Shout out to Divet Dave's family for bringing in a fun putting green. One of our newest NHVH family members & club champ of Riverside Golf Course, we're happy Dave shares his passion of the sport with us. Also sharing her passion of dogs with us is Wendy. We're so appreciative of her steadfast support of our veterans, bringing Chou Chou, her 4-legged family member, to visit. To complete this trifecta of fun, Tilton School students joined us for an evening of board games. We are blessed!

Congratulations to all of our NHVH Olympic participants and a big shout out to Tom Sawyer, Tim Fox & Tony Damanti who took Home the gold, silver & bronze medals! Our Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony and Ice Cream Social was the culmination of many days of Olympic-themed games where our veterans earned points for participation, attendance, and game scores. Ribbons were given for the top Olympians for each neighborhood in addition to the overall top 3. In true olympic style, Heather sang our National anthem after carrying the torch to our Olympic finale. We’re thankful to The Common Man's 104 Diner for making our celebration even sweeter, providing and serving ice cream and brownie sundaes. Thank you 104 Diner! Add in our RED Friday, and Murphy tail wags and kisses and our day was complete.

We took in many exhibits and the IMAX show, History of Apollo, on our trip to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center this week. Our very own Tom Sawyer was proud to share that he worked on parts for the Apollo while at RCA in Lawrence, MA, and enjoyed sharing his experiences with us and other Center visitors. Many thanks to our Resident Benefit Fund donors and our volunteers who make our trips possible!

We were honored to welcome a special presentation from The New Hampshire Writers' Project on the Colonel Melvin Weston Rowell Literary Project this week. It was engaging and especially meaningful to hear Author Martin Swirko talk about his book, "All Routes Are Amber". Our residents and staff look forward to the Project's return visits to help our veterans write their stories! Winter Olympic spirit was in full swing; our Olympic challenge continued with curling - also known as shuffleboard - for lots of friendly competition and laughs. We put on our creative hats for painting and art projects, too. Another great day of connection, learning, and Olympic fun.

Resident Council members led discussed trips, Home updates, and ideas at the monthly Resident Council meeting. We love engaged residents. Music had us shaking maracas and keeping rhythm.

Happy Valentine’s Day!💞
Our Home is full of meaningful visits, hearts, and Valentine’s cheer -
including Felisha’s hearts - that included her glasses. ❤
We welcomed Sam Mitchell from Congressman Chris Pappas’ team, who visited to share Valentine’s cards from Garrison Elementary School (Dover). As a Coast Guard veteran, it was especially meaningful for him to meet our veterans, including Thomas, Coast Guard resident. We are grateful for Sam’s time and genuine care.
We were also thankful to Cathy from the Pemigewasset Valley Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for bringing beautiful Valentine’s cards & puzzle books. Your thoughtfulness means a great deal to our veterans!
The celebrations continued with Betty Morgan's birthday party. It was wonderful to celebrate with her family. Happy birthday, Betty!
Add in a fun game of frisbee toss, and our daily Olympic challenge featuring Wii skiing, which brought out plenty of friendly competition and laughs, and our day was filled with kindness, connection, and celebration.
We hope you also have an amazing day!
