Well my husband built an all-purpose potting shed table and we raised $1,000 at the farmers market.
Carolyn Choate
Wow that’s great. | wasn't aware there was a Beautification Committee. How do you get the word out? | don't see it on
the city website or?
Carolyn Choate
Well it started out pretty large and | was enjoying an early retirement at the time before | started working full time and
overtime at Southern New Hampshire University. So since that time, it's been ad hoc as we get together once in a while
and then | work with an esteemed designer, Lorraine Proust, who is a retired certified designer and we work on projects
she and | at need.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you.
President Wilshire
I'd like to say when we were talking about the property on Concord Street that they have done a wonderful job and it's a
labor of love. It really is. They do it out of the kindness of their hearts because they want to do it not because they have
to do it.
Carolyn Choate
Okay. My husband's bringing up to me to make clear that I'm not here to ask for money or funding, if that's true. I'm not
here for funding. I'm hear saying | just wanted to let you aware of who we are, what we do, and that you might avail
some funding perhaps for maybe some more code enforcement people. It would help in the long run and just your
support knowing that aesthetics are important to the economic vitality of our city and we need to raise the bar.
President Wilshire
Thank you very much. Appreciate everything you do.
