The Fuel Assistance Program aids New Hampshire families and seniors whose annual household income is at or below 60% of the State Median Income, the highest amount allowed by federal statute. For a family of four this year, that means an annual maximum income of $80,069. For a single-person household, the maximum income is $41,635. NH residents should contact their local Community Action Program (CAP) Agency to apply to the program.

Humanities Monday: How to Self-Publish Your Book with Tom Farmen
Monday, January 15 | 5:30 pm @ Whipple Hall
Free and open to the public
This fun presentation will briefly work through the checklist of items and the associated costs before your creative plot, dazzling photographs, delicious recipes, or expository masterpiece can find its way to a bookstore shelf or a stranger’s coffee table. Writing a book is generally easier and more enjoyable than self-publishing the manuscript. Holding that final product in your hands and noting the first sale is wonderfully gratifying and well worth the effort.
Seating is limited. Please RSVP to info@cfanh.org to reserve.

Wild Paints by Krystin Watts Shields

603-540-1913
A New Hampshire native, Krystin Watts Shields achieved a BFA in Illustration from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Ink and watercolor are her preferred mediums for their versatility; with ink providing the satisfying line work for her pieces, and watercolor providing the opportunity to layer and "paint with light" as Krystin describes it. From a young age, Krystin was steeped in both nature and fantasy, absorbing literary works from Orson Scott Card, and J.K. Rowling among others; and playing outdoors to the tune of her imagination. She has carried her love of the whimsical into the work that can be seen today. Krystin continues to hone her craft as a freelancer.
