Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Woman’s Club, Juniors, a local volunteer organization, is
celebrating its 55th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the club has
arranged a display of memorabilia showcasing its decades of service. The
exhibit is open to the public on the second floor of the John Curtis
Library throughout September.

The club’s first meeting was held on May 27, 1970, at the library. Bylaws
were established, the iris chosen as the club flower, and plans made for
future meetings. On June 17, 1970, the Director of Junior Clubs from the
GFWC of Massachusetts officially presented the club’s charter. Two
charter members remain active today—one turned 100 this past May and the
other celebrated her 90th birthday.

Over the decades, the club has led countless projects focused on education,
the arts, and civic engagement. In 1971, they launched a scholarship
program for Hanover High School seniors—awarding students in the arts,
community service, and academics (the latter for children of club members).
The awards continue today.

Candidates Night, a springtime tradition before town elections, began in
1972 and still takes place annually. Children have enjoyed events such as
Halloween parades, Breakfast with Santa, and trips to the Boston Symphony
for kids. A major accomplishment came in 1975, when the club raised $2,500
to install “Electric Arms” on 19 school buses, improving student
safety.

The club also led fundraising for the original bandstand at Sylvester Field
and contributed to the current one, along with the nearby Veterans
Memorial. In 1991 Members joined five local churches to create the Hanover
Food Pantry, which they continue to operate and support.

Members have attended GFWC state meetings and received numerous awards.
Most recently, the club was honored for contributions to domestic violence
awareness, its continued food pantry work, and supporting a Hanover High
student attending a youth leadership program.

Recent projects include crafting comfort bears for local police and fire
departments, sewing blankets for teens at the Home for Little Wanderers,
and assembling 44 “Birthday in a Box” kits for children experiencing
homelessness. Each Christmas, members collect gifts for female veterans at
the VA Medical Center in Brockton. The club’s annual Holiday Auction
raises funds for the food pantry, Council on Aging, library, and VNA. Stop
by the John Curtis Library and view the club’s display.

New members (age 18+) are welcome and encouraged to join by emailing the
membership chair at embhanover@verizon.net .

Visit www.hanoverwomansclubjuniors.weebly.com or email hwcj1970@yahoo.com
for more information about the club.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Proposals for arts, humanities, and science programs are due October 16!

Have you ever wondered what happens with the funds raised at Hanover Day?
Money from our annual celebration, plus Hanover’s share of state cultural
funds, is used to support arts, science, and humanities projects throughout
the year.

Between September 2 and October 16, 2025, the Hanover Cultural Council will
accept applications from organizations, schools, and individuals for grants
to fund cultural activities in Hanover. These grants can support a variety
of arts, science, and humanities projects, including exhibits, festivals,
field trips, short-term artist residencies or performances in schools,
workshops, and lectures.

This year’s allocation to Hanover from the Massachusetts Cultural Council
(MCC) is $8,400, and additional funds are available thanks to the past
success of Hanover Day. The Council will meet later this fall to review the
applications and award the grants.

A webinar will be held on September 9 at 6:00 p.m. to review the
application process. Register at

Gallery

.

Past events have included the Summer Concert Series by the Parks and
Recreation Department, the Drama Club programs at South Shore Vo-Tech,
funding for the Hanover Performing Arts Company, painting workshops, Museum
of Science Outreach program at Cedar Elementary School, several museum
passes and children’s programs at the John Curtis Free Library, and
sponsorships of programs for the Walnut Hill Garden Club, South Shore
Natural Science Center, Hanover senior center, and many others.

The Hanover Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural
Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. The state
legislature provides an annual appropriation to the MCC, a state agency,
which then allocates funds to each community. Local councils are allowed to
raise additional money through events like Hanover Day.

The application is attached and more information about the program is
available online at

Chair, at culturalcouncil@hanover-ma.gov.
