New London, NH (USA)

After work (1645), I drove down to New London so I could attend the Lake Sunapee VNA Summer Party (1730).  You might ask: why would he go to that?  Answer: since I'm investigating/researching volunteer and philanthropic opportunities in the Upper Valley, this seemed right up my alley.  The event was conducted at Colby-Sawyer College and there was a great view of Mount Kearsarge behind the venue.  Almost everyone there was a staff member or Medical Professional but I did meet other people who were like me.  I spoke with some folks from the New London Hospital and also met a guy to was a Navy A-7 pilot in Vietnam (and had made Lake Sunapee his home in the 1970s).  During the proceedings, I learned a lot about the organization and they had some good food (I also got a drink ticket for a free Flying Goose Citrus Soul Patch beer).  It actually rained while we were there but the tent kept us dry.  Before leaving, I checked out the Ivey Science Building.  After a pretty easy drive on I-89, I was home again by 2000.  A fun evening!
