Household donations for HFEE

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

There are two “yard sale” type donation drives going on this fall –
one for the Hanover Music Club and one for the Hanover Foundation for
Educational Enrichment. The two organizations are handling their donation
drives a little differently. Here’s the info regarding the HFEE drive; I
hope to send the HMC info out soon, too!

It’s time to clean out your closets, cupboards, basement and garage in
support of HFEE!

Please donate clothing and household goods to Savers (on Route 53) during
the HFEE Fundraising Drive September 9-18.

All community members, their families and friends are invited to donate
gently-used clothing and household items to SAVERS in Hanover to support
the Hanover Foundation for Educational Enrichment’s fundraising drive.

Acceptable donations include:
Clothing, shoes, hats, scarves, undergarments, jewelry, accessories, bags,
wallets, bedding, towels, curtains, tablecloths and other cloth materials.
Please bag toys, small household goods and appliances, books, CD’s and
DVD’s separately.

The Do Not Accept List includes:
All weapons, hazardous materials, construction materials, flammable
products, automobile parts, damaged furniture, beds, bedding parts,
televisions, computer monitors, infant car seats, cribs and other infant
products restricted by law, swing sets, food, pets, large appliances,
marine vessels, swimming pools, vehicles, cash and intangible property.

When you drop off your bags please let them know it is for HFEE and receive
a receipt with your total bag weight (they will weigh the bags). Please let
HFEE know of your donation by emailing a picture of your receipt to:
hanoverfoundation@gmail.com so they have a record. Events like the SAVERS
Donation Drive help HFEE raise needed funds to award grant money to our
Hanover classroom teachers who are trying to enrich their academic
programs.

All goods collected through the Donation Drive fundraiser program are sold
to Savers, the parent company to great thrift stores like Value Village,
Unique, and Savers. They pay HFEE by the pound for every qualifying
donation received. In turn, these items help keep their floors freshly
stocked. Savers, Inc. is a privately held global thrift retailer. Through
its unique business model of purchasing, reselling and recycling secondhand
merchandise, the Savers family of thrift stores benefits more than 150
nonprofit organizations, gives local consumers a smart way to shop, and
saves more than 600 million pounds of quality used goods from landfills
each year.

Please start bagging things up to drop off at Savers from Sept 9 – 18! As
always, thanks for your continued support of HFEE!

Charlie Gleason’s South Shore

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Charlie Gleason’s South Shore
Saturday August 20th, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Stetson House Barn, 514 Hanover Street

Charles Gleason (1880-1979) was a Hanover resident and dry goods peddler
who kept a remarkable documentary record of small town life on the South
Shore. Beginning in 1908, Gleason used a $2 Brownie box camera to
photograph his family, neighbors, and clients in Hanover and the
surrounding towns. He traveled first with a brightly painted green and
yellow wagon and then on a bicycle, taking photos as he went. Gleason put
his photographs into scrapbooks and carefully labeled each person and
scene, creating a unique and fascinating source for local history. Views of
Hanover, Norwell, Pembroke, Marshfield, and Scituate are featured in the
scrapbooks, along with his stories, commentary, and humor.

The Hanover Historical Society has conserved eleven of the scrapbooks and
is now involved in a digitization and transcribing project to make these
available to the public. Join the Historical Society on Saturday, August
20th, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. to view the scrapbooks and learn more about
the project.
See the South Shore as Charlie Gleason saw it a century ago.

For more information contact the Hanover Historical Society, at P.O. Box
156 Hanover MA 02339, 781-826-9575, or by email at
hanoverhistoricalsociety@gmail.com, or on-line at

Garden lecture

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Please join the Hanover Garden Club for a lecture by noted horticulturalist
Kerry Ann Mendez:
“The Right-Size Flower Garden: Exceptional Plants and Design solutions
for Aging and Time Pressed Gardeners”: Change happens. Job demands,
kids, money, hectic schedules, aging bodies and changing interests have led
to gardens that are not in balance with our lifestyle. Time for some
‘editing’. This inspiring lecture provides easy-to-follow right-sizing
strategies, recommended no-fuss plant material, and design tips for
stunning year-round gardens that will be as close to ‘autopilot’ as you
can get.

The program will take place on Thursday, August 18, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. at
the Hanover Council on Aging, 665 Center Street. Open to the public at no
charge but space is limited. If you wish to attend, please call the
Hanover COA, 781-924-1921, for reservations. You may e-mail
pruerog@verizon.net if you have questions. This program is supported in
part by a grant from the Hanover Cultural Council, a local agency supported
by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Refreshments will be served following the lecture and Ms. Mendez’s books
will be offered for sale.
