Families in Transition is having a fundraiser and fun day at Veterans Park on September 4th. They are looking for some volunteers for their "I am One" New Hampshire Day to end child homelessness. The festivities will be from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. There will be a variety of performances including some music competition between bands. One in every four homeless are children in New Hampshire.

New video by John Mitchell showing the mural on the boathouse. The mural was created by Anthony Williams and painted by many of our artists.
John also contributed a poem for this week:
A Good Night’s Sleep
I would like to know you sleep
Away in a slumber still and deep.
Of sun warmed gases, make the bed.
On a pillow of vapors, rest your head.
A night without storm or rain--
A night narcotic released of pain.
A night so quiet, so full of rest
You’d count this sleep as the best.

Good news (finally!) from the IRS. Our organization has been approved with 501(c)3
status.
That means we are recognized as a charitable organization
for tax purposes.
We received the state (NH) approval shortly after our initial
filing, but the IRS took over 1 year to get around to approving us.
