Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Candidates’ Night, sponsored by the Hanover Woman’s Club, Juniors, will
take place on Tuesday, April 13th at 7:00 p.m. Due to COVID-19 and the
restrictions of large gatherings, the forum will once again be held as a
Zoom webinar.

Candidates’ Night is an annual event hosted by the club that features
candidates running for local office in Hanover. The program consists of a
short presentation by each candidate running for a town office followed by
a question and answer period led by moderator Mary Ann Brugnoli. The forum
is open to the public for viewing on Zoom or local cable TV giving those
attending a chance to hear the views of the candidates on important issues
affecting the town. Hearing the candidates in this setting will give town
residents the opportunity to cast an educated vote on Saturday, May 8,
during the town election.

With 9 open positions for town office it should prove to be a lively and
informative meeting. Open positions include: Board of Selectman, 2, School
Committee, 2, Board of Assessors, 1, Planning Board, 1, Board of Health, 1,
Library Trustee, 1, and Moderator, 1. The public may submit questions for
the candidates to the club’s email address hwcj1970@yahoo.com. Deadline
for questions to be submitted is April 3.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced that Tuesday, April
13th is the last day to register to vote in the May 3rd Annual Town Meeting
and/or in the May 8th Annual Town Election. (If you are already registered
in Hanover, you don’t need to register again!) The Hanover Town
Clerk’s/Registrar’s Office will be open until 8:00 p.m. on April 13th,
and on-line registration will be available until 11:59 p.m. that night.
Please come to the Town Clerk’s/Registrar’s side entrance lower level
door if you need to register in person. Read on for on-line registration
information!

Any Hanover citizen who will be eighteen on or before the first day of Town
Meeting (May 3rd) or by the Town Election (May 8th) is encouraged to
register to vote. Once registered, individuals will be eligible to vote in
all elections thereafter. Further, residents may “pre-register” to
vote if they are age 16 or 17, but they will not be eligible to vote until
they turn 18.

Citizens of Hanover may conveniently register to vote or change their party
status on-line, by mail or in person. The link for on-line registration is
here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=wFgrEJqiOAWSCXFMUwbdf48ji92IxMhWqxpknd5glXFoqLt7nDM4RqoN783ZLADJ
. If residents choose to register by mail they should download the
“Massachusetts Mail-In Voter Registration Form” found here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=9UdczQVgUnCwmXZ0sUfJ/o8ji92IxLhWqxpknd5glXFoqLt7nDNIRqoN783ZLADJ
and mail the completed form to the Hanover Town Clerk’s Office.

If voters wish to register to vote in person, they may do so at two
convenient locations: Hanover Town Hall or the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

“New residents and high school students are strongly encouraged to
register to vote. It is the cornerstone of our democracy!” said Town
Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier. “Several major decisions have been made
on Town Meeting floor by a one-vote margin and some local elections have
turned on less than 10 votes just in the past few years. Register now to
vote…so you can vote in May!”

Questions may be directed to Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at
(781) 826-5000 x1079 or by e-mail at Catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

This just in from the good folks at the Phoenix Lodge:

“We were so touched by all of the folks that stopped by Phoenix Lodge this
past weekend. You came, you browsed, took what you needed, and made our
day!
This past weekend was so successful that we will be doing it again this
Saturday, March 27th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Please, please come and take more clothing. We’ve restocked our tables and
racks with clothes and still have more bags that we will be going through
this week to put on display.
This is the last day to get some great items and help us to avoid packing
it all up and giving it to the local charities.”

Editor’s note: my favorite line from this effort…”everyone needs a
little help sometimes.” For more information, please contact Dave Tinley
at dotinley3@icloud.com .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Phoenix Lodge Clothing Drive, Part 2

Well, the Lodge asked the community to help them with their clothing drive
and we came through in a big way!!

The outpouring of donations from the community was so great this past
weekend that they had to have the Salvation Army make a special trip just
to make room for this weekend’s distribution days. (Of course, they
saved the best for their tables. In fact, several items still have tags on
them).

The good folks at the Lodge really had no idea that they would take in so
many clothes. They filled all their tables. Close to 70 families donated
clothing to help make their drive a success.

Now they need your help again this weekend. They need those in need to
come in, do some shopping, take whatever you need, and save the Lodge
members from boxing all these clothes and sending them to the local
charities. As they said last week, everyone needs a little help sometimes!

Residents of Hanover and surrounding communities are invited to come and
take what they need both days, Saturday and Sunday, March 20th and 21st
between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. All COVID protocols will be followed.
Please help spread the word and share this post. If you have questions,
please contact dotinley3@icloud.com .

The Phoenix Lodge is located at 133 Broadway in Hanover, behind Mary
Lou’s coffee shop.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced today that the
Massachusetts State Legislature has extended the pandemic-based Vote by
Mail period throughout the spring of 2021. Accordingly, any registered
Hanover voter who is taking precautions related to COVID-19 in response to
the declared state of emergency or the guidance of a medical professional,
local or state health official or any civil authority may apply for a Vote
by Mail ballot in the May 8, 2021 Annual Town Election beginning today.

The 2021 Vote by Mail application is found here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=KZjbRZoe6ru5/AFv2V6k7YKH4xAQF9p9rNRpsqX5S09oqLt7nDPIRqoN783ZLADJ
. Applications may be filed at any time up until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May
4th. Vote by Mail ballots will be mailed beginning in mid-April to those
voters with applications on file.

“The legislature recognized that there are still thousands of
unvaccinated or partially immunized Hanover residents who may still wish to
take precautions and Vote by Mail in the spring Annual Town Election”
said Hanover Town Clerk Harder-Bernier. “That being said, I look forward
to a robust in-person turnout now that some restrictions are easing and
many Hanoverians are becoming fully vaccinated. This legislation provides
two alternatives given the on-going pandemic”, she said.

Vote by Mail applications may be mailed to the Hanover Town Clerk’s
Office at 550 Hanover Street in Hanover via US Mail, deposited into the
front door mail slot of Town Hall during non-Town Hall hours, or dropped
off to the Town Clerk’s Office during Town Hall hours. The secure ballot
drop box for returned ballots will re-open in mid-April. For more
information, please contact the Town Clerk’s Office at (781) 826-5000
x1079 or clerk.staff@hanover-ma.gov .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

I received some information after last Friday’s “vaccine update” e-blast,
and wanted to follow-up to clarify the vaccine that the town has received.
Suffice it to say, it is far less than anyone would prefer. Three groups
of 100 first responders/elderly residents have received or will receive
their first and second doses of the vaccine. So, while 300 people have
been vaccinated, there currently aren’t any “new doses” for new groups of
residents. My apologies for any confusion from last Friday’s e-blast.

If you are nevertheless looking for vaccine, remember that you can go to:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=gDMkJJVKXQS+vxBKdKo7zr8/IOGHr1NIrEtc+CsVCNNoqLt7nDNoRqoN783ZLADJ
. If you have questions, call the Mass DPH hotline at 211. And don’t
forget that ANYONE can pre-register at
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=br98aZ39CIab9gK2oI/DQb8/IOGHr3NIrEtc+CsVCNNoqLt7nDMYRqoN783ZLADJ
. And as always, stay tuned to ATOTW for further information and updates!

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Good news about the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out was in short supply of late,
but finally the past couple of days changed that. In case you missed it, I
am delighted to report that educators, child care workers and school staff
are now on the eligibility list, along with those previously eligible like
anyone over 65 years old. Go to:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=TW7+34f++lqOjSan5b9qZZ5rlNxCrzbKlsxyz+Bwv5poqLt7nDNYRqoN783ZLADJ
and scroll down to the “Vaccine Eligibility Checker” to see if you are on
the list yet. If you are, go to
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=gDMkJJVKbQS+vxBKdKo7zp5rlNxCr9bKlsxyz+Bwv5poqLt7nDO4RqoN783ZLADJ
to see what locations may have openings.

The second piece of good news is that ANYONE can now pre-register for a
vaccine at one of the mass vaccination locations like Gillette, Fenway and
the Reggie Lewis Center. Go to:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=nMXB3/Pz86KZjPE7XP4u5p5rlNxCr8bKlsxyz+Bwv5poqLt7nDNIRqoN783ZLADJ
to get on the list to be contacted when it is your turn. Hopefully that
will reduce the stress and challenges that people have been experiencing
just trying to get an appointment.

Yes, vaccine continues to be in short supply and in high demand. The Town
of Hanover has been receiving 100 doses a week and has been targeting our
first responders and oldest residents first. ATOTW will continue to bring
good news as it comes! If you have questions, don’t forget that you can
call the Town’s COVID-19 hotline at 781-924-1925, or the State DPH
Information line at 211. Stay safe out there!
