This past weekend was spent working on legislation for January.

Today, Monday, I will be participating in, and speaking at, the World Peace Day Celebration. 12Noon, Rail Road Square in Keene. I hope you can join the Monadnock Community in celebrating in this World Wide Moment of Peace.

Following the Celebration, I will be driving to Concord to attend the Business Finance Authority meeting as a Senate appointed Board member.

Tonight I have two engagements at Keene State College. First is the Keene State College Partnership Event, and second is the 12th Holocaust Memorial Lecture with Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein. At the age of 15, Ms. Klein was separated from her family and sent to a slave-labor camp. She spent successive years in camps, and endured a 350-mile forced death-march in which 2,000 women were subjected to exposure, starvation and arbitrary execution. Her story of survival and peace is an inspiration.

On Tuesday, as chair of the School Building Aid Committee I will be meeting with other legislatures reviewing information regarding the State’s responsibility for providing aid to new construction and renovations of school buildings.

As well, I will be attending the New Hampshire Education Council as a participating Senate Council member.

The NEA Regional meeting will take place in Keene Tuesday night and I am looking forward to spending the evening with our outstanding teachers discussing important education issues.

On Wednesday, as committee member appointed by the president of the Senate, I’ll be in a meeting to study tax credits. Later, I chair the Advanced Manufacturing and Education Advisory Council.

The following week (9/28-10/2) I’ll be out of the State. So the blog will be slow, but I’ll look forward to reporting-in when I return. And, in the meantime, you can certainly find me through email or my office, and I will respond.

Have a wonderful and peaceful week,
Molly
