Kiwanis fundraiser benefits local children’s charities CONWAY — Conway Scenic Railroad marked the end of its 2011 Notch Train season Oct. 16 with a special fund-raising excursion. Hosted by the Mount Washington Valley Kiwanis Club, the “Autumn Express” raised more than $11,000 that will benefit local children's charities that are supported by the club. “We couldn't have had this event without the generous support of our sponsors,” said Jeff Bailey, chair of the Autumn Express committee. “This is the fourth year in a row that Conway Scenic has provided our event venue. A very big thank you to Russ Seybold and the staff at the railroad for all their marketing and operational support." He also thanked media sponsors and local businesses that helped with advertising the event, as well as Chef ’s Market for meal support; Bob and Nancy Marquis for photographic equipments; and Sandy Hall and the Kennett High Art Department for painting the sign on the photo arbor. Baily especially thanked the Kiwanis Autumn Express Committee members who donated many hours to the event, and Kennett Key Club members who enthusiastically ran about the train delivering souvenir photos and helping with raffle sales. Russ Seybold, President and General Manager of the Railroad, said, “We were pleased to provide our train for a fun-filled day that benefited this very worthy organization,” adding, “The weather cooperated beautifully, and the event was a great success.” For more information on the Mount Washington Valley Kiwanis Club, visit www.mwvkiwanis.org.

FREEDOM — This year's Winter Film Series at Freedom Public Library begins Sunday, Jan. 15 with "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" starring Richard Gere. The 2009 movie, based on a true story of a Japanese professor in the 1920s and the dog he adopted, follows the story of a college professor who finds an Akita puppy wandering about in a train station and takes him in. What follows is a story of an unusual bond between man and beast. The six films in the series will be shown every other Sunday at 4 p.m. through March. As always, admission is free and so is the popcorn. This year the films will be follwed by a simple supper of soup and bread for anyone who would like to stay for a meal and a chance to talk about the film. The supper is free, though donations will be accepted. Other films in the series are: • Jan. 29: "The Hedgehog." This quiet French film stars a trio of unlikely characters. A precocious and articulate 11 year old planning her suicide on her 12th birthday, her elegant Japanese neighbor, and the grouchy concierge of the luxurious Paris apartment where they dwell all connect in ways that change them. This is a gentle and introspective movie. • Feb. 12: "Midnight in Paris." An ultra-romantic comedy by Woody Allen, this movie tells of Gil, a Hollywood screen writer (Owen Wilson) on vacation in Paris with his fiancée and her family, who is transported back in time to the Paris of the 1920s. Allen takes us through the glorious Paris of not one but three eras replete with enchanting characters of other times. • Feb. 26: "Submarine." Submarine is an amusing British coming-of-age story exploring the troubles of Oliver who, attempting to discover the ways of teenage love, at the same time has to deal with the marital problems of his parents. see FILMS page25
