MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Summer 2018 at the Center… The TTCC just wrapped up another wonderful summer season. Kudos to our amazing staff that weathered extreme heat and rainy days and managed to keep the energy level up while enter-taining 130 active campers. We had many great collaborations that enhanced the experience for our kids. Thanks to the Slim Baker Foundation for Outdoor Living for the use of their amazing area throughout the summer, Minot Sleeper Library for the pro-gramming they offered throughout the summer; Newfound Lake Region Association for another great year of our WOW Camp partnership; Bristol Fire Department for the ‘spray days’ and all the families that shared their children with us. Our Westward Bound Teen Expedition brought 12 incoming fresh-man to California this year. The group was able to experience the Redwoods, visit the tallest lighthouse on the west coast, explore Glass Beach, tour Alcatraz and San Francisco. They built great relationships with the trip chaperones, High School Principal, Paul Hoiriis, Social Studies Teacher, Amy Doolin, and TTCC staff Matt Seaver and Leslie Dion. This trip is made possible through many donations from local businesses. We are grateful to Iron Hammer Stoneworks, Dunkin Donuts of Bristol, Twin Designs, Granite Group Realty, Gilly’s Restaurant, Bristol Rotary Club, TTCC Teen Council and Basic Ingredients. Your support truly makes a differ-ence to these kids! We wrapped up the summer with Old Home Day and our Annual Lobster & Chicken Supper. The attendance was great and we owe a huge thank you to Gilly’s Restaurant for pies & supplies, Hanna-ford for the roles and lobster connections, Basic Ingredients for delicious pies and all of the bakers that donated pies and cakes. There were so many volunteers that day helping with the day’s activities. From working the booths to running the games and prepping, serving and cleaning up for the dinner. It would be im-possible to name them all but know that without you we could not have had such a successful day and dinner!! Wishing everyone a wonderful Fall from all of us at the TTCC…

One of the biggest annual sporting events in the Newfound Area is the New Hampshire Marathon! The 26th Annual Event is scheduled for Saturday, September 29th, 9am. We expect over 600 runners will participate in the 26.2 mile run and its fellow events including a 13.1 half marathon, 10K road race & kids race. Not only does the field fea-ture many local runners, but also has attracted runners from 45 different states and 10 different countries. With the help of their generous sponsors, the NH Marathon has raised and donated over $250,000 since 1995 to local youth-centered non-profit organizations. This event also benefits the local economy by bringing in many athletes and families who support local businesses. Participants in the 10K run and marathon will begin on Lake Street, in front of the Newfound Memorial Middle School while the Half Mara-thoners start at Sculptured Rocks in Groton. Downtown Bristol traffic going both ways will be temporarily delayed while runners start out (North Main Street will remain open as a detour).
A big event means the NEED FOR VOLUNTEERS is greater than ever with many tasks required to ensure the safety of participants, spectators and drivers. Jobs include helping with registration, parking cars, directing traffic, manning water stops along the route and assisting at the finish line. If you would like to be part of this amazing annu-al event, please contact the Race Director at [email protected]. Also, Carroll Brown, aka The Solitary Man, will once again light up the festivities with his one-man band at the finish line!
For those interested in participating, registration is still open! Entry fees up to the day of the races are $70 for the Marathon, $55 for the Half Marathon & $30 for the 10K Road Race. Check in time will be 7:00-8:45am on race day in the NMMS cafeteria **HALF MARATHONERS MUST CHECK IN BY 8AM ON SATURDAY—LAST BUS LEAVES AT 8AM SHARP!!! Pre-registered runners may also check in on Friday 9/28 from 4:30-6:30pm. Those interested in the pasta dinner on Friday 9/28 may pre-register for $8 or at the door for $10, 5-7:30pm.
