Pajama drive

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The John Curtis Free Library has teamed up with the Boston Bruins to
participate in the 16th annual Boston Bruins PJ Drive to benefit Department
of Children and Families’ (DCF) Wonderfund and Cradles to Crayons. The PJ
Drive’s goal is to collect 10,000 pairs of new pajamas. Many of the
pajamas donated go to local DCF offices in the area in which they were
collected, benefitting local kids and teens. DCF estimates that at any
given time the agency is working with 50,000 babies, children and teens.

Bruins forward P.J. Axelsson and his wife, Siw, started the PJ drive during
the Boston Bruins 2007-2008 season as a way to give to give back to their
community. Libraries from across the state joined the PJ Drive in 2014 and
have collected over 53,000 pairs of pajamas since then. The Massachusetts
Board of Library Commissioners works with the Boston Bruins to coordinate
library participation.

The Hanover library’s goal this year is to collect 100 new pajamas. The
collection box is located in the lobby by the main entrance. For more
information, please call 781-826-2972 or email lcampbell@hanover.ocln.org .

Yarn donations needed!

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Yarn Donations Needed!
Among the countless groups of wonderful people who donate their time and
talent to help others is a group called ‘A Stitch in Time’, a knitting
and crocheting group at the Hanover Council on Aging.

This “close knit” group meets every week at the COA on Tuesdays at 9:00
am. They knit, crochet, socialize, share patterns, and help each other
improve on their stitches (if needed!). If you know basic stitching and
would be interested in attending, please feel free to stop in on a Tuesday
morning and join in on the fun. All are welcome.

Several members of the group donate lovingly hand-made items that are for
sale on the Peddler’s Cart at the Senior Center at 665 Center Street in
Hanover. The proceeds from these sales help fund programs and events at the
COA.
Yarn is needed for the group to use for their various projects. If you
have yarn or are looking for a good cause to donate to, please feel free to
drop off yarn to the Hanover COA. Any questions you can call the COA
office at 781-924-1913 or email patty.walker@hanover-ma.gov. Thank you in
advance for your kindness and generosity.

Troop 38 Boy Scout events open to prospective new members

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

My Around Town on the Web computer has been in the shop for a bit;
apologies to those who were looking for an e-blast to be sent over the past
week or two. Huge shout out to Josh of Computer Smith in Hanover who very
capably rescued my hard drive and sanity in the process! :)

Troop 38 Boy Scouts have been very busy in the interim. This is their
“Open House” recruiting time of year and I sadly missed the chance to
promote their Outdoor Scout Skills Fest and a Winter Outdoor Scout
Adventure over the past 10 days. Thankfully, there is still time for me to
send along the following information about their upcoming events that are
open to anyone looking to see what Boy Scouts are all about!

February 28th, March 7th and 14th from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.: Reptile and
Amphibian Merit Badge at SS Natural Science Center.

March 5th from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.: 2.5 mile Beginner Hike to Gurnet
Lighthouse.

Troop 38 is very capably led by Scoutmaster Gary Martin, who can be reached
at garymartin66@icloud.com for more information. As an aside, I had the
good fortune to meet about 20 of the Scouts who were working on their
“Citizenship in the Community” Merit Badge last week and was very impressed
with those young men! They’re a great group!

Summer Internship Program

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Thought this might be of interest!

The Town of Hanover Summer Internship is a paid employment opportunity for
motivated high school and college students who want to gain professional
work experience, build skills such as time management, teamwork,
communication, leadership, and critical thinking, and explore new
interests, while learning how Hanover town government operates. Interns
must demonstrate maturity and politeness, integrate well within the Town
Hall team environment, and work hard at their assignments.
Summer Interns will spend the majority of their time engaged in work for
the Town Manager but also will be assigned to other departments within
Hanover town government.
Strong preference will be given to students and graduates of Hanover High
School, South Shore Vocational Technical High School, and those who live in
Hanover and attend/attended private high schools.

Expectations
The Town of Hanover Summer Internship program will run from the end of the
school year until the start of the next academic year. Participants will be
expected to work 4 days a week for 30 hours, including 12-hour days each
Wednesday when Town Hall is open from 8:00 a.m to 8:00 p.m.
As part of the 30 hours per week, Summer Interns will be required to attend
various evening and night meetings either in-person or via Zoom. Summer
Interns will be required to attend all Select Board meetings, and a total
of 5 meetings of different Hanover public bodies (e.g., Planning Board,
Zoning Board of Appeals, Advisory Committee, Conservation Commission,
etc.). The purpose of this expectation is for the Summer Interns to broaden
their understanding of how public bodies operate and how decisions are made
at the local government level.
Summer Interns will be assigned various tasks and responsibilities. Over
time, assignments will evolve to match the Intern’s skills, abilities,
and interests with the most pressing needs of the Town.
Summer Interns will be expected to write a 500-word essay at the conclusion
of their internship experience reflecting on what they learned during the
summer.

Application
Interested candidates for the Town of Hanover Summer Internship program
must submit the following:
1. Cover Letter detailing in 500 words your interest in this program;
2. Resume;
3. Letter of Reference from a professor/teacher, coach, previous employer,
guidance counselor, etc.;
4. The application period for the 2023 Town of Hanover Summer Internship
will start on March 1, 2023, and conclude on March 31, 2023. Hiring
decisions will be made in April.
