Vacation Week Music Program At John Curtis Library

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

What are you going to do with the kids during April vacation?!

David Coffin, a musician, singer, storyteller, educator and maritime
specialist, will present "Life At Sea: A Voyage In Song" at the library on
Tuesday, April 20 at 4:00 p.m. The musical program recreates a voyage on an
old New England whaling ship, with the audience members acting as the ship’s
crew. Mr. Coffin will lead the audience in singing sea shanties, "hoisting
the sails", and acting out other shipboard activities. Playing the
concertina and other instruments, he is particularly skilled at getting a
whole audience singing. There will also be a special appearance by his
friend, "Pierre with the bad hair". The program is very interactive, full
of humor, and informative as well as entertaining.

Mr. Coffin is a descendant of the Nantucket Coffins, one of the most
prominent American seafaring families. He is a multitalented performer who
has been singing and playing music at hundreds of venues all over the
country for more than 20 years. He regularly presents educational programs
at schools around New England.

This program is supported by a grant from the Hanover Cultural Council, a
local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a
state agency. The program is designed for families with children in
kindergarten and older. Free tickets are available in advance at the
library, and all are welcome. For more information, please call
781-826-2972, extension 4 or e-mail lcampbell@ocln.org .

Final town-wide election ballot

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

I heard from several of you how much you appreciated the list of candidates
for all of the town-wide offices. It’s a complicated election year and it
is hard to keep straight who is running for what. There also have been a
couple of minor changes to the draft of the ballot that I sent you a couple
of weeks ago. So, in an effort to "get it right", and also to allow you to
view a final copy of the ballot before you actually get to vote, we have
uploaded a facsimile of the absentee ballot here:

http://atotw.com/files/HanoverAbsenteeBallot20100508.pdf . Check it out!

As more information becomes available from each of the candidates, you will
see it right here on ATOTW.

Good news despite all the rain

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

I suppose that I could not let this spring’s torrential rains go unnoticed
by "Around Town on the Web". The temporary closure of King Street, the
flooding of neighborhood ponds and the creation of ponds in places where
they had never been previously, and the hundreds of basements in Hanover
that are still trying to dry out are certainly all newsworthy. But, I try
to avoid a negative vibe.

So, in my continual efforts to shout good news for Hanover residents from
the rooftops, I am pleased to mention the decision by the IRS to postpone
the deadline for filing 2009 individual income tax returns, making income
tax payments, and making 2009 contributions to an individual retirement
account for residents of Hanover. This is in response to the President’s
decision to declare several counties in Massachusetts federal disaster
areas.

The complete notice from the IRS may be found here:
http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id"0830,00.html . The new deadline
is May 11th. So go finish pumping out your basement; the taxes can wait!

Friends of Julie follow-up

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

This just in.as a follow-up to last weekend’s fundraiser that honored cancer
fighter and Hanover resident Julie Porzio!

The "Friends of Julie" would like to thank all those who contributed to the
success of our first fund raiser. Due to the overwhelming response, we were
able to send our first recipients (the Desantis Family, from Pembroke whose
mom was recent diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer) to Disney World for
April vacation.

We are also happy to announce that we are moving forward with our 501c-3
non-profit designation. Our mission statement will be to fund "Family Time"
for late stage cancer patients with their children. This will include
trips, sporting events and quality time. Please stay tuned…..

Thanks again,
Friends of Julie
Making Memories one Family at a Time…

Hanover VNA Open Meeting

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover VNA would like to invite all Hanover residents and friends to
their annual Open Meeting which will be held on Tuesday, April 13th, at 1:00
p.m. in the Town Hall Meeting Room.

The guest speaker will be Shirley Harrow, a retired 76 year-old nurse from
Quincy, who has been working for nine years to try to get recognition and
veteran’s status for the Cadet nurses who provided 80 percent of the nursing
care in this country both in civilian and military hospitals during World
War II. Although Shirley was too young to be a Cadet nurse herself, she
became passionately involved in their cause after interviewing a former
cadet nurse who was leading a grass roots effort to have the corps members
work recognized.

The young women who served in the Cadet Nurse Corps were actively recruited
by the U.S. Public Health Service, an agency which was militarized during
World War II. Of the about 124,000 women who graduated from the corps
between 1943 and 1948, it is estimated that only a few thousand are still
living. Ms. Harrow has talked with many of these women and will undoubtedly
share some of their stories as well as information about her fight to gain
them the recognition and benefits to which she feels they are entitled.

Refreshments will be served following the program.
