May 2026 — PLC is pleased to announce that Patty Blake of Francestown has joined the PLC Board of Trustees.  She was elected by the  current board to fill an open seat from now through our annual business meeting this fall.  Since retiring from a 39-year banking career in 2023, Patty has taken on the role of a public-school paraprofessional working with special needs students.  She has also served on several other local boards, including the Monadnock United Way and the Greater Keene & Peterborough Chamber of Commerce, where she was Board Chair during the merger of the two organizations. Patty and her husband David have been residents of Francestown for twenty-five years and spend every opportunity exploring the trails and backroads in the area. They also spend as much time as they can hiking in the White Mountains.
