Rockingham County
Commissioner’s Letter
Spring is just around the corner and Winter is beginning to
slowly be in the rear-view mirror. I am excited to see more
sunshine and longer daylight, flowers and trees blossoming
with new life, and the warmer temperatures allowing us to
be outside enjoying the fresh air.

Make no mistake, we all have seen what the last year has
brought with the Covid -19 virus. Social Distancing (no more
hugs or handshakes), wearing masks that hide smiling faces,
fear of the unknown and not being able to visit our loved
ones. We have learned a lot from these life changes. But just
like the four seasons, we are on our way forward and we are
starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Soon, we will
be getting back to life as we once have known or as close as
possible.

I want to first thank all the staff here at the County for your
hard work and dedication over the last year. Without you,
Rockingham County would not be the best run County in the
State of NH. It is you who have put in the hard work and                      Inside this issue
dedication in making our nursing home residents as
comfortable as possible through these dark days, and we are         Commissioner’s Letter………… 1
