Dear –FNAME–,
I hope you’ve had some time to connect with family and friends as the holiday season continues. With the Winter Holiday Stroll behind us, we are looking forward to taking a step back and reflecting on a year of vibrancy programs, and setting the course for 2018.
âââââââAfter you are done reading about all the great things coming up here in Downtown Nashua, would you take a moment to offer us some feedback on our 2017 programs? Your input will help us as we work to grow and improve! Downtown Nashua is becoming more vibrant each and every day, and you are a big part of that. Please take a few minutes to fill out our survey here: Take Our Survey.
Be well, and stay warm!
-Paul

Our photo of the week was sent by Gate City Striders, Caroline Cline, picturing costumed participants on the way from Marthaâs Exchange to the Gate City Striders Novemberfest Race held on Nov. 20 to raise money for the Nashua Childrenâs Home.
Do you have some great pictures of our vibrant Downtown you’d like to show off? Post them to our Facebook page, or send them to us by email! We love to share images that capture the beauty and excitement of Downtown Nashua.
Without further ado, here is what’s going down and coming up in Downtown Nashua!

December Rooted Sisters Circle
@ Tangled Roots Herbal

|
|

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7
6:30-8pm
Join with your local sisters to honor each other in our journeys in sacred space. Spend the evening welcoming the light and talking about how the light manifests in our own lives, and even have a little candle craft to take home!
There is no cost for Tangled Roots Herbal’s Sister Circles; TRH asks for donations, with 100% going to a different charity each month. For December, in lieu of monetary donations, we ask women to bring an unopened toy to donate to Nashua PAL; they do so much work for the local kids who won’t have happy holidays otherwise, but recently their funding was severely cut and they can’t give the underprivileged and at risk youth a good holiday season without our help.
