Dear fellow Hanoverians:

You may remember that about a week ago I was lamenting the lost opportunity
to promote some cool events in Hanover due to my personal computer being
out of commission. Well, Hanover’s Scouts thoughtfully RESCHEDULED one
of their best events just so that word could be spread on Around Town on
the Web! Wow! Here are the details (and a reminder about a couple of
previously mentioned events):

Stop by Hanover’s Outdoor Scout Skills Fest at the Hanover YMCA Saturday,
March 4th – 12-1:30 p.m. Meet leaders and Scouts and see what the Scouting
buzz is all about!
See outdoor cooking demo, a winter campsite model, ropes and lashing
structures, survival skills, first aid skills, games, a compass course, and
more.
Boys AND girls of Hanover, they’d love for you to join them and start
YOUR Trail to Eagle!
Scouts BSA Troop 38: Boys ages 10 to 18
Scouts BSA Troop 1: Girls ages 10 to 18
Venture Crew 38: Co-Ed ages 14 to 21
Cub Scouts! Boys and girls, K – 5th grade

Reminders about some upcoming events to consider attending:
February 28th, March 7th and 14th – 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.: Reptile and

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Do you love hydrangeas? If yes, please join the Walnut Hill Garden Club at
their next club meeting on Tuesday, March 7th at 7:15 p.m. at the Phoenix
Lodge, 133 Broadway, when the group will learn from Kathie Skinner,
Lifetime Master Gardener, the key points that gardeners should consider
before they invest in a hydrangea.

With over 600 cultivars to select from, it’s easy to select a plant based
on some attributes only to find that it will not be the “right plant in
the right place.” The seven species are identified, examples of each are
provided, and their best use in the landscape.

Space is limited so to reserve a spot, please email Audrey Barresi at
audbarresi@aol.com , or Tiz Polizio at tiz.poliz@gmail.com .

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 .

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.

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!
