Concord Firefighter Andy Davis receives an angel from Wish Child Emily, 9, of Center Harbor. The paper angels are a product of the New Hampshire Credit Union League’s fundraising campaign, “Adopt-an-Angel,” for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Hampshire. Angels are being sold for $3 each or two for $5 at credit unions across the state to help make wishes come true for children battling life-threatening conditions.

Remember our mystery swimmer from last week? We found out that this is none other than Craig James Barnard, who participated in the swim-a-thon at the YMCA to raise money for the Chaplains Emergency Relief Fund. Craig swam 30 laps! That’s pretty amazing, seeing as we don’t swim laps as a general rule.
