Silhouettes to benefit the Friends of the Library

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

 

Have you ever had your kids’ silhouettes done?  I
cherish the ones of my kids.  I’ve had them done twice and love
seeing the changes over the years.  Here’s your chance…and
for a good cause!

 

Just in time for Mother’s Day…the Friends of the John
Curtis Free Library are very pleased to announce that Joy Anne MacConnell will
be making a limited number of her beautiful silhouettes at the John Curtis Free
Library on Saturday, May 2nd.  With a tiny pair of surgical
scissors, Joy Anne MacConnell, an internationally known silhouette artist, will
freehand cut your child’s silhouette portrait in minutes.  Each $60
sitting produces 2 mirror-image silhouettes (additional copies are available on
request).  This is a wonderful way to celebrate a mother (or grandmother)
and to preserve your child’s image in a most unique way!  Please
call Patty Murphy at 781-826-7375 as soon as possible to schedule a sitting as
the schedule fills up quickly.  All proceeds will benefit the Friends of
the John Curtis Free Library.

Education in Hanover

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Did you receive your Hanover Permanent Scholarship Fund (HPSF) mailer this
week? In my core, my academic background, and in my work life, I am an
educator. So much of what I do with “Around Town on the Web” is
education.for a new generation of tech-savvy and time-deprived working
Hanover families. If you are like me, and despite much better intentions,
that mailer is buried under a pile already. So it seems only fitting to use
this space to highlight the HPSF.

“If you agree that Hanover is a special place and that the young people of
our community deserve to pursue their dreams, we hope you will lend your
support.” (from the HPSF brochure).

The scholarships given by the Hanover Permanent Scholarship Fund will go to
defray the extraordinary expenses awaiting this year’s Hanover High School
seniors. Many of you worked hard to support HHS-Yes! and to make the new
high school a reality for Hanover’s Middle School and elementary school
students. Left out of the benefit of the new high school, however, will be
the young people graduating from Hanover High School this year and next.
Let’s not forget them! The Hanover Permanent Scholarship Fund awards
scholarships based on both academic achievement as well as financial need.
In this economy, can you imagine how difficult it will be for Hanover
families to pay that first year’s tuition bill? I am shuddering at the
thought.

To make a donation to the Hanover Permanent Scholarship Fund, please e-mail
your intentions to Anne Manna, President, at wb1aru@gmail.com , or print and
send the below form and your check to the HPSF, P.O. Box 67, Hanover, MA
02339.

Thank you

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

 

I have been both humbled and overwhelmed by the attention I
have received over the past couple of weeks or so since the announcement that I
am the 2009 Spirit of Hanover Community Service Award recipient.  Those of
you who know me well will know that I am far more comfortable being a part of a
team, or as someone’s campaign manager, or as a vice-chair of a
committee.  In my role as editor for “Around Town on the Web”,
I can hide behind my computer and let my written words speak for me.  To
have this much consideration bestowed upon me makes me feel like my flower
bulbs must have felt for the last few months…completely snowed
under.  J  

 

Please accept this e-blast as a small measure of my
thanks.  I could not let another day go by without at least acknowledging
the scores of well-wishers among you.  I am further grateful to those who
nominated me – or signed letters of support – on my
nomination’s behalf.  Your tributes are amazing to me.

 

You will continue to hear from me and “Around Town on
the Web” as I highlight the framework and the fabric of what makes our
community so grand.  I like to think of myself as a cog in the wheel, and
so deeply appreciate those of you who are also a part of this greatness. 
If I have done nothing else with “ATOTW”, I hope I continue to
inspire you to the call to service for our little town.

 

Looking forward to seeing you on April 5th at the
Legion.

Partner with HYAA softball and/or baseball

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Do you know a Hanover kid who plays softball.or maybe you wish you did
business with her family? How about baseball? The Hanover Youth Softball
and Baseball teams are looking for members of the business community for
their support. Now is your chance to “step up to the plate” (literally and
figuratively!) and partner with some of the highest enrollment sports in
Hanover. This just in from HYAA!

PLAY BALL WITH HYAA!

Softball and baseball season is just around the corner! Hanover Youth
Athletic Association (HYAA) is looking for local area businesses interested
in becoming a sports partner for the upcoming baseball/softball season.
HYAA is a non-profit, tax-deductible organization that remains committed to
providing children from all economic backgrounds the opportunity to
participate in a youth sport. In recent years, sports participation in
Hanover has grown by nearly 50% and today HYAA is proud to have over 700
families as active members. The recent growth in participation has also
driven the need for additional fields and sports facilities and their
maintenance to accommodate the high demand. There are a variety of ways in
which businesses can extend their advertising network and support local
youth sports at the same time. First, sponsor a softball or baseball team!
Companies can have their name printed on the back of each player’s jersey.
Think of the good will you will generate in Hanover! Additionally,
companies can sponsor a 5’x 3′ field sign with their logo that will be
displayed at all games at Ellis Field on Circuit Street from April ’09
through November ’09.

If you’re interested in working with HYAA to support these endeavors, or for
more information, please contact Jim Pascarelli for softball sponsorships at
jim.pascarelli@tabs.toshiba.com or playballhyaa@comcast.net for baseball by
Monday, March 30th.
