It was founded in 2004 in the aftermath of the defeat of<br \/>\nthe high school override in 2002.  Two successful school overrides later, I<br \/>\nam proud to note that ATOTW has always been out front spreading important<br \/>\nand reliable information for discerning Hanover residents.  Simply put,<br \/>\n&#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221; makes connections, and helps to create positive<br \/>\nchange in Hanover.<\/p>\n<p>ATOTW will today bring you news of the latest program at the senior center<br \/>\nor through Park and Rec, and will highlight the brightest spots in the<br \/>\nworld of art or history in Hanover.  It&#8217;s more formal than Facebook,<br \/>\nSnapchat or Instagram, but it&#8217;s also very accessible and received by well<br \/>\nover 1500 Hanoverians.  That&#8217;s purportedly larger than the Hanover<br \/>\nMariner&#8217;s subscription base!  There&#8217;s no room for feedback like there is on<br \/>\nsocial media, but there is also no room for annoying complainers or<br \/>\ninaccurate information.  How do I sign my kids up for lacrosse?  How about<br \/>\nkindergarten?  What&#8217;s the scoop on that new Winter Festival in Four<br \/>\nCorners?  When will the Cub Scouts come get my Christmas tree for<br \/>\nrecycling?  The information is all there on ATOTW.  And if it&#8217;s not in your<br \/>\nin-box, it&#8217;s in the ATOTW archives, found here:  https:\/\/atotw.com\/archive\/<br \/>\n.  It&#8217;s like having an electronic file cabinet for all of your Hanover<br \/>\nnews!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s your venue, and I am delighted to have been the catalyst and cog in<br \/>\nthe wheel of so much positive change in our little town.  I could not have<br \/>\ncontinued without the unfailing support of tech guru and Hanover resident<br \/>\nMike Van Lare &#8211; thanks, as always, for all you do, Mike.  I also owe thanks<br \/>\nto Joan Norris and Stephanie Gertz, who helped me weather the storm of<br \/>\ntransitioning to a full-time job three and a half years ago.  But mostly, I<br \/>\nowe thanks to all of you, my fellow Hanoverians, for sticking with me and<br \/>\nhelping to make ATOTW a reliable source of great information about all that<br \/>\nis good locally in Hanover.<\/p>\n<p>ATOTW is only as good as the information you send me.
