Meet the co-owner of Social Club Creamery Sarah Glaude named Concord’s Young Professional of the Month for HR, and I bring this passion to every aspect of my professional and personal life. This dual perspective — working full-time in a business while also owning one — gives me a unique insight that I believe adds value to my role as an Am-

bassador for the Concord Young Professionals Network (CYPN).

What is being a CYPN Ambassador all about? In my role as a CYPN Ambassador, my primary responsibility is to create a wel-

Sarah Glaude

COURTESY

Concord Young Professionals Network (CYPN) introduces you to the “Young Professional of the Month,” Sarah Glaude. Each month, the CYPN Steering Committee recommends an individual in the community it thinks readers would enjoy getting to know better.

Where do you live? Laconia, NH. Where do you currently work? As the Human Resources Manager for Mason + Rich, P.A. and the coowner of Social Club Creamery in Laconia and Concord, I am deeply passionate about fostering both internal and external connections. My love for working with people is at the heart of my enthusiasm

coming environment at our events, particularly for new attendees. We strive to make everyone feel included and connected, fostering a sense of community that extends beyond the events themselves. Our work goes beyond just hosting events; we actively promote community engagement, particularly within the downtown Concord area.

Why is the Greater Concord area important to you? My connection to Concord is personal as well as professional — I lived downtown for two years, a period that I look back on

and miss. Concord perfectly balances vibrancy and intimacy, where you can enjoy a bustling community and form meaningful connections. As a business owner in Concord, I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with other local business owners, forming a network that strengthens our downtown community. My work at Mason + Rich has further expanded my professional network, allowing me to build relationships through organizations like CYPN, Intown Concord, and Riverbend Community Mental Health. These connections are incredibly valuable to me, not just in a profes-

sional sense, but personally as well. I believe in the power of community and am committed to contributing to the growth and well-being of Concord.

What’s your favorite place to go in Concord?

Grabbing a coffee from Brother’s Cortado or Revelstoke and enjoying it on the Capitol lawn is a simple pleasure I cherish.

What’s your favorite memory in Concord? A memorable summer evening in 2021 perfectly encapsulates why I love this city. My husband and I had a craving for sushi and decided to head to Main Street, ultimately finding ourselves at the Concord Food Co-op. As we walked through the beautiful, sunlit streets, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for living in such a vibrant, welcoming place. This sense of connection — to the people, the

places, and the community — is what drives me every day.

What’s your favorite restaurant in Concord? Revival Kitchen & Bar is a personal favorite for its farmto-table cuisine, and I love the rotating menu that keeps things fresh.

What is one of your life goals? While Concord holds a special place in my heart, I also have a love for travel, particularly to Europe — Greece, Italy, and France.

What do you like to do for fun? Beyond my professional and community roles, I am always seeking new ways to challenge myself and grow. Recently, I’ve taken up running and am currently training for a half marathon. I love being outdoors, whether I’m kayaking or just enjoying a sunny day with my husband or friends. I’m also a fan of

escape rooms, true crime podcasts, and reading — activities that engage my mind and keep me curious.

How did you find out about CYPN and how has it benefitted your business or you personally? I discovered CYPN through Mason + Rich, as our firm is actively engaged with the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce. Being part of CYPN has greatly expanded my network of connections, providing invaluable opportunities to hone my networking skills. It has enabled collaborations and lasting friendships.

What other organizations are you involved with? This year, I set a goal to be more active in the community, and I’m proud to say I’ve made significant strides. In addition to my role as a CYPN Ambassador, I joined the board of Intown Concord, where I

am chairing the Halloween Howl Committee. I also joined the board of Riverbend Community Mental Health, where I advocate for mental health awareness and support services, and work to reduce stigma surrounding mental health issues. Additionally, I am an active member of the Human Resources Association of Greater Concord, where I contribute to the marketing committee.

Who is your greatest role model? My journey has been greatly influenced by the leadership of my two directors at Mason + Rich, Leslie Walker and Andrew Luce. Leslie’s courage, respect, and tenacity have made her a role model for me, and I admire the strong community relationships she has built. Andrew’s thoughtful and methodical approach to projects, along

with his focus on goal-setting, has taught me the importance of calm and strategic thinking. Both have inspired me to strive for these qualities in my own personal and professional life.

Franklin Opera House is pleased to present Dueling Pianos on Sept. 21, at the Franklin Elks Lodge. Always a popular event, they’re back again for another rollicking good time! Dueling Pianos of New Hampshire brings fast-paced, request-driven fun in a non-stop, high-energy show where YOU pick the set list!

The fun starts at 7:30 p.m. Franklin Elks will be hosting a cash bar.

The concept of Du-

eling Pianos can be traced back to the late 19th century, with its roots in classical music competitions. This captivating performance style has evolved dramatically. In the late 20th century the concept boomed into the dynamic fusion of melody, joy, and engaging audience participation we celebrate today.

Join your friends on Sept. 21 at Franklin Elks Lodge #1218 for a smashing good time!

Two new festivals will bring art, music and reading to the streets of downtown this October.

Bringing more than 50 authors to Concord, the New Hampshire Book Festival will land in Concord on Oct. 4-5.

Novelist Jean Hanff Korelitz and Kate DiCamillo, known for her children’s novels like “Because of Winn-Dixie” and “The Tale of Despereaux,” will be keynote speakers. Those events are ticketed, but most of the festival, including panels, booths and book signings, are open to the public.

As its name would suggest, the Sound and Color festival will host live music and other performances alongside artists markets and public art installations on Oct. 18-19. A twoday, fully free event, its mission is to “remove all barriers to arts access and promote the importance of the

arts community to the region and beyond.”

A slew of performers with nationwide roots, from the Adam Ezra Group to Yonder Mountain String Band, will bring their sounds to multiple stages across the city, with shows lasting until 10 p.m. Free tickets will be required to attend shows at the Capital Center.

The Concord Arts Market, Queerlective and independent vendors will show off local art, from tiedye to ceramics, on South Main Street, closing at 7 p.m.

Both events were recipients of money from the City of Concord via a $150,000 discretionary fund that the city manager’s office used to support new festivals.

With both festivals making their Concord debut in October, the city’s natural fall colors are bound to be on display as both festivals mark the drawdown of the city’s 2024 festival season.

After helping win the war by doing all sorts of jobs - being mechanics, factory workers, and dispatch riders - young women are seeing their freedoms and jobs being taken away from them. And society is beginning to change.

This is a great story with charming characters, humor, and some daring ex-

ploits. It also deals with serious issues of prejudice and hardships after the war. If you like historical fiction with lively, unusual characters, you should give The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club a try.

Helen Simonson is also author of The Summer Before the War and Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand. I really enjoyed reading those two novels as well.

clude a fall bird search through the trails to catch those migrating individuals (and those that stay all year).

Anyone enamored with the sight of migrating birds and butterflies won’t want to miss the Scientist Spotlight, where biologists Carol Foss and Diane De Luca present their challenges and accomplishments through the Motus

program. Motus isn’t an acronym; it’s Latin for “movement”! Biologists attach small radio transmitters called nanotags to birds, bats, and even large insects like Monarch butterflies to study their migration patterns.

A picnic lunch will be provided, followed by the annual Business Meeting, Annual Awards, and Membership Milestones recogni-

tion.

The day ends with a Keynote Address by Sara Robertson Morris, Executive Director at Shoals Marine Laboratory. Sara has been the Director of the Appledore Migration Station on Appledore Island for the past three decades, responsible for all aspects of the station researching bird migration through Spring and Fall bird

banding efforts. Her ties to the island run the gamut from lecturing and teaching courses about marine science, field ornithology and ecology to supporting SML’s necessary functions.

She recently accepted a position as the new Executive Director at Shoals Marine Laboratory and has been the President-Elect of the American Ornithological Society since 2022. She also

holds Professor Emeritus status at Canisius University and teaches at the Audubon Ecology Camp in Maine.

Art gallery opens colorful new exhibit The upcoming exhibition at Two Villages Art Society (TVAS) in Hopkinton, N.H., features the work of Bedford, N.H., artist Marcie Roberts. The exhibition, “Colorful Contemplations, Abstract Realities,” opens Saturday, Sept. 14, and runs through Oct. 12 at the gallery at 846 Main St. in the village of Contoocook.

An opening reception from

noon-2 p.m. on Saturday Sept. 14 is free and open to the public, and will offer light refreshments, as well as live music by cellist Gary Hodges.

Marcie Roberts’ acrylic paintings are bright and colorful, and often whimsical. She is inspired by master artists as well as the students she has taught. She feels a special connection

with the Spanish masters, including Dali, El Greco and Goya, and the fantasy artist James Christensen.

Roberts has taught Spanish, painting, and other art classes at the Derryfield School and taught elementary and middle school students in her own studio.

Now, she focuses on her art. “I am always exploring new mediums and direc-

“My range of artwork experience runs the gamut from murals in children’s rooms to custom commission paintings, decorative furniture, logos, and pamphlets to set design and set painting—all of which brings me to where I am as an artist today.”

Largely self-taught, Roberts has taken classes in portraiture, still life, architectural renderings, and art history and developed an eclectic mixed-media portfolio. “My subject matter comes full circle back to images I see in nature, expressions on people’s faces and both organic abstracts and

Founded Sept. 18, 1895 Davenport, Iowa

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

chiropractic Harvey Lillard was a deaf janitor who worked in the Ryan Building on Brady Street in Davenport, Iowa. He was the first person to receive a chiropractic adjustment, which restored his hearing! D.D. Palmer founded chiropractic and opened Palmer School of Chiropractic following this healing miracle.

Lillard maintained the corner building where Palmer had his office on the 4th floor. In September 1895 he told Palmer that he had lost most of his hearing and was almost completely deaf. Lillard added that he "could not hear the racket of a wagon on the street or the ticking of a watch."

When asked how he had become deaf he replied that, 17 years before, while bent over in a cramped, stooping position he "heard something pop" in his spine" and immediately lost most of his hearing.

Palmer offered to take a look at Lillard's spine and found a lump just between his shoulders; he persuaded Lillard to allow him to "rack his bone back into position." Palmer reasoned that Lillard's hearing loss was due to a misalignment that blocked the spinal nerves which control the inner ear and adjusted the vertebrae back into place.

After a few days, Lillard said that his hearing was better and almost completely restored. *Results vary Chiropractic was born!

Chiropractic… life is better well-adjusted.
