Congressional Law Enforcement Awards on Friday; James Ciulla, Shaun Mailloux, Greg Miller, Scott
Ciszek, Colin Flanagan, Jeffrey Page, lan Theriault, Matthew Vincent, Kyle Ingersoll, Jonathan Turcotte,
and Nicholas Markarian. They have done an outstanding job and they were recognized by the State for
their outstanding service.
Alderman Lopez
First | just want to express my condolences to the crew and passengers of the plane that went down last
week. | know a lot of Nashuans had just seen it at the air show and it meant a lot to them; it has been a
regular visitor here and it affected people deeply.
| also wanted to, because we didn’t have an Aldermen Meeting between then, | went to the Out of the
Darkness Walk two weeks ago at Greeley Park and it was a really well run event. There was a lot of
community support. So | want to thank everybody who came and walked with me, everybody who came
and supported the cause. They raised a record amount for the American Foundation for Suicide
Prevention.
And then more recently on this past Sunday in Concord at the NAMI walk they did likewise. So | know
there is a lot of concern about mental health awareness and rising suicide rates and increasing instances of
violence. All| can say is there’s a lot of people that are working to try to make a difference and support
causes that know what they are doing and are able to improve those situations. So | just want to thank
everybody that is working in that way.
Alderman Clemons
| just want to say congratulations to Kim McCarthy and the McCarthy Family for what a wonderful event
they put on Saturday at the First Annual, what | hope is annual, McCarthy Foundation Fundraiser for STEM
Education in Nashua. | think it was an excellent event, it was well attended, had a great time and it was
good also because it also honored our friend, Brian McCarthy. So | look forward to many other events in
the future and | look forward to the success of that Foundation going forward.
President Wilshire
| too would like to congratulate the Nashua Police Officers for their achievements. Also | went to the
McCarthy event, | too hope it is an annual event, it was well attended. | think they did a really nice job
putting that together and looking forward to the students who might receive scholarships for STEM
education from that fundraiser.
Committee announcements:
Alderman Dowd
Yes tomorrow evening at Nashua High North at 7:00 P.M. the Joint Special School Building Committee; we
will be releasing the report of the Phase | of the Middle School Project. It outlines all the data that was
collected and describes all of the architect’s beliefs as to what needs to be changed. | would caution that
the prices that may be forthcoming in that report will be high because we haven’t looked at paring them
back yet to see what the scope of the actual project will be. So the report will outline everything that they
found and everything that they recommend. So from that we will go forward.
