Friends Annual Meeting/NH Humanities and Friends of Conway PL Presents, Poor Houses and Town Farms: The Hard Row for Paupers
From its earliest settlements New Hampshire has struggled with issues surrounding the treatment of its poor. The early Northeastern colonies followed the lead of England's 1601 Poor Law, which imposed compulsory taxes for maintenance of the poor but made no distinction between the "vagrant, vicious poor" and the helpless, and honest poor. This confusion persisted for generations and led directly to establishment in most of the state's towns of alms houses and poor farms and, later, county institutions which would collectively come to form a dark chapter in New Hampshire history.

Make and Take....the Toxic Out of Cleaning
It’s easy to assume that anything you buy at a store must be safe, but in reality, that’s not the case. The most that you will probably find on a toxic cleaning product is a warning label accompanied by a poison-control hotline number to call if the product is accidently ingested.
Most of us grew up with the understanding that what we purchased at the store would be safe and healthy for us to bring into our homes. In reality,the cleaning products we expose to ourselves and our loved ones are full of chemicals and toxins that are making us sick.
