Return to index of stories... 		Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to this special edition of New Hampshire Outlook.
A new nationwide survey sheds new light on who we are. and where we're headed as a society.
The "Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey" released March first, is based on the research of Harvard Professor and Jaffrey resident Robert Putnam. He's the author of "Bowling Alone" a bestseller about the collapse and revival of "social capital" in America. Chip Neal begins our focus tonight with a conversation with Mr. Putnam who defines the issue.
OUT:

Return to index of stories... 		New Hampshire was one of the states that participated in the social capital survey.
Last week Lew Feldstein, director of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation joined Elizabeth Tonkins-Ahaya, a neighborhood activist in Rochester and Barbara MacLeod in-studio to talk about what we learned about ourselves in the study.

script iconIntro Country Stores
Return to index of stories... 		There was a time in New Hampshire when country stores were a vital part of the community. The town's residents would go there to buy groceries, bait and hardware. But just as importantly, the stores provided a place for people to socialize. Today, many are closing because they can't compete with large retail chains. But, as Laura Knoy tells us, what's left is a void that some communities are finding a need to fill.
