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 .
