"Good Morning New Hampton" Program
The Good Morning New Hampton Program was created to provide our at-risk population an opportunity to check-in on a regular basis. Recently, we had an opportunity to see the benefits of the Good Morning New Hampton program. A resident checked-in on their regular day but failed to check-in on the next scheduled time. Following the programs guidelines, firefighters tried to call the individual. Failing to reach them by phone, police officers went to the residence for a well-being check. Unable to make contact, the police and fire department gained entry to the residence and found the individual in an upstairs bedroom lying on the floor. This individual had been lying on the floor for over twenty-four hours. Crews were able to treat and transport this individual to a definitive care facility, preventing what almost surely would have been a lonely, tragic ending. While not as dramatic as this situation, the Good Morning Program provides these services to our at-risk residents every day.
For more information on the Good Morning New Hampton Program, please call (603-744-2735) or stop by the firehouse.

New Hampton Historical Society Presents:
Maple, New Hampshire's Medicine of Connection
Wednesday, March 19th-7:00 PM
Gordon-Nash Library, 69 Main Street, New Hampton
Few things evoke the identity and values of New Hampshire more than Maple Syrup. It also bridges the many divisions facing our communities. In this presentation, Damian Costello explores how the practice of maple sugaring connects us to the land, our ancestors, and all that surrounds us. In conversation with Robin Wall Kimmerer's best selling Braiding Sweetgrass, he suggests that sugar making-which is informed by indigenous wisdom-is a communal medicine of connection that teaches mutual reciprocity with the land.
Our presenter received his PhD in theological studies from the University of Dayton and specializes in the intersection of Catholic theology, Indigenous spiritual traditions, and colonial history, and is an international expert on the life and legacy of Nicholas Black Elk and the author of Black Elk: Colonialism and Lakota Catholicism. Costello was born and raised in Vermont and his work is informed by many years of ethnographic work on the Navajo Nation.
NHHS thanks New Hampshire Humanities for providing our presenter and program. Our programs are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Please join us.
