The Empty Chair
Cute message from Peggy Pschirrer. I think she must have felt a little lonely last week. – Lil
It is Tuesday and I sit empty in front of a clean table overlooking a beautiful golf course and the green hills of Vermont!
Where are you? Have you forgotten me?
I long to have someone come with a picnic and friends full of good fun. Please fill up me and the other empty seats on the Porch of the Hooper Golf Club.
A great place to relax, reminisce …you will find friends there. Come along, no more empty chairs, no more empty Tuesdays.
See you there!!

Walpole Scout, Paul C. Beliveau, Jr. Earns Eagle Scout Award
When people start talking about “these kids today”, keep this young man in mind. He started as a Cub Scout like this:
Teen led project maintaining snowmobile/hiking trail for Eagle Project
Paul C. Beliveau, Jr. 18, son of Paul and Evelyn Beliveau, was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout on May 4, 2016. Paul is a member of Troop 299 in Walpole, chartered with the Daniel Webster Council and the Boy Scouts of America through the Walpole Fire Department. Before crossing over to the troop as a fifth grader, Paul was a member of Cub Scout Pack 299.
In early December Paul led a group of friends and family to maintain a snowmobile/hiking trail in Walpole for the Hooper Hill Hoppers. They removed dead trees that posed hazards to riders and hikers, repaired a bridge, cut back brush and trailside growth and affixed safety signage.
Paul is a 2016 graduate of Fall Mountain Regional High School. He will be attending the Honors College at the University of Massachusetts Lowell in the fall to study Mechanical Engineering and Robotics.
The Eagle Scout Court of Honor for Paul Beliveau will be held Sunday, July 10, 2016 at the Walpole Town Hall, 34 Elm Street at 3 PM. The Public is invited to attend.
And if you attend, this is the young man you will see today:
Congratulations, Paul. – Lil
New Library Website
“Have you seen it? The library’s website is brand new! Maybe you’ve heard about our software update, and to go along with it they’ve created a new, user friendly, up to date website! It’s still very much a work in progress, but they wanted to have it up and running so you can access your library card account from home to browse the catalog and renew books! Let the library know if you have any issues logging in with your old password. They’ve had to reset a few, and that is easy to do! Just give them a call. Also feel free to let us know if you have any questions about or suggestions for the website! walpoletownlibrary.org “
