Newcomers kicks off a new year

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Newcomers is a social club for women who enjoy making new
friends and participating in various activities including social
outings, family events, and community service. One need not be “new”
to Hanover to be a member and the fall is a great time to join! New
member events will be happening throughout the next few months and
playgroups are forming now too. The board has been busy planning some
great family activities as well as “ladies only” events. Come meet
some Newcomers members and find out what the club has to offer.

Join Newcomers at their “Welcome Back Social” on Wednesday September
14th from 7:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. This event is casual and open-house
style, so feel free to come anytime and bring a friend or neighbor.
For directions, please contact Joanna McCormick at
joanna_mccormick@comcast.net or Courtnie Graybill at
courtniegraybill@gmail.com from the membership committee.

If a daytime outing is better for you, please stop by the Hanover
Parks and Rec Playground (located at the B. Everett Hall Playground
Complex) any Wednesday in September beginning September 14th from 9:30
a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Playgroup co-coordinators Kate Dauphinais and
Heather Meagher will be on site for anyone interested in signing up
for playgroup or joining the club.

For more information, visit the Newcomers website at
www.hanovernewcomersclub.com. General inquiries may be directed to
Club President Joanna Dyer at joannaslp@yahoo.com.

(Editor’s note: I met some of the greatest people and some of my
dearest friends at Newcomers almost 20 years ago. In some ways,
indirectly, it also spawned ATOTW because I had such a big e-mail list
from all of those connections I made! Where will Newcomers lead
YOU??!!)

Safe Driving event at the Hanover Mall

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Vehicle crashes are the Number One killer of teenagers in America.
Nearly 6,000 teens die annually in such accidents, according to the
most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. Because of inexperience, many teens lack the skills
and knowledge required to be safe drivers. Statistics demonstrate that
teen involvement in crashes declines considerably as young drivers
gain experience.

Ford Motor Company and the Massachusetts Highway Safety Division are
sponsoring an event called “No Distractions, Just Drive” at the
Hanover Mall on Saturday, September 24th from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
The Kiss 108 mobile unit will be on-site. Hanover’s own Risky
Business Band (formerly Political Extinction) will be playing outside
in the parking lot, too. See attached flyer for more details.

Stop by the JUST DRIVE booth in the mall any time between today and
the event on Saturday September 24th and sign up to drive the Ford
Driving Skills for Life Course at the Hanover Mall on the 24th or just
come by for the fun!

For more information, please contact Amy Dominici at
amydominici@aol.com

Hanover Cultural Council seeks funding proposals

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Cultural Council is now seeking funding proposals for
community-oriented arts, humanities, and science programs!

The Hanover Cultural Council has set an October 14 postmark deadline
for organizations, schools and individuals to apply for grants that
support cultural activities in the community.

According to Council Chairperson Katie Duff, 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 (LCC) 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 $3,870in
grants. Previously funded projects include: classical piano concerts
with Inna Muravnik at the John Curtis Library, an “Introduction to
Birding in Hanover” with Massachusetts Audubon, artists in residence
in the Hanover Schools, sponsorship of groups in Hanover including the
Harbor Choral Arts Society and the Hanover Diversity Committee.

For specific guidelines and complete information on the *Hanover
Cultural Council*, contact Katie Duff at 617-653-8433 or
aribba@aol.com
. Application forms and more information about the Local Cultural
Council Program are available online at
