Hanover Cultural Council seeks funding proposals

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Cultural Council has set an October 15, 2009 postmark deadline
for organizations, schools and individuals to apply for grants that support
cultural activities in the community.

According to Council spokesperson Katie Duff, these grants can support a
variety of artistic projects and activities in Hanover — including
exhibits, festivals, short-term artist residencies or performances in
schools, workshops and lectures.

The Hanover Cultural Council will also entertain funding proposals from
schools and youth groups through the PASS Program, which provides subsidies
for school-age children to attend cultural field trips.

The Hanover Cultural Council is part of a network of 329 Local Cultural
Councils 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 $4,000 in
grants. Previously funded projects include: visiting artist at Hanover High
School, "Swing This Spring" for the Hanover COA, Piano concerts at the John
Curtis Library, "Home for the Holidays" brass concert at St. Andrew’s Church
and more.

For specific guidelines and complete information on the Hanover Cultural
Council, contact Katie Duff- Chair at 781-878-0424 or HanoverCC2009@aol.com.
Application forms and more information about the Local Cultural Council
Program are available online at www.mass-culture.org/lcc_public.asp.
Application forms are also available at the John Curtis Library and Hanover
Town Hall/Clerk’s Office.

Texting and driving

Dear fellow Hanoverians: 

I don’t usually send a lot of public service announcements; “ATOTW” tends to be more local news bulletin oriented.  But, last week I sent a PSA concerning kids and bike helmets…thanks to a submission from a concerned resident.   This week another Hanover resident, John Dougherty, sent me the following link that has a powerful message about texting and driving.  I think it is awesome that we care so much about our kids here in Hanover; I could not resist passing this along.  I encourage you to show it to your teenagers:
