The Save Our Gale School Committee began with a handful of people who were concerned about the future of the Gale School Building located in Belmont, N.H. This Historic Landmark had a different meaning for each, and each of us had different ideas and opinions. One thing they had in common was to save this Historic Landmark.
Therefore, these individuals decided to hold its first organizational meeting on Wednesday, August 9, 2006. The committee decided to raise funds in support of saving the Gale School Building from complete and utter destruction by trying to work with the community and other local governing bodies to find a solution to the problem.
The group decided to look into available grant opportunities, funding options, and other programs that may be of assistance, and committed to raising funds to lessen the burden on taxpayers in the event the building could be saved. Each member agreed to look at the many avenues regarding building use, removal, and demolition, keeping taxpayers and the community heritage foremost in mind. All agreed that the Gale School is a significant building worth fighting for, and therefore the committee was formed as a non-profit 501 (c) 3 tax deductible organization.
The committee consists of fourteen members at the present time, but additional members are more than welcome to join the group. The purpose of the group is to stay focused on saving the Gale School, and working diligently for saving the structure entirely weather in its current location or not. Keeping an open mind with with the determination of finding the right solution to the problem.
In 2007, the Shaker Regional School District's Building Needs Committee decided the building should be relocated to the site at the corner of Concord Street and Memorial Drive. Our Committee supports their efforts to save the structure, and now we are raising funds to move the building to its new location.
