Chili Fest CancellationCurrent events with the CoVID 19 virus have stunned all of us. Our plans for celebrations like school and college graduations, weddings, holidays, and, yes the Henniker Rotary Annual Fire on the Mountain Chili Fest, originally scheduled for August 16 have all been put on hold waiting for decisions on public gatherings. The Rotary Board of Directors has been carefully considering what new norms would need to be in place regarding social distancing and food service restrictions for both servers and attendees. In addition to managing social distancing and large group gatherings, we have been particularly concerned about our ability to recruit restaurants to participate due to the impact the pandemic has had on them and the publics’ concerns about having open food service at the event. Given these uncertainties, we have come to the sad and difficult decision that we should cancel Chili Fest. The Henniker Rotary Club is strong and will come through these hard times because we are “People of Action” and continue our commitment to both fund raising and the use of those funds for the communities we serve. We are not going away. We have to change course and pivot to cope with these new norms but Rotary, and all of us, have been through hard times before. The Henniker Rotary Club would like to say a special thank you to our long time partners and sponsors including: Pats Peak Ski Area, Granite Quill Publishers - The Messenger, 102.3 – The River, Ayer & Goss Fuels, Dunkin’ Donuts of Henniker, Davis & Towle Insurance Group, Edmunds ACE Hardware, Henniker Veterinary Hospital, New England College, Henniker Crushed Stone, Henniker Family Dentistry, Henniker Farm & Country Store, Henniker Pharmacy, Merrimack County Savings Bank and Morse Sporting Goods. Without this local business support, the Rotary Club “Fire on the Mountain Chili Fest would not have been the success it has been for the past 18 years. And to all of you who attended the event over the years, thank you for helping the Rotary Club of Henniker make our service area of Henniker and Hillsborough such great communities of caring. We hope you will share in our optimism and that you find it in your hearts and minds to see the bright future ahead. Please take time now to consider how you can continue your support for all that our Rotary Members do in the community. For instance, check out our new “Flags over Henniker and Hillsboro” initiative (see attached and our facebook link) and stay tuned for information about future Rotary activities. Better still, consider joining our club and being part of this important service organization. Contact George Mobley mblgcm@aol.com to learn more. With you as part of our team, we will celebrate the great spirit that binds our community together. |

Dr Thomas Andrew speaks to the club
Posted on Oct 21, 2015
State of NH Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Andrew spoke to the club regarding the epidemic of deaths resulting from the use of opioids, especially fentanyl and heroin. So far in 2015 there have been 258 drug-related deaths, with 82% caused by opiates and 84% of those from heroin and fentanyl or a combination of those two drugs. While pharmaceutical grade fentanyl is expensive, mobile labs manufacturing fentanyl that can be 200 times more potent than heroin pump that powder in the drug pipeline. Dr Andrew's presentation was both eye-opening and frightening.

He is shown here with President Ruth Zax presenting him with a 2015-2016 Rotary International pin.

With 181 dogs and cats vaccinated in two hours, the Henniker Rotary Club once again proved how a successful Rabies Clinic could be run. Many volunteers made the task easier, from traffic control of vehicles and animals outside, to greeters, cashiers, people who filled out registration forms or gave out free samples, to the Town Clerk, and especially Drs Brust and their staff. Our sponsors (A Precious Pet, TD Bank, Ayer & Goss, Henniker Farm & Country Store, Jean Lewis & Associates Real Estate, Ameriprise Financial, the Mutt Hut and media partner, Granite Quill) helped us raise money which was split between the Henniker Rotary Club and this year's partner, Farmsteads of New England. Our project chair, Ruth Zax, kept everything well organized with a before event meeting!

Chilifest Celebration at Amey Brook Park
Posted by Joyce Bosse on Sep 06, 2014
Members of the Club and their families enjoyed an afternoon of relaxation at Amey Brook Park last Sunday. We once again proved what good "cooks" we are with a variety of meats, vegetables, salads and desserts to share. Thanks to Mary for organizing us and thankfully we were again blessed by perfect sunny weather. While we were there another family was also enjoying the Park. What a wonderful job the park committee has done with the mowing, weeding and care. Special thanks to Joe and Pat Clement!!! |

White Birch update

Henniker Rotary club member Marc McMurphy, who is also the Director of White Birch Community Center, gave us an enlightening update on the activities and financing of the center. The number of programs and number of participants is truly amazing! Also speaking to the club was Sandra Bandieri of Banner Tours & Travel, a tour operator who puts together group tours to such places at New York, Boston, and even to the Rose Parade in California (is that on your bucket list?) White Birch Program Director Beth Ann Paul was also in attendance at the meeting. |

Scholarships and a Classification speech from Carolyn
Posted by Joyce Bosse on Jul 02, 2014
More scholarship checks were handed out as Carson Dunn and his parents, and Dawn Richard and her daughters were in attendance at our breakfast meeting. We were also fortunate to have Carolyn Damour agree to do a "classification" speech about herself and her road to her career...as Simon and Garfunkel sang, "a long and winding road"...but we're so glad that it brought her to the Henniker Rotary Club!! |

Last meeting for Jay
Posted by Joyce Bosse on Jun 25, 2014
It was an eventful meeting with scholarship checks given to Rebecca Kuzma (Brooks Burtt) and Ian Robie (Vocational) and Rebecca presenting her speech from the 4-way test speech contest, remember she wasn't only our winner, but District winner as well! Perhaps one of the best comments she made was that she felt truly supported by this Rotary Club and hopes to one day become a Rotarian...that and an Orthopedic Surgeon. We certainly wish these two young people all the best in their very bright futures. And thanks to former member Patty Jensen for visiting the Club and helping Joe add to the club's coffers (think pink!!). |
