As most of you know, I have sold my house in Walpole and moved to Covenant Living of Keene. While I have the ability to continue as administrator of The Walpolean, I feel it’s best for its future, and for me, to pass the reins to a Walpole resident and younger person. My goal was to assure that the community doesn’t lose what I have hoped was a helpful asset started over a decade ago by Chuck Bingaman. Luckily, I was successful in finding a very capable person exactly like I was looking for.
So – If you don’t know Kelli Wilson, let me introduce you. (She has talents beyond being my fun and able partner on Saturdays at the Walpole Town Library.)
A native of Keene, NH, Kelli has lived in Walpole since 2009 with her husband Damian and their two children. She has previously served our community as a two-term member of the Walpole Conservation Commission, and as a volunteer and board member for the Walpole Historical Society. She works part-time at the Walpole Town Library, in addition to her “day job” as an editor at Connell Communications, Inc. (publishers of Taste for Life and Remedies magazines). She has many years of experience working with WordPress software, including maintaining her own blog on the platform since 2011.
In my years of working beside her at the library desk, I have found her to be extremely capable on the computer. She refuses to let a technology issue get the better of her. She’ll probably be able to take pdf files and post them on The Walpolean. Even after 11 years as the administrator, that’s a trick I never mastered.
You can now send your posts to Kelli at thewalpolean@gmail.com and, like me, Kelli will do her best to post them ASAP. For the next month or so (until you get used to the change) you can send them there or to me at ltdecoste@comcast.net. We don’t want information to get lost in the “transfer”!
Please utilize Kelli’s skills and do your part in “Keeping the Community Up-to-date” by sharing your events and news. Kelli will be counting on your help just as I did.
