You’ve seen our top Facebook and Instagram posts from 2014, now it’s time for our top tweets. This past year on Twitter we’ve kept you informed about events like our Star Island Block Party, and projects like our solar array installation and front porch reconstruction. You can expect more of the same in 2015, but why just read about it through tweets? Register online for summer 2015 on Star Island and experience it for yourself.
Solar Powered
Solar power is our middle name.
Whoa. 100% of power for #StarIslandNH has been solar since November 19. It’s definitely not our busy time of year, but still impressive.

#GivingTuesday Support
This past #GivingTuesday we were so fortunate to have a number of people share why Star Island is important to them. This post, by Peter Squires, was our most popular tweet of our supporters that day.
The reason @PETER_SQUIRES gives to #StarIslandNH: “I can’t imagine a world without it.” #GivingTuesday pic.twitter.com/qSOp4nyFyN

Everyone Loves History
Also popular on our Facebook feed, #ThrowbackThursday is one way we share our history throughout the year. Even when the pictures are of nothing dramatic, like this one showing Fred McGill completing a chalkboard schedule, people still love it. We’ll just call that the Fred McGill factor.
Here’s legendary Shoaler Fred McGill writing the chalkboard schedule in the 60’s. #ThrowbackThursday pic.twitter.com/IQe6oA9MIw

Star is TV Famous
Okay, that’s a bit of a stretch, but we did appear as the host location for two shows that aired in New Hampshire in 2014 including a week of NH Chronicle, and Fritz Wetherbee’s Haunted New Hampshire episode.

Double the Fun
Why have one rainbow when you could have two?

Stormy Picture
One of the most beautiful things on Star Island is to watch a summer storm quickly pass by with lightning flashes in the distance. Sometimes the storms get a little close though, as with this picture taken by one of our volunteer medical staff.
We escaped damage and disruptions from #Arthur but we did manage to get some great #stormy views. pic.twitter.com/yAtN5SX4Sl

Apply Yourself
The December/January time in our office is busy as we prepare for online registration and Pelican applications. As many youth have grown up dreaming of when they will become Pelicans, the application process is something of a big deal. Our 2015 applications are also up, in case you are interested.
It’s kind of like writing a love letter, but it’s really just filling out a job application. Apply for summer ’14 Pel http://t.co/JEkx5unSDJ
