Arrowhead Upcoming Work Session and News |
As of now we are planning on a winter season. There will probably be some changes in procedures and capacity restrictions. Have not finalized guidelines yet.
In the mean time we have tasks to do to prepare for the upcoming season, most are individual tasks. Work sessions will be;
Saturday October 10th starting at 9:30, put in whatever time you want. Have some fence maintenance, brush sawing and other tasks.
Then over the next two weekends; Saturday October 17th and 24th, same time frame. Would like to clean up and start inflating tubes, still more brush sawing, putting up fences, putting up signs, install lift handles, probably more fence work and putting out picnic tables.
Would like to get multiple people to do brush sawing and tube maintenance, this will take multiple weeks. If you have other days available we can arrange for you to help out most any day and time. Will have work session every Saturday going forward, except for Saturday October 31st.
As for winter operational help, we had some experienced help move out of the area so we disparately need help on the lifts, in the ski shop, ski and snowboard instructors, and in concessions. If you or if you know people who would like to volunteer at Arrowhead please get in touch with us
Arrowhead also needs organizational people both upfront and behind the scenes. For club officers, board of director positions, public relations, marketing, grant research / writing and other areas. If interested please contact us.

Sullivan County Receives Over $1.7 Million for Lead Paint Abatement |
October 2, 2020, Newport, NH: Sullivan County was recently notified it has been awarded $1,703,524 from Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to eliminate lead-based paint hazards for low income families. The County was one of 15 first-time recipients of this funding. In all, there were 44 grants approved and a total of nearly $165 million.
The funding is comprised of two sources: $1,303,524 is for lead hazards and $400,000 is from the “healthy homes” program which will provide flexibility to address other health & safety deficiencies that are unrelated to lead hazards. The County will have 42 months to do the work.
According to Sullivan County Manager Derek Ferland, “This is outstanding news for Sullivan County and we look forward to making a positive impact in our communities by protecting families—especially those with young children. The City of Claremont has demonstrated tremendous leadership on this issue and we are pleased to partner with them to obtain these resources.”
This grant caps off a multi-year effort of a partnership comprised of the Claremont Lead Action Team, the Greater Sullivan County Regional Public Health Network, and Sullivan County. This group has been working together to develop new approaches to combat childhood lead poisoning and improve the county’s housing stock. A planning grant that was awarded to Dartmouth-Hitchcock from the Environmental Public Health Tracking Program of NH Department of Health and Human Services helped the team evaluate existing lead abatement programs. As a result of that effort, the group determined a large HUD grant was the best way to make meaningful progress to eradicate lead hazards.
Over 80 percent of homes in Sullivan County were built prior to 1978, which was the year lead-based paint was banned in the United States.
Sullivan County’s staff will lead the next steps which include hiring a program manager and certified lead inspector to oversee the program. Once on board, they will process applications and coordinate with qualified contractors to do the work. In the meantime, interested homeowners, landlords, tenants, or contractors should contact Sullivan County.

In a way to help show off our region, one of the projects I’m collecting pictures for is to highlight on county war memorials and to display these in a video on our Sullivan County New Hampshire Government Facebook page and through the video banner of pictures on the website www.sullivancounty.gov during Memorial Day weekend 2021.
Yes, lots of advance planning 😊 as I hope to collect pictures capturing all our New England four seasons! If you have, or know anyone who has, pictures that would be great for this project, please feel free to send the pictures to commissioners@sullivancountynh.gov with info about where the memorial is located and who took the picture.
P.s. War memorials are not the only pictures we would enjoy receiving. If you have other scenic views of the region, don’t hesitate to share those, too. Thank you.
