Teresa Bohorquez

Director of Family Supports & Services

Hi, I am Teresa and I first came to the Grapevine as a parent with my youngest shortly after I moved to the area, over 10 years ago. I have been a better mother because of my time here, and I hope to continue to grow while working here and helping others on their parenting journey. I am so excited to be a part of the team as the new Director of Family Support and Services.

In my role, I am responsible for overseeing the family support programs, connecting with the community, and ensuring our services meet the needs of local families. My previous career has focused on a combination of working with and on behalf of families, children, and neurodivergent individuals. I am passionate about creating supportive environments where children can thrive and parents can feel empowered.

I hold a Master’s in Psychology Child Development, a Bachelor’s in Psychology Liberal Arts, and two Associate degrees in Psychology and Business Administration. I have spent my career focusing on how to support families and children in a way that builds strong communities.When I’m not at the Grapevine, I love to be outdoors kayaking and hiking, or sitting by a campfire with my two kids. I also enjoy spending time with animals, taking care of my plants, and admiring interesting rocks.

Children’s Enrichment

Hello, I’m Brenda. I always knew I wanted to be a part of The Grapevine in some way and here I am. I read, sing and create imaginary play with the children in the Better Beginnings and Hillsborough playgroup programs. I am also a volunteer for TACO (Teens Are Cooking Organization), a program of our Avenue A Teen Center.

Previously, my life was very busy working at Osram Sylvania in the stockroom and as a dedicated on-call EMT for the Antrim Ambulance for 22 years. In my career I found my passion as an instructor for the Academy of First Response. Most weekends I would travel to surrounding towns teaching the practical skills for new EMTs. It was a great way to give back to my community. Eventually, it was time to slow down and in 2023 I retired from Osram Sylvania after 44 amazing years.

I am happy in this new chapter of my life. I get to be a part of my community in a different way and it has been so rewarding! I’m so blessed to have a wonderful family and supportive friends. I live in Antrim with my husband where we raised our daughters. We have 3 wonderful grandchildren. If I am not working, I like to enjoy a hot cup of tea with my husband and play with our precious cat Meeka!

Out & About Co-Leader

Hi, I’m Maureen.  My first experience with the Grapevine was in 2021 when my daughter attended the Learning Vine preschool.  The following year my other daughter attended the Learning Vine.  As a family we also joined the Stay and Play group and attended special Grapevine events such as the annual Spring Walk and Snow Families Play Date.  

The Grapevine has been a wonderful place for me and my family to connect with other families, enjoy the creativity of play and support others in our communities. 

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art and Italian from Connecticut College and a Master of Science in Early Childhood Education from Saint Joseph’s University.  I taught second grade in Nashua and Amherst before staying home to raise my children in Francestown. Originally from Pennsylvania, I’ve also worked at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and taught many children to swim through swim lessons and swim coaching.  I love outdoor adventures, swimming, hiking, painting, running and especially spending time with my family.  I love living in the Monadnock region and taking advantage of all the wonderful local beauties and businesses.  I am excited to join the team at the Grapevine to lead outdoor adventures for families in our area.

Community Wood Bank

Please note for the 2025/2026 season, as we make plans to rebuild our wood shed, our heating wood supply may be limited this season.  If you have wood to donate, please contact us.

If you are in need of wood this season, please contact us at 603-588-2620.

Due to a limited supply of firewood, the wood bank is intended for urgent and emergency use only. The Grapevine also assists callers with long-term heating resources through the Southern NH Services fuel and electric assistance program.

The wood bank serves residents of Antrim, Bennington, Hancock, Francestown and nearby towns; and runs on donated wood and volunteer labor.
