Board of Aldermen — 12/12/17 Page 11
Third, I’d like to say best wishes and good luck to the outgoing members of the Board. It was my pleasure
serving with you all for two years since | got elected. | wish you all the best.
Finally, to our citizens, Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to all.
Alderman Moriarty
| want to put in a brief plug for the Rainbow Girls breakfast this Sunday, Dec. 17, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
It’s at the Mason Lodge on Main Street. Rainbow Girls is an organization for teenage girls, and there are
Rainbow Pledges which is for younger girls. Go online and read all about it. They have a once monthly
fundraiser and get-together. Sunday, 8:00 a.m.
Alderman Lebrun
I’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. And this being a nation of Christians,
Jesus is the reason for the season.
Alderman McGuinness
I’d like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and/or the holiday that you follow. God bless everybody.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
First of all, a thank you to the Senior Center for everything they did for their breakfast and their gingerbread
competition. And thank you to the firefighters, and congratulations to the firefighters at the Amherst Street
Station who won.
I’d also like to take the opportunity to thank Commissioner David Lavoie from the Fire Commission who did not
run for re-election, and after many years serving both on the Fire Commission and as a Police Commissioner
for one term is retiring. So a thank you to him for his service.
I’m sure many of you read in the paper that St. Mary and Archangel Michael Church, the new Coptic church,
won over $300,000 in funding for restoration. | would just like to thank James Vayo from the City for his efforts.
He talked to us many, many months ago about working on that, and I’d like to thank him for being successful in
helping them get that money towards the restoration.
To those of you who will not be returning, it’s been a pleasure serving with you. | look forward to seeing you in
the community. Happy Hanukkah to those who have started their celebration this evening, and Merry
Christmas.
Alderman Schoneman
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all those here and at home.
Alderman Caron
Alderman O’Brien, I'll forgive you, because Alderman Dowd filled in. And I’d also thank the Nashua Lions Club
for participating in putting on the breakfast. Santa was there again, but also this year, as part of the
gingerbread contest, we got five of the fire stations to provide the gingerbread house. And one fire station went
above and beyond; they went online, learned how to make gingerbread, and actually built the replica of the
Amherst Street station. That’s why they won. What they did win was a cookbook that celebrates the 40"
anniversary of the Senior Center.
