NHBR About Town: Granite United Way

NH Business Review Staff,

At its recent 2011 Southern Region Campaign Celebration, the Granite United Way presented its Chairman’s Award to boys from the Mayhew Program. Each summer, the Bristol-based Mayhew Program hosts an annual tuition-free summer camp for at-risk New Hampshire boys. Last year, more than half the boys at the camp chose to donate some of their ‘Mayhew Money’ — which they earn each time they complete a work project — to the Granite United Way, which totaled the equivalent of $185. Pictured at the ceremony are, from left, Bill Sherry of National Grid and 2011 campaign chair; Maria Gudinas, vice president of resource development at Granite United Way; Emmanuel Alisandro, Bennett Davis and Caelan McCormack from Mayhew; and Gov. John Lynch.

Unbottling the Nongfu Spring deal

New Hampshire’s attorney general says no improprieties by state officials preceded the sale of a large Nashua commercial building to China’s largest water bottler. But Attorney General John Formella’s report to Gov. Kelly Ayotte dated Oct. 3 says the provisions of federal law should have taken place prior to the sale of the 337,391-square-foot building at 80 Northwest Blvd. in Nashua by a subsidiary of Nongfu Spring.
