Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Holiday Bell ringing Is returning again!
Saturday, December 6, 2025, 3:00 p.m.
Hanover’s First Congregational Church, 547 Hanover Street

The First Congregational Church of Hanover is once again honored to be
hosting the celebrated bell choir, The New England Ringers, as they present
their holiday concert named “The Light of Christmas”, celebrating Hope,
Wonder and Joy.
The concert will take place in their Sanctuary on Saturday, December 6, at
3:00 p.m.
The performers of New England Ringers are widely recognized in New England
for their excellent performances. This seasonal concert will feature
arrangements of Christmas Carols all creatively arranged for hand bells.
Before each selection begins, the ringers provide a description of the
various bells to be used. If you have attended their concerts before, you
know they are superb! What a festive way to begin December and to
celebrate the start of the season.
Reserve the date, bring family and friends, and rejoice in the glorious
sounds of the Bells.

PLEASE NOTE: This concert is available to all Hanover residents and
surrounding communities by a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council
and our Hanover Cultural Council. Thank you to both Councils for
contributing to this performance, and to the congregation for the fine
refreshments to be served following the concert.

Please contact the First Congregational Church office for more details at
781-826-4762 or David Fiske at hanover125@icloud.com .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced that Friday, November
28th is the last day to register to vote during the December 8th Special
Town Meeting. The Town Clerk’s Office will be open until 2:00 p.m. on
November 26th, and the Hanover Police Station will be open until 5:00 p.m.
on November 28th, and on-line registration will be available until 11:59
p.m. on the 28th. Please come to Town Hall or the Police Station if you
need to register in person. Read on for on-line registration information!

Any Hanover citizen who will be eighteen on or before the December 8th
Special Town Meeting is encouraged to register to vote. Once registered,
individuals will be eligible to vote in all elections thereafter. Further,
residents may “pre-register” to vote if they are age 16 or 17, but they
will not be eligible to vote until they turn 18.

Citizens of Hanover may conveniently register to vote or change their party
status on-line, by mail or in person. The link for on-line registration is
here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=wFgrEJqiSAWSCXFMUwbdf1NdmR/cKm02urtxgBHRzvdoqLt7nDO4RqoN783ZLADJ
. If residents choose to register by mail they should download the
“Massachusetts Mail-In Voter Registration Form” found here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=9UdczQVg8nCwmXZ0sUfJ/lNdmR/cKv02urtxgBHRzvdoqLt7nDPIRqoN783ZLADJ
and mail the completed form to the Hanover Town Clerk’s Office.

If voters wish to register to vote in person, they may do so at two
convenient locations: Hanover Town Hall or the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
“With automatic registration now the law of the land in Massachusetts,
very few people actually need to come in to register to vote”, said
Harder-Bernier. “However, what we do occasionally see is that people who
have moved recently and/or who have not updated their driver’s license –
those people do need to update their voter registration status. We also
sometimes see 18 year-olds who do not yet have driver’s licenses who need
to register to vote. We look forward to helping those folks!”, said
Harder-Bernier.

Questions may be directed to Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at
catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov , or Cindy Xing at
cindy.xing@hanover-ma.gov .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

You may remember an Around Town on the Web e-blast from about a month ago
on behalf of the Hanover Woman’s Club that suggested that residents shine
green outdoor light bulbs to show our support of our veterans here in
Hanover. The good folks at Hanover Crossing took that support to a whole
different level by displaying these same green bulbs all over the new
buildings at the former mall location.

I am delighted to share some photos, as attached.

With fond regards for those who currently serve and previously served us
and our country,

For “Around Town on the Web”,
