THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 2021 SERVING TILTON, NORTHFIELD, BELMONT & SANBORNTON, N.H. FREE Sanbornton Community and comics Historical come together at RePetes National Free Comic Book Day Society to host coincides with Belmont’s Old Home Day program on immigration

SANBORNTON — The Sanbornton Historical So- ciety is proud to present “A Brief History of Immi- gration to New England” on Thursday, Aug. 12 at the Old Town Hall. Immigration to New England has long been a way of life in the northeastern United States. A presenta- tion examining that way of life will be presented by Brad Wolff. This program will examine the wide va- riety of people who have migrated to New England and trace some of the influence those relocations have exerted on the area’s culture, economy and way of life. Reference will be made to circumstances in other parts of the world that encouraged migration, America’s well known reputation as the land of op- portunity, and the evolving legal framework gov- erning immigration. The 2010 census data and first glimpses of 2020 data will be used to investigate what current patterns of immigration exist. Donna Rhodes Peter Swain of RePetes Comics and Collectibles on Main Street in Belmont and his comic book pal Deadpool look forward Brad Wolf is a retired social studies teacher and to seeing everyone this Saturday, Aug. 14 for a joint celebration of Old Home Day and National Free Comic Book Day. former New Hampshire Department of Education Social Studies Teacher of the Year.

Stone Wall Repair Fieldstone/Granite Granite VNA offers Living 35 years experience Tony Luongo with Grief support group 707-2727

LACONIA — Granite VNA, formerly Concord Regional VNA and Central NH VNA & Hospice, is offering a seven-week Living with Grief Support Group on Mondays beginning Sept. 13 from 5 - 6:30 p.m. Sessions will be held at the Granite VNA Branch at 780 North Main St. in Laconia. This weekly group offers adults a safe, caring space to share and learn alongside others whose lives and hearts have been broken open by loss. Together, we discuss ways of coping with our grief and the challenges of making our way in a changed world. We welcome people who have suffered the loss of any beloved – in a partnership, family of origin, family of choice, or friendship. While each of our loves and lives are unique, grief is a deeply shared human experience – one where we have much to learn from listening and sharing with each other. Sessions are free of charge. Registration is required and space is limited to six participants. Participants are expected to wear masks and seating will be spaced. An online option may also be available. Please ask if you are interested. To register, call Dan Kusch at 524-8444, ext. 2393 or e-mail [email protected].
