Dear fellow Hanoverians:

I just spent a thoroughly enjoyable half an hour watching a Hanover
Community Television video. The video features four of Hanover’s finest
citizens – Kenton Greene, Eleanor Kimball, Lorine Bergeron and John
Thomson. The four kindly detailed the history of and discussed some of the
names of the Hanover residents commemorated on the World War II boards that
have been restored and hung in Town Hall.

I heartily encourage you to take a moment this weekend as we celebrate our
country’s Independence Day to learn something about Hanover’s Greatest
Generation. The video may be found here:

. My hat is off and tears are in my eyes as I contemplate their
contributions.

Thanks to Ken, Ellie, Lorine and Jack for the gift of their time and
recollections, too. This project is absolutely priceless!

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The week around the Fourth of July is always a slow news week…hence the
following e-blast. :)

At their recent state-wide Annual Meeting, the Massachusetts Town Clerks’
Association (MTCA) nominated and elected Hanover Town Clerk Catherine
Harder-Bernier to become a member of the MTCA Executive Board.

The MTCA Executive Board is charged with carrying out the mission of the
MTCA and has general charge and control of its affairs, funds and property.
The Executive Board has the authority to create policies and procedures
for officers and committees of the MTCA. The Board also supports the five
officers of the MTCA as they carry out the functions of the Association.
The Board consists of nine Town Clerks from across the Commonwealth.

“It is truly an honor to be selected to this important role in my
state’s professional organization”, said Harder-Bernier. “I had
expressed interest in a lesser role, the Legislative Committee, and when I
was asked to consider applying for a spot on the E-Board, I certainly did
not expect to be nominated. My short three years as a Town Clerk have been
extraordinary, however, so I must have caught someone’s attention! I
will be serving along with some of the brightest minds and distinguished
servants of this Commonwealth. I am simply flattered to be among them”,
remarked Harder-Bernier.

“The Massachusetts Town Clerks’ Association is thrilled to have Hanover
Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier join our Executive Board”, said
President Andrew Dowd. “Ms. Harder-Bernier joins a team of dedicated
volunteers who put in tremendous effort to ensure our members receive
first-rate educational opportunities and professional guidance. The Town
of Hanover is fortunate to have such a dedicated and well respected Town
Clerk”, continued Dowd.

Harder-Bernier was also recently re-elected to a second term as Hanover’s
Town Clerk, where she topped the ticket among all candidates.

Harder-Bernier was sworn in to her new MTCA Executive Board role at a
banquet held by the MTCA on June 16th. Her term of office will begin July
1st and will be for three years, and she will serve alongside President
Andrew Dowd, Town Clerk from Northborough, who was re-elected to a second
one year term at the same Annual Meeting, First Vice-President Jeremy
Gillis, Town Clerk from Easton, Second Vice-President Marie Ryan, Town
Clerk from Great Barrington, Treasurer Danielle Sicard, Town Clerk from
Walpole, Secretary Elizabeth Greendale, Town Clerk from Holliston,
Executive Board member Kelly McElreath, Town Clerk from Upton, and
Executive Board member Diane Packer, Town Clerk of Natick.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

South Shore Habitat for Humanity proudly announces the grand opening of its
first Habitat ReStore located at 357 Columbia Road in Hanover – next to
the new Planet Fitness on the southern end of Route 53.

The SSHH ReStore is modeled after many other successful Habitat ReStores
around the country. ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and
donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, home accessories,
building materials and appliances to the public at a fraction of the retail
price. Habitat ReStores use the funds raised to support the local mission.

“We build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter,”
stated Martine Taylor, Executive Director. “This store will enable us to
raise awareness about affordable housing, increase revenue, and engage more
volunteers in our mission.” Mark Anderson, the new ReStore Manager,
explained that, “every item donated and sold at the ReStore plays a vital
role in improving the lives of families in need of better housing, and at
the same time, we are doing our part to protect our environment,”
remarked Anderson.

The new Habitat Restore in Hanover is one of the more than 900 Habitat
ReStores located in the United States, Canada, Australia, South America,
New Zealand and Northern Ireland. In addition to the revenue generated for
its programs, ReStores help to protect the environment. In 2014, ReStore
donations diverted more than 128,000 tons of building materials from
landfills by giving reusable items a second life. To shop, donate, or
volunteer, visit www.sshabitat.org .

South Shore Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
dedicated to delivering simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership
with families in need. SSHH is based in Weymouth and serves 35 cities and
towns south and southwest of Boston. Founded in 1986 as an independent,
nonprofit organization, SSHH works in partnership with families,
volunteers, faith partners, and community and business leaders to help
local families living in inadequate housing move into simple, decent,
affordable homes of their own. Since its inception the organization has
built 55 homes and has provided housing for more than 96 adults and 192
children. Today, South Shore Habitat homes are located in Abington,
Braintree, Brockton, Cohasset, Duxbury, Easton, Hanover, Hanson, Hingham,
Marshfield, Medway, Norwell, Pembroke, Quincy, Randolph, Rockland,
Scituate, Stoughton, Sharon, Weymouth and Whitman. For more information,
please contact Martine Taylor at mtaylor@sshabitat.org .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Calling all Hanover businesses!

The Town Clerk’s Office is preparing a ‘Welcome to Hanover Packet’ to
usher new residents into the town. It will be mailed out once per month to
all new residents of houses sold within that past month in Hanover. It will
include things like a town map, voter registration forms, information about
the schools, transfer station application forms, and lots of additional
useful tidbits!

The Town Clerk’s Office is looking for businesses to sponsor the
packet’s monthly mailing. For a fee of $40 (to cover the cost of printing
and shipping), they will feature your business in the packet every month
and include a coupon or other promotional material of your choosing. In one
month out of the year, they will give your business a full-page ad in the
packet. This is an excellent opportunity to get your business’s name out
to residents who may be unfamiliar with the town!

If interested, contact Intern Joe DeFerrari at jrdef@outlook.com with any
questions, or to sponsor the packet. The office is trying to finalize a
list of businesses for the following twelve month period. Please respond to
Joe by July 15th if interested.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Brush off the dictionary! The John Curtis Free Library’s annual spelling
bee will be held on Friday, July 1 at 11:00 a.m. in the large meeting room.
This is the 30th year the Library has been hosting the Bee. To celebrate
this milestone, there will be additional prizes and extra FUN!!

As has been done in the past, the bee will be split into two sections, one
for ages 13 and younger and the other for everyone over the age of 14.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three spellers in each category and the
best speller in each group will have his/her name engraved on the
library’s spelling bee trophy. So, for an old-fashioned good time, come
to the library and demonstrate your spelling skills.

Contact Lorraine Welsh at 781-826-2972 or lwelsh@ocln.org for further
information. Registration is not necessary. Refreshments will be served.
