Lakes Region Reflections

Sometimes, the things that are most beautiful about the Lakes Region cannot easily be seen with the eye.

For instance, this is "gotlunchlaconia" Week.

About a dozen local restaurants are contributing some of their lunchtime revenues to support the local Got Lunch! program; they'll help feed needy local kids who normally eat their midday meal in school.

The program started today with T-Bones, Cactus Jack's, the North Country Deli and that old standby the Soda Shoppe.

But tomorrow (Tuesday), you can enjoy a meal at the downtown Village Bakery, Burrito Me in the old Victorian train station, or at Fratello's on Union Avenue and support the cause.

Wednesday is when Hart's Turkey Farm, the Lyon's Den in Gilford and Hector's downtown will be joining in.

And Thursday, your mid-day repast at Patrick's Pub & Eatery in Gilford, the acclaimed Tavern 27 on North Main Street, and the Brick Front downtown will help out.

Just tell them you want part of your bill to go to support the Got Lunch! program...

If you'd like to offer more help - or know a family that could use the support, go to Got Lunch? for details.

BTW, one of the forces behind the Got Lunch! program is - (who else?) Alan Robichaud, the community development director of the Lakes Region United Way.

It's no big surprise to the folks who know Alan - he loves the Lakes City and does everything he can to support a healthy, growing community.

That's why he was given the first-ever "Heart of the City" award by Citizens Bank and WMUR-TV recently.

Besides his work with the United Way, Alan serves with the Belknap County Economic Development Council, Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, Family Resource Center of Central New Hampshire and the Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health...

He's the kind of guy who keeps the sun coming up everyday, even in hard times...

And how about this from those smarty folks over at the New Hampton School?

Some of the kids there read William Kamakwamba's "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" this past summer, and got the bright idea of following in the character's footsteps.

So the engineering class is designing and building a working wind turbine and plans to write a book about their experience.

To fund the project, they've gone on kickstarter.com, the world's largest independent fundraiser for creative projects. Lake Region Wind Project Fund

Life is rich here.
