Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The public is invited to attend a program being presented by the Hanover
Woman’s Club, Juniors at their April meeting. The program featured is
called “Returning to the Past. A simpler Way of Life” and will be narrated
by Hanover resident Dave Setterland. It will be held in the meeting room
of the John Curtis Library on Wednesday, April 13 beginning at 7:15.
Refreshments will be served.

Through a slide presentation, the speaker will take the audience back thru
the quaint countries of Eastern Europe. Starting in Switzerland, he will
move across the country on back roads thru Austria to Vienna, Prague,
Bratislava, Budapest and then into the old country of Romania. Featured
will be great landscapes, old farms and churches hand built and made of
wood. Monasteries dating to the 1500’s, high mountains with lumber mills
and a city dating back to 1000-1100 A.D. will be on this virtual tour. Of
interest is the old medieval street where Dracula was born and raised. He
will return to Hanover at the end of the presentation with a surprise most
will love.

Traveler or not, this should be a very interesting program for all who
attend.

For more information e-mail Mary Anne at thecirinos@netscape.net .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced that Tuesday, April
12th is the last day to register to vote at the Annual Town Meeting and in
the Annual Town Election. Town Hall will be open from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00
p.m. on Tuesday the 12th.

Any Hanover citizen who will be eighteen on or before the first day of Town
Meeting (May 2nd) or by the Town Election (May 7th) is encouraged to
register to vote. Once registered, individuals will be eligible to vote in
all elections thereafter, including the Presidential Election in November.

Citizens of Hanover may conveniently register to vote or change their party
status on-line, by mail or in person. The link for on-line registration is
here: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/OVR . If residents choose to register
by mail they should download the “Massachusetts Mail-In Voter
Registration Form” found here:
https://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/elepdf/Voter-reg-mail-in.pdf and mail the
completed form to the Hanover Town Clerk’s Office.

If voters wish to register to vote in person, they may do so at two
convenient locations: Hanover Town Hall or the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

“As we continue the run-up to the Presidential Election in November, I
encourage Hanover residents to not lose sight of these elections where
their votes actually ‘weigh more’ because of the lighter turnouts”,
said Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier. “Several major decisions have
been made on Town Meeting floor by a one-vote margin and local elections
have turned on less than 10 votes just in the past few years. Plan now to
register to vote…so you can vote in May!”

Questions may be directed to Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at
(781) 826-5000 x1079 or by e-mail at Catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov
, or Senior Registrar Nancy Goldthwait at (781) 826-5000 x1082 or
nancy.goldthwait@hanover-ma.gov .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover resident Meg Coogan has been an avid runner for 25 years. She has
6 marathons under her belt, and trains year-round. That alone is
admirable. This year, however, she will be running what for most of us is
unthinkable – two marathons in the space of six days.

The 52 year old Hanover mother of four children plans to run the Boston
Marathon on April 18th, and the Big Sur Marathon in California on April
24th. Both races are a grueling 26.2 miles. Boston is famous for
Heartbreak Hill and Big Sur boasts of a two mile climb to the top of
Hurricane Point. And somehow, Meg is going to run both of them in less
than a week.

For now though, Meg is focusing on Boston. She goes on 20 mile training
runs on Saturdays and 5 mile hill sprints on Tuesdays, among other training
regimens. The Granddaddy of all Marathons also comes with a hefty
fundraising requirement for those who run for a charity. Meg went through
a rigorous application and interview process and was one of 25 people out
of hundreds who was picked to run for the New England Patriots Charitable
Foundation. The money raised for the Patriots Foundation benefits the Myra
Kraft Community MVP Awards, which recognizes outstanding volunteers in New
England. Last year the Foundation gave out $200,000 to the volunteers’
respective New-England based non-profit organizations.

“It is truly inspiring to hear the incredible stories of each Myra Kraft
Community MVP Award winner,” said Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft.
“Every volunteer has such a unique story about how they got involved in
their community and it is very touching to learn about their impact. These
individuals are making a lasting impact on a daily basis and we are excited
to have the opportunity to thank each of them for their commitment. This is
truly one of my favorite programs and I know Myra would be proud of the
work each of these volunteers are doing.”

“Raising money for the Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards is an honor and
privilege and I am pleased to have been chosen to do it,” said Coogan.
“It has been hard, though. People think the Patriots have plenty of
money, but the Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards are completely fundraised
with no contribution from the Patriots. By raising money for the awards, I
am giving back to my community, just like the award winners. I hope to
raise $10,000 before Boston.”

Coogan is therefore organizing what she hopes will be a large fundraiser at
Quan’s Kitchen in Hanover on April 7th from 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. The
public is invited to attend. Sports memorabilia with a distinct Patriots
flavor will be available for auction, along with raffles and a silent
auction. Tickets are $20 per person and will be available at the Hanover
Town Clerk’s Office and at the door. Come support Hanover’s most
impressive marathoning mother and wish her well as she runs “Boston to
Big Sur, 2 marathons, 2 coasts, 6 days”. Congratulations, Meg, you are
already a champion here in Hanover.

If you are unable to attend the fundraiser but would like to support
Meg’s efforts, donations may be made on-line at
www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/meg-coogan or by sending a check payable to
the “New England Patriots Charitable Foundation” c/o the Hanover Town
Clerk’s Office, 550 Hanover Street, Hanover, MA 02339. For more
information or to purchase tickets, contact Cathy Harder-Bernier at (781)
826-3937 or cathyhb@comcast.net , or Meg Coogan at (617) 827-0785 or
mrc9810@comcast.net .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Open Space Committee is requesting volunteers to help with
trail clean-up at conservation properties in town. The winter has left many
downed limbs and branches. We will be leading a group on Wednesday
morning, April 6 at 9:00 am, and again on Saturday, April 9 at 9:00 am. We
will meet at the Town Hall parking lot and will carpool to Denham Pond
Trails on Circuit Street, and perhaps other properties. If you have
equipment, please bring clippers, chainsaws, brush cutters, etc. We will
have extra tools for those who need them. Please remember to wear sturdy
shoes, gloves, and insect/tick repellant. This is a great opportunity to
help with trail upkeep, explore our conservation areas, and meet other
like-minded volunteers. For more information, please contact
hanovertrailwalkers@gmail.com.

On Wednesday, April 13 and Saturday, April 16, the Hanover Open Space
Committee will be leading guided walks on the Denham Pond Trails property
on Circuit Street. We will meet at the Town Hall parking lot at 9:30 am
and carpool (parking is limited at the trail site). This lovely
conservation area includes a pond and vernal pools. Naturalist leaders
will point out signs of spring along the way. Our walk will be a little
less than one mile round trip. Please join us for this great welcome to to
spring! Sturdy walking shoes and insect/tick repellant are recommended.
Maps and more information are available at
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/open-space-committee, or you may contact
hanovertrailwalkers@gmail.com.
