PARC Dessert With Friends August 15, 2023 – Meet the candidates.

PARC Dessert With Friends August 15, 2023 – Meet the candidates.

Hello fellow patriots.

We are excited that for the 2024 elections we will have six Grafton County candidates who’ll be on the ballot for county-level-positions in Grafton County. 

Did you know that Grafton County is larger in square miles than the entire state of Rhode Island! 

It’s extremely helpful for these county-wide candidates to be able to address as many Grafton County voters in one spot like this.  So, let’s all show them a traditional PARC welcome and join them on August 15 at the PARC Dessert With Friends in Ashland.

Invited candidates include: 

 

  • County Commissioner – District 2 Nick DeMayo
  • County Commissioner – District 3 Omer Ahern, Jr.
  • County Treasurer – Brian Dear
  • EX Council Dist 2: Kim Strathdee
  • Register of Deeds – Daniel Werman
  • Sheriff – Todd Eck

Well give each candidate some time to tell us why we should vote for them and how we can assist.

We will likely find some additional local candidates in attendance who will be more than willing to chat with you before presentations.

 

Should be a great event.  Come join us. You’ll be glad you did.

Dessert With Friends – May 9, 2024

PARC is honored to host Bill O’Brien at our May 2024 Dessert With Friends. Bill will present his findings from his December trip to Israel where he was a member of a visiting team of national Republican leaders.  Among other things the team wanted to demonstrate their support for the only democracy in the Middle East, as its citizens dealt with the shock and consequences of the horrendous October 7 attacks.  Since then, Bill has sought to speak out as a witness to the depravity of Hamas and the courage of Israel as they now confront both Islamic Jihadists and a resurgence of Western antisemitism.

Bill’s political journey spans over two decades, including five terms in the NH House of Representatives, serving as Speaker from 2010 to 2012 and Republican Leader from 2014 to 2016.  Bill’s accomplishments are numerous. Including:

  • Spearheading a significant reduction in state spending by 18% to address an $800 million budget deficit without increasing taxes.
  • Numerous legislative reforms, such as implementing jury nullification and voter ID laws, introducing an online state checkbook, and eliminating over 80 business and consumer regulations.
  • Bill is currently serving as New Hampshire’s Republican National Committeeman.

Bill holds a Juris Doctorate from Suffolk University Law School and a Master’s in Intellectual Property Law from the University of New Hampshire Law School.

Bill and his wife, Roxanne, celebrate 50 years of marriage and have three children and seven grandchildren.

Come join us. You’ll be glad you did.

Special women-only seminar – February 25, 2023

The Mindset of the Empowered Woman™, a women-only seminar will educate and empower you and might just save your life. This is a women-only seminar that shatters the myth that most acts of violence are random and unpredictable.

This incredibly comprehensive 3 1/2-hour program empowers students by introducing the concepts of situational awareness and ‘Composite Risk Management’, explaining the four types of interpersonal violence, diagramming the five stages of violent criminal attacks and by breaking down the principles of ‘Social Engineering’, providing insight and a clear understanding of the tactics and methods of psychological manipulation that criminal predators rely upon to lure potential victims.

This program will also compare and contrast various self-defense system options, including pepper spray, firearms, martial arts, knives, and stun-guns to provide the student with the knowledge necessary to make the right personal choice in selecting a weapons system for self-defense.

The threat of violence surrounds us every day. The Mindset of the Empowered Woman teaches students how to recognize the danger signals that are so often missed… or ignored. This course will not only educate and empower you, but it might just save your life.

Since it was first developed in 2012 under the title of Elements of the Defensive Mindset™ this presentation has been delivered to well over 4,000 personal safety-minded individuals in over 25 states. including scores of law enforcement personnel. The developer, Keith Hanson, is a career law enforcement trainer with multiple instructor ratings in Tactical Counterterrorism, Active Shooter Response, Immediate Action/Rapid Deployment, Tactical Firearms, and SWAT Medic disciplines.
