Special Event for Award-Winning Local Cause Starts Thurs.

The Poker Room at 1 Lafayette Road in Hampton Falls will host a five-day fundraiser starting Thursday for the Winnacunnet Dollars for Scholars program.

A portion of all proceeds at the charitable gaming establishment between Dec. 19 and Dec. 23 will go to Winnacunnet Dollars for Scholars, which provides scholarships to Winnacunnet High School graduates.

Winnacunnet Dollars for Scholars was recently selected as the Irv Fradkin National Affiliate of the Year by Scholarship America. 

"The National Affiliate of the Year Award honors and recognizes Dollars for Scholars affiliates that have performed outstanding service to their community and that exemplify the commitment of Dollars for Scholars, a program of Scholarship America®, to making postsecondary success possible for all students," wrote the program in a recent post on Patch.

"Since 1961 Winnacunnet Dollars for Scholars, Inc. has raised over $2 million for scholarships and awarded over $1 million in scholarships to over 1,900 WHS graduates."



Also happening Thursday is an important meeting about new developments and construction, including a tall, four-story structure at Hampton Beach.
