Guess what? It is raining
again. I think we’d all like a few more sunny days to enjoy,
right Eatonites? Hey, all, I need some more town news to report
on. Town Hall? Little White Church? Eaton Post Office? Where
did that come from except it is harder for all of us now that
I’m not in the Post Office every day. Just email me at newecnh@gmail.com
so I can keep up with your news. Who is graduating this year?
Where are they going to school? I am just filled with questions
and YOU have the answers.
I’m sure you all
received your tax bills, always a delight, and the Town Hall
Tatler for May 2025 is great reading (thank you, Lianne). I hope
most of you have gotten the new E-911 signs for your house. They’re
sturdy, green, attractive and free. If the fire, ambulance, or
police vehicles are racing to your houses in an emergency, the
sooner they see your sign, the safer you will be. Call the Eaton
Town Hall and tell them you’re coming for your particular
sign soon. Don’t wait until something happens and you need
help.
Please make sure to
pick up your beach passes, issued only to Eaton taxpayers, at
the Town Hall. All Town of Eaton homeowners (resident and non-resident)
will be issued upon their request either one vehicle sticker
and one guest pass OR two vehicle stickers. Residents may loan
their guest pass out, but the most important thing to remember
is that Individuals and/or vehicles accessing the beach MUST
display a pass. No pass - no access. One pass - one vehicle.
Inn guests may show their room keys. Group use of the beach will
require prior permission from the Board of Selectmen. Long term
renters of an Eaton residence will be issued one vehicle sticker
upon their request and proof of residency. This is our Eaton
beach that we are lucky to have because many years ago the Town
set up this beach for the tax-payers. Elaine, Suzanne, and Vince
will be back checking out the passes and stickers. Please don’t
argue with them for doing their job. Good luck to all and happy
swimming and tanning.
In an attempt to get
information out in a short amount of time, the Town Hall is putting
together an email list so that they can let you know of any important
events or changes in meetings, and also in an emergency. If you
are interested in these notifications, please email the Town
Hall at eatonth@roadrunner.com
The South Eaton Meeting
House Members’ Meeting was this past Sunday. If you are
interested in joining, make sure to tell the board, who always
welcomes new members. Their Freedom Old Home Week Luncheon and
Fair will be held on Saturday, July 26th from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. at the South Eaton Meeting House. More details later but
don’t miss the awesome food and this delightful fair.
Does anyone know what’s
going on at Snowvillage Inn? About a week ago, several friends
had reservations to dine there but when then arrived, a sign
said the Inn was closed. So many of us dearly love the Snowvillage
Inn and look forward to summer dinner on the porch with the setting
sun and the magnificent view of Mt. Washington. We miss the fun
events held there and the artists’ receptions and so many
other fun activities we look forward to. I hope they have a nice
summer menu for us all to enjoy. We miss you, SVI.
Don’t forget the
Remembrance Celebration for David Condoulis and Kim Bowker on
June 21st (summer solstice), at Tin Mountain Conservation Center
in the afternoon. Please save the date to honor these two wonderful
people and share the love with family and friends. More details
to follow.
I sincerely hope many
of you commemorated Memorial Day last week and remembered those
who paid the ultimate price in the name of duty, honor, and freedom.
I saw a quote on Facebook that says it all, “Our flag does
not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath
of every soldier who died defending it.” We love you, Veterans.
