Dear fellow Hanoverians:

This just in from a grateful Light Family!

“Sunday, September 24th our family and neighbors laced up our sneakers to
walk along the world-renowned Boston Marathon course in the 2017 Boston
Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. It was a beautiful day for a walk. Our family
committed to raise at least $5000. We’ve set our goal high because we know
1st hand that the money raised is crucial to the innovative cancer research
and exceptional patient care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Jimmy Fund
Clinic. Our daughter Alison was diagnosed with Stage 4 Germ Cell Yolk Sak
Tumors in September 2014, and the care we received immediately from Dana
Farber and Boston Children’s Hospital far exceeded our expectations.
Within a 24 hour period we were told our then 3 year old daughter had
cancer and after hours of testing we were told that her cancer was
treatable and even curable – music to our ears. Alison is still under
the care of an Oncology Team at Dana Farber and has regular checkups at the
Jimmy Fund Clinic and yearly scans. She continues to be cancer free and we
walk in honor of her and all the children that will follow.

Our town of Hanover rallied around our family that year with love, support,
help … and Hanover you continue to show up – we are happy to report that
our little Jimmy Fund Yard Sale (on September 9th) raised about $2000 for
the Jimmy Fund Walk. Thank you to everyone that donated “awesome
stuff” to sell. Thank you to those who helped with set up, take down and
to those who made several trips to Savers afterward! Finally, thank you to
those who stopped by to shop. We couldn’t do this without you.

Cancer touches all of us. Our family is doing our part to help conquer this
disease and with your help, we can move closer to the ultimate finish line:
a world without cancer.

Thank you again for your support and generosity!
The Light Family (Dan, Amanda, Sam and Alison)

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

This just in! Are your kids interested in playing chess or learning to
play? Some local 2nd graders are looking to start a club. The initial
meeting will be at the library on Monday, September 25th from 5 – 6 p.m.
This time will be used to gauge interest and see what day/time works best
for the future. The plan would be for the club to meet once a month. It
would be interactive with parents and kids helping each other to learn to
play as well as more experienced players having a chance to play against
one another. Feel free to bring your chess sets on Monday so the kids can
play while the adults iron out the details for future meeting times.

For more information, or if you are unable to make it today, please contact
Kelly Newman Gilroy at kl_newman@yahoo.com .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Proposals for community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs are
due October 15, 2017!

The Hanover Cultural Council has set an October 15 postmark deadline for
organizations, schools and individuals to apply for grants that support
cultural activities in the community.

According to Council spokesperson Karen Cass, “these grants can support a
variety of artistic projects and activities in Hanover — including
exhibits, festivals, field trips, short-term artist residencies or
performances in schools, workshops and lectures”.

The Hanover Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural
Councils serving all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth. The LCC
Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation,
supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, sciences and
humanities every year. The state legislature provides an annual
appropriation to the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, which
then allocates funds to each community.

This year, the Hanover Cultural Council will distribute about $25,000 in
grants. Previously funded projects include: The Summer Concert Series at
Forge Pond Park in collaboration with the Parks and Recreation Department,
The Drama Club Dinner Theater & “Brass Lantern After Dark” programs at
SSVT, funding for a wireless microphone system for the Hanover Performing
Arts Company, The Bats and Bat Houses project at Center and Sylvester
Schools, Pastel Painting Workshop, “Just For TEENS” Art Exhibit,
several museum passes and children’s programs at the John Curtis Library,
sponsorship of traffic island beautification projects by the Hanover Garden
Club, Mass Audubon and S.S. Natural Science Center Community projects, to
name just a few!

The FY18 Allocation to Hanover from the Mass Cultural Council has not been
officially announced yet, but will be made available at the end of
September, and additional funds are available, thanks to the tireless
efforts of our Hanover Day Committee. The success of Hanover Day, our
annual town celebration which features an incredible array of live
entertainment, carnival rides, artisans and vendors, a community art
project, juried art exhibit, anchor art contest, 3 v. 3 Basketball
Tournament, countless children’s activities and culminating in a
spectacular fireworks display allows us to give back to the community in
the form of grants for worthy arts, science and humanities projects
throughout the year!

For specific guidelines and complete information on the Hanover Cultural
Council, contact Karen Cass, Chair at (781) 982-0080, or
karencass@comcast.net. Application forms and more information about the
Local Cultural Council Program are available online at

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is enthusiastically looking for new
volunteers – both medical and non-medical. Volunteering with the MRC is a
great way to meet new neighbors and become involved in the Hanover
community.

The purpose of the MRC is to provide emergency disaster preparedness as
well as assist with public health programs. There is no set training;
members choose to attend as many or as few of the workshops that are
offered. Nor is there any set commitment. Some members ask to be
contacted in an emergency only; others volunteer at scheduled events.
Workshops in local communities are offered in the early evening and cover
an ever-changing variety of topics including training in emergency
preparedness, presentations on various recent and historical disasters;
understanding our public health system; and opportunities to become
certified in First Aid and CPR. Many workshops carry nursing, social work
and EMT continuing education credits.

Please join the MRC on Wednesday, September 27th to learn about the Hanover
Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and to meet some current volunteers. There will
be a short get together with refreshments at 6:30 p.m. in Hanover Town
Hall, Selectmen’s Meeting room, 1st floor.

To register interest in attending the September 27th get together, please
leave your name and number anytime for Nancy Funder, 781-826-6473 or email
nancy.funder@hanover-ma.gov .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

This just in from “the Commander”, our very own Ray Miller, Commander of
the American Legion:

“We recently had our function hall renovated and it looks a lot classier.
Our new special rental fee is $225.00, which includes the bartender and
cleaning (parties of 50 people minimum). This is a $50.00 savings when you
mention code “149”, which expires on 1/31/2017. They take away the worries
of cleaning your home for parties when you rent a hall at the American
Legion. New look, new bar and still cheapest hall around. Come check it
out. All proceeds go to benefit veterans and their families in need.

Reserve today (781) 878-9720 before the dates fill up.”
