Board of Aldermen 08-14-2018 Page 2
Finally a couple of items coming up this week, Mr. President, first we have the Back to School item which is
the Back to School Event over at the Library. That is on the 23" in the late afternoon; it is too bad
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja is not here because she has been a very important driving force behind that
project for many years as have George Katis from Nashua Wallpaper and a number of other people, the
Library and the School Department. It is a great event for kids who need school supplies and | am sure we
will see hundreds of kids and families there on that evening.
And finally, Mr. President, | wanted to mention the Designer Showhouse which is taking place on Concord
Street, at 90 Concord Street. This is a benefit for Home Health & Hospice which is a worthy cause of
course. But the Showhouse is at the former home or the mansion really that is known as the Frank
Anderson House built by major industrialist Frank Anderson back in 1906. He owned shoe factories at the
time, one of the biggest industrialists in the United States and the world in those days. He lived there for a
time and later it became the home of Mount St. Mary. Recently it has been purchased by Thomas More
College up in Merrimack. Now Home Health & Hospice under the auspicious of Tina Andrade has had the
entire mansion restored and decorated.
It is an incredible bit of Nashua history and it is definitely worth visiting. It does cost $25.00 to make a visit
but that money goes to Home Health & Hospice so | recommend that everyone take a visit to 90 Concord
Street and check out the Frank Anderson Designer Show House.
Mr. President, that is all | have for this evening.

Andrew Lavoie, Nashua Police Chief
Thank you, Chief Lavoie Nashua Police Department. Due to the temperature in the room | will be
extremely brief. | am here in support of Resolution 055, the contract between the Nashua Homeless
Association and the Nashua Police Commission.
| believe that this is a ttemendously mutually beneficial contract. The Patrolmen and Detectives of the
Nashua Police Department are the heart and soul of the Nashua Police Department. Certainly in my
completely nonbiased opinion, | think their performance is certainly second to none and |
wholeheartedly support the final passage. Thank you.
