Cub Scout Mum Sale
The Walpole Cub Scout Pack 299 will soon be taking orders for their Mum Fall Fundraiser. All proceeds from this fundraiser pay for scout activities and registrations. This year the sale will start August 7th, and go through September 7th, unless we sell out before then.
This is a very popular fundraiser and we have a limited number of mums to sell. Please place your order early to make sure you get your Mums! Last year we sold out quickly.
Mums are between 15 to 18 inches in diameter and are planted in 9.5” pots. Colors available are red, white, yellow, orange-bronze, and purple/pink. We are selling them for $20.00 each.
Mums will be available for pick-up on Sunday, September 20th, on the Walpole Town Common between 9:00 and 10:00am. You can place your order by finding a Cub Scout from Pack or you can call Debbie Pawelczyk at 603-445-5475.

August 2026 Clarion Closing Date – 7/22/26
Time again for your submissions for the August 2026 CLARION. Closing date for the August issue is Wednesday, July 22 – 5 pm Walpole time. – or earlier if you can. Submission guidelines, and contact email are on the CLARION website.
August is always a “light month” for the CLARION with folks away, school not in session, thus fewer activities to write about. Biggest thing in this coming issue for you to read about is the Monday August 17 Special Town Meeting for voting on a bond to build a new Police Station from 7 – 9 pm. But, if you have something to share with the Walpole community, please send it along for possible inclusion.
Your early submissions are always welcome and appreciated as I start developing the layout well beforehand. If you have some “news” send it along. In addition, I like to have on-hand material of interest that is not time-sensitive to fill space to round out a pleasing issue. So, if you would “like to be in print” and have something to write and share (images as well), send along for possible inclusion space permitting. Please do remember, it is the advertisers in each issue that make this community publication possible, so please support and thank them.
If you have any questions, or interest in placing an advertisement, reaching over 1900 Walpole, North Walpole and Drewsville addresses, I welcome your inquiries, so please do get in touch with me. Advertising information and contact information is on the CLARION website.
Thank you, RAY BOAS, Publisher
FMRSD Cooperative Review Committee
The Fall Mountain Regional School Board is seeking diverse representation from across our district—including residents, staff, parents and leadership to serve on the newly established District Cooperative Review Committee.
This committee will conduct a comprehensive review of our cooperative school district and help ensure its long-term sustainability. The committee will focus on three key areas:
- Articles of Agreement – Review the current Articles of Agreement and recommend any necessary updates or amendments.
- Apportionment – Evaluate the district’s current cost-sharing methodology to determine whether it remains fair and equitable for member towns.
- Cooperative Structure – Assess the overall governance and operational structure of the cooperative to identify opportunities that best support students, communities, and taxpayers into the future.
The School Board is seeking individuals who are interested in contributing their time, perspectives, and expertise to this important work. We encourage residents from all member towns, staff and individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences to consider serving.
The committee’s first meeting will be held on Monday, August 3, at 5:30 p.m. in the Fall Mountain Regional High School Library. Meetings will continue on the first and third Mondays of each month, with an anticipated recommendation to the board by November 2027.
If you are interested in serving, please complete this brief interest form. We will attempt to develop equal representation across the district. If selected, we will be in touch with next steps.
We appreciate your time and commitment as we work together to strengthen our cooperative district for the benefit of our students, staff and community.
The Walpolean
