Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced that Friday, November
28th is the last day to register to vote during the December 8th Special
Town Meeting. The Town Clerk’s Office will be open until 2:00 p.m. on
November 26th, and the Hanover Police Station will be open until 5:00 p.m.
on November 28th, and on-line registration will be available until 11:59
p.m. on the 28th. Please come to Town Hall or the Police Station if you
need to register in person. Read on for on-line registration information!

Any Hanover citizen who will be eighteen on or before the December 8th
Special Town Meeting is encouraged to register to vote. Once registered,
individuals will be eligible to vote in all elections thereafter. Further,
residents may “pre-register” to vote if they are age 16 or 17, but they
will not be eligible to vote until they turn 18.

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:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=wFgrEJqiSAWSCXFMUwbdf1NdmR/cKm02urtxgBHRzvdoqLt7nDO4RqoN783ZLADJ
. If residents choose to register by mail they should download the
“Massachusetts Mail-In Voter Registration Form” found here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=9UdczQVg8nCwmXZ0sUfJ/lNdmR/cKv02urtxgBHRzvdoqLt7nDPIRqoN783ZLADJ
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.
“With automatic registration now the law of the land in Massachusetts,
very few people actually need to come in to register to vote”, said
Harder-Bernier. “However, what we do occasionally see is that people who
have moved recently and/or who have not updated their driver’s license –
those people do need to update their voter registration status. We also
sometimes see 18 year-olds who do not yet have driver’s licenses who need
to register to vote. We look forward to helping those folks!”, said
Harder-Bernier.

Questions may be directed to Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at
catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov , or Cindy Xing at
cindy.xing@hanover-ma.gov .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

You may remember an Around Town on the Web e-blast from about a month ago
on behalf of the Hanover Woman’s Club that suggested that residents shine
green outdoor light bulbs to show our support of our veterans here in
Hanover. The good folks at Hanover Crossing took that support to a whole
different level by displaying these same green bulbs all over the new
buildings at the former mall location.

I am delighted to share some photos, as attached.

With fond regards for those who currently serve and previously served us
and our country,

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

This just in from Hanover High students Lexie and Kasey Schiller and their
mom Erin! This is Lexie and Kasey’s second year helping with the Father
Bill’s wish list – Hanover is proud of you two!

Who: Lexie and Kasey Schiller

What: Father Bill’s and MainSpring Wish List (see attached)

Message: Do you ever find brand new things, still wrapped up with the tags
still on them in your closets? Maybe it’s a shower curtain liner you will
never use because you have a shower door now; twin sheet sets for your
children’s beds only they don’t have twin beds anymore. Maybe it’s a
pair of shoes purchased on a whim that you have never worn or a sweater
from your mother-in-law that you could never bring yourself to wear! It
feels great to de-clutter your house of this stuff, but it feels even more
GREAT when you know that there are people in need that will truly benefit
from them. Please consider donating your new/un-used items OR make a small
donation to help Lexie and Kasey fulfill the attached wish list for Father
Bill’s and MainSpring.

Where: John Curtis Library or Venmo

How: Two ways from now until January 25th:
1. Drop off new/unused items in the bin at John Curtis Library in Hanover
2. Venmo donation to purchase items @lexie-schiller-2 (placing Father
Bill’s in notation)

Why: To provide help and hope to individuals and families facing a housing
crisis on the South Shore and across Southern Massachusetts.

For more information, please contact their mom (Erin) at
eschill2011@gmail.com .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Lutheran Church of the Cross is thrilled to announce a free family
concert, COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS CONCERT to celebrate the joy of music this
holiday season. The concert will be on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025, at
2:00 p.m. at Lutheran Church of the Cross, located at 77 Rockland Street.
The concert is their gift to the community and will feature festive music
with traditional Christmas Carols and contemporary holiday tunes to
entertain all ages.

They are pleased to present “The Victorian Carolers of Boston,” a
well-known professional a Capella quartet, who dress in mid-19th century
(1840’s to 1860’s) clothing. The quartet has been together for many
years and performs all over New England throughout the year. Director and
leader of the quartet Danny Bolton explained, “Our quartet loves to sing
and bring the joy of music to everyone, but Christmas time is our
favorite.”

Also performing is 12-year-old Miguel Ferreira. Miguel taught himself and
began playing the piano at an extremely early age; after church service he
would play the piano in the social hall. With consistent practice and
self-study, everyone witnessed Miguel’s talent grow. Miguel was looking
for a new challenge and so he mastered playing the organ. His mastery of
the organ seems effortless, and everyone, including experienced
professional musicians, music teachers and audiences, are in awe during his
performances. He recently performed a two-hour organ concert at the
Lutheran Church of the Cross consisting of all Bach compositions to raise
funds for a young five-year-old with cancer.

Matt MacDougall grew up singing in the children, youth, and adult choirs of
the Lutheran Church of the Cross, and will be the tenor soloist. Male tenor
soloists possess the highest male singing voices and are in demand by
choirs and professional operas due to their rarity. Matt’s voice is known
for its power and bright, resonant high notes. With a strong background and
study of music, he is still passionately active in the music scene and will
be returning to his hometown church for this concert to the delight of all.

The concert will include a short intermission with light refreshments in
the social hall. There will be opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for a
Thanksgiving basket or a ticket for their Christmas Festival Raffle with
three great prizes.
Celebrate the season of hope, peace, love and joy with the music of
talented local artists and musicians. Let the COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS
CONCERT start your holidays with cheer. For more information email:
admin@crosshanover.org or call: 781-826-5121 .
