A Note From Our Executive

Director Sean Ryan

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to the

Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce and the

Peterborough Community for selecting me as a recipi-

ent of the 2015 Emerging Business Leader Award. I

am humbled and honored to have been chosen for this

award knowing that there are many qualified indi-

viduals. This community has welcomed me, thank you.

I have not achieved this on my own. I have had, and

continue to have, many great mentors. My pledge to

this community is that I will be

working hard every day to con-

tinue to make our town and our

region a good place to live and

work. If we have not made a con-

nection; I encourage you to drop

by my office at 100 Grove Street

and say hello. With much appre-

ciation and gratitude.

Adam R. Hamilton

The Greater Peterbor-

ough Chamber of Com-

merce is proud to be

the voice of business

community in our re-

gion. As we continue to

evolve as a Chamber,

we will still provide

outstanding network-

ing events, informative

speakers at our break-

fast forums, and cost

effective marketing op-

portunities. Our focus is now shifting to-

wards providing business advocacy, economic

growth services, and support to our members.

As we move forward we are not turning our

backs on the accomplishments of our past,

but only to build on those successes. It is be-

cause of those past achievements that we are

able to build our chamber on a strong founda-

tion. To some this may appear as change, but

to others it is really growth. Neither word

should be feared, but should be embraced.

But all the changes the Chamber is experi-

encing are ones that our members have a

voice in. Please be one of those voices and

help guide the Chamber to the future.

The Chamber is totally dependent upon our

members’ support and involvement. Without

you there is no Chamber. If you are not in-

volved with our Chamber, I urge you to be-

come involved. A strong business community

plays an instrumental role in creating jobs

and improving the local economy, as well as

the overall quality of life in the Greater

Peterborough region.

We are proud of what we accomplished in

only a few months and look forward to devel-

oping new opportunities for your business in

the future.

Come be part of our future!

10th Annual Spelling Bee Community Conversations

Dying with Dignity

Tuesday, April 14

7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

The Monadnock Center for History & Culture

There are so many taboos and inhibitions about discussion

and appropriate action around the end of life, and one con-

sequence of that is prolonged suffering and discomfort both

for those who are dying, and those around them who strug-

gle to know how best to support them.

In this Community Conversation, Dying with Dignity, our

panelists will lay the groundwork for a discussion with

their perspectives, insights and information.

• Sandy Webber, RN, APU (Med /surg) ,Monadnock Com-

munity Hospital,

• Julie Thibault, owner, Jellison Funeral Home

• Jeff Crocker, attorney

• Ilona Kwiecien, Hospice Chaplain

Following a

short presenta-

tion from each

panelist there

will be moder-

ated conversa-

tion, and wide-

spread participation is encouraged.

Community Conversations is a series that explores many of

the issues impacting our communities. A partnership be-

tween the Monadnock Center for History and Culture and

the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript, each Conversation fea-

tures local experts talking about challenges faced by our

communities. Some issues are global in nature, but each

conversation is designed to examine the topic from a local

perspective. The program provides residents with the op-

portunity to learn more about key issues impacting their

communities, to engage in a civil dialog with speakers and

with each other, and to come away with a sense that there

are things that individuals and communities can do to fos-

ter change and improvement. The program is free and open

to all.

Community Conversations are proudly sponsored by:

Harlow's Pub

taught by Chris Halvorson of Halvorson New Media, a social media consulting agency based in Hancock.

In-depth workshops will take place in Jaffrey; special topic overviews will take place over lunchtimes in

Hancock.

The in-depth Jaffrey workshops run 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 pm. on Tuesday evenings at the Jaffrey Chamber

of Commerce office, 7 Main Street, Jaffrey. You need not be a Chamber member to attend. Each work-

shop is $35 unless you enroll in more than one. Two workshops is $60 total and three is $85. Register at

HalvorsonNewMedia.com.

In-depth topics and dates in Jaffrey are:

April 7, TWITTER

This workshop will show you how Twitter works in order for you to decide whether or not to add it to your market-

ing mix (which most businesses should).

April 14, EXTREME FACEBOOK

Learn the 3 types of paid advertising options on Facebook and how to use them to keep costs down and visibility

up. We’ll also look at Facebook contests to promote your business and how to turn Facebook into a shopping cart to

sell your products or services.

April 21, LINKEDIN

You’re on LinkedIn. Now what? Here you’ll learn how to “work the program” and wring the most out of LinkedIn

for your personal and/or professional life.

Spend your lunchtime learning about some special topics in social media. This topics aren’t for everybody, but are

something all businesses and non-profits should have on their radars. These are $15 each; 2 for $25; 3 for $35.

calling Chris Halvorson at 603-203-0593.

Lunchtime special topics in Hancock and dates are:

April 10: Visual Marketing with Pinterest & Instagram

Instagram is incredibly popular among young adults. If what you are marketing lends itself to stunning photo-

graphs and your market is younger, you should consider Instagram. Pinterest is widely popular among women be-

tween 25 and 40 and is a huge driver of traffic to websites. If you're selling something that appeals to this market,

you may want to add Pinterest to your marketing mix.

April 17: Creating Graphics for the Graphically Challenged

Facebook posts that contain an interesting photograph or graphic are much more popular than plain text posts.

Pinterest and Instagram are all about the visuals. If you were not born to be a graphic designer and could use

some help with simple editing, finding sources of graphics or photos, and tips on some free and easy tools, this

workshop is for you.

April 24: Blogging: What it is and should you do it

Blogging is the "granddaddy" of social media and one every business should consider. Creating an effective blog

and using it consistently can go a long way toward getting your business or products noticed. Come learn the ba-

sics. You'll leave this workshop knowing where to start.

Pre-registration for the Hancock workshops is appreciated. Register at HalvorsonNewMedia.com or via

email at [email protected]. Call 603-203-0593 with questions.

The Waterhouse Restaurant and Bar is graced by the art of William Preston Phelps along its

walls throughout the restaurant. This unique collection of Phelps’ landscapes have been installed for

viewing for the next two months. The group of paintings are from private collections of the owners of

the restaurant. "I collect him because he is a local artist, I like the detail of his paintings and find it in-

teresting how his palette varies little from painting to painting." says Stan Fry. There are a total of 20

paintings to be enjoyed with several even for sale. Feel free to take the list of artwork available at the

restaurant reception desk and meander through the dining rooms appreciating the the beautiful beauty

of the Monadnock region on canvas complimented with the natural setting of the Restaurant on the

Nubanusit River.

While the restaurant is abuzz with the installation of the Phelps’ paintings, Keith Herrick is busy creat-

ing his own "masterpieces" in the kitchen. For the next few weeks, specials featuring local maple syrup

from Allcoin Farm in Henniker. Try the Bar Bites Maple Glazed Peanuts with Bacon Crumbs and

Southern style Fried Chicken with Maple Drizzle...... hard to resist! ”Maple syrup will be infused in

some new bar drinks for Spring", says Eileen Boyer, Dining Room Manager.

William Preston Phelps (1848-1923), long been known as the "painter of Monadnock”, lived in Chesham,

NH. His beloved Mt. Monadnock, was his inspiration, his solace, his wonder. Hundreds of his canvases

focused on this sole peak. He was able to show us the ever changing views from sunrise to twilight. He

painted in all weather showing beautiful Fall colors, Winter scenery, and wonderful visions of early

Spring. "Few artists of the Southwest New Hampshire Region can equal his ability to express impres-

sionistic feelings of the changing views of the Mountain." comments Ken Spector, owner of New Eng-

land Art Exchange, located in Depot Square. "I have a few Phelps paintings in my shop, his works are

highly sought by local collectors".

Phelps grew up on a farm and at a young age drew the

world around him. He became flawless in his renditions

of cows, sheep and horses. He was a student at Dublin

School, ultimately taking his talents to Massachusetts as

an apprentice. In 1875, Phelps left for Europe to study

under the masters of the day. He worked on his style of

landscape painting in Germany and for the next decade,

his travels took him to France, Switzerland, Italy and

Scotland. Phelps returned home with international ac-

claim. He successfully sold his paintings and was sought

after for mentoring art students.

Thereafter, adventures took him to California, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. His masterpiece of

The Grand Canyon, thought to be the first painting ever created of that ultimate American landscape

and The Tillers of the Soil, had been exhibited for many years at the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. The

Currier Museum has a wonderful examples of Phelps, in addition there is a very large Monadnock

painting in the Keene Public Library, another at the Cheshire County Historical Association and of

course in many private homes around the New England area.

As if that was not enough, for the next couple of months, Waterhouse has Giving Tuesdays, an annual

community outreach giving program where 10% of the revenues for the restaurant go to local non profit

groups. Thing in the Spring is the featured organization for the next two Tuesdays followed by The

River Center. For a full listing of upcoming Tuesdays, please check the website. And while you are at

Waterhouse, enjoy an Emerald Martini and be entered to win a Diamond Ring.

the Savings Bank of Walpole, last year’s Spirit of Monadnock award recipient. The Spirit of Monadnock

Award is the highest honor Monadnock United Way presents each year—reserved for the organization

Do you have an event you want to highlight?

We are accepting signups for the Windows at Nonie’s. There are

two windows, so we can accommodate more than one organization

at a time.

Business After Hours is a great way for you to invite your fellow

chamber members to see your facilities and to share what you do.

We still have open dates in 2015, so call us and sign up!
