I wanted to share with you a recent story about a girl, Sara Prindiville; and a boy, Sid Ceaser who found each other.
Sid created the movie trailer, below, as a creative way to pop the question and had it shown at the Red River Theater in Concord.
Sara said Yes!
Congratulations to you both!
Please enjoy!
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
On this Thanksgiving Day, from my family to yours, I hope you develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward today is a step toward achieving something bigger and better tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Mark
I wanted to thank all of you who came out to support the Mt. Pleasant PTO at their Block Party a few weekends ago. June, it was my pleasure to support your PTO…please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Thank you from June Lemen & the Mt. Pleasant PTO
I had a fabulous time and met some fabulous people including Principal Mary-Frances Tintle and 4th Grade Instructor and fellow dunkee Tim Caster.
Thank you to Lori Gilcreast, Broad Street PTO President for taking the photos.
Dry for the moment...
Alderman Cookson is down!
That didn't take long...all wet!
Ready for the next throw!
The following is a portion of an article Columnist June Lemen had published in the May 11th, 2010 Nashua Telegraph - Selfless stand-in delivers – NashuaTelegraph.com.
I would like to ask you to please consider coming out tomorrow and supporting the Mt. Pleasant PTO in their effort to raise funds for their students’ field trips, enrichment programs and the Fifth Grade Picnic. I will be joining them at 11:00am and sitting in their Dunk Tank…I want to make a BIG SPLASH so please come out and take a couple of throws at me for a good cause.

If you are a PTO member at a local school, like I am, you know that PTOs are being asked to provide more of the money that goes to enrichment and field trips than ever before. And if you live in Nashua, you know that school budgets are tighter than last year’s. And, if you are a parent, and you like your kids to have inexpensive fun, you should come join us on the 22nd.
This is a family fair – we’re going to have something for all family members. The school is offering tables for crafters and vendors, so if you make something wonderful and want to have an excellent venue to offer it to the world, come to Mount Pleasant. If you have some wonderful used goods that you would like to sell, book a table here.
Besides the crafters and the flea marketers, we’ll have exhibitors and vendors. People from city agencies are going to be here, including the Nashua Department of Health, which is offering a free immunization clinic. You can find out about great programs, such as the Nashua Swim and Tennis Club’s group lessons.
And your kids? Well, they can visit a bouncy house, get their faces painted and see Steve Blunt.
We adults will have to content ourselves with shopping for handcrafted items and dunking local politicians in our dunk tank. I have invited all of the aldermen to participate – so far I have heard that Alderman-At-Large Mark Cookson is planning on making a big splash, and that Barbara Pressly can’t make it. (I wasn’t expecting Mrs. Pressly to get in the dunk tank, as she is in her 70s, but she was all graciousness when she called to respond to my invitation.) If no other aldermen are willing or able to step up, we have various Mount Pleasant community members who will take a turn at getting wet to raise money.
And that’s what this is about – we’re raising money for our school. It is a matter of extreme pride at our school that no children at Mount Pleasant miss a field trip because they cannot afford the fee. This is why the PTO holds events like this – and, of course, because I want to be able to sit on a lawn on a beautiful day in May, with my family, and listen to Steve Blunt sing songs and make us laugh.
Please come. Feel free to e-mail for more information.

We need your help!
I know this may be a difficult time for many of us and understand if you are not able to donate. However, I ask that you please consider supporting the Strong Kids Campaign...a campaign which offers individuals and families opportunities to participate at the Y when they may not have the resources to do so on their own.
As a member of the YMCA of Greater Nashua Board of Directors I have established a personal goal to raise $3,000 in donations to support this campaign. This is where you come in...if each of my friends decided to support me you would just need to find $4.60. That's less than a "Happy Meal" and would be even more meaningful to the child or family you just helped.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Mark
