officials in the sport of Roller Derby. The clinics were attended by roller derby officials all over the world. These clinics, which were presented live online, were for anyone interested in learning how to be a Non-Skating Official (NSO), any current NSOs wanting a refresher, or any skaters that want to learn how it all works behind the scenes. The clinics were free but donations were being accepted with part donation to our local NAACP in Manchester, NH in honor of Black History Month. With donations collected, NHRD was able to raise $200 for the NAACP. NH Roller Derby’s mission is to promote women’s athleticism while giving back to the local community. The NAACP’s mission is to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons.
