This meeting will mark our 90th birthday!
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
2:00 p.m. - Vestry
(Snow date: February 9)
On February 4th, 1922 a group of dedicated Hancock women came together to form a Woman's Club with the motto
for the public good
For 90 years the women of the Hancock Woman's Club have taken this motto to heart and done their best to give back to the community through charitable giving, scholarships and town beautification.
To celebrate this birthday the Woman's Club will present a historic story of the Club's past, what we are doing in the present and where we hope to go in the future. The Club's scrapbooks dating from 1922 to today and old pictures of our founding members will be on display
An old fashioned tea will be served after the presentation.
All are welcome to come and celebrate with us. As always if school is canceled on that day we will not meet. For this special event we have a snow date of Thursday, Feb. 9th. Hope to see you at the Hancock Vestry on Feb 8th at 2:00 pm.

The fifth season of Hancock’s Norway Pond Festival Singers begins on Thursday, September 15 at 12:15.
Rehearsals are generally held on Thursdays from 12:15 to 1:45. This schedule is optimal for mothers who have to pick up their children at school at 2 p.m., for women who work and who can take a slightly longer lunch hour and for women for whom a daytime rehearsal is preferable to a night one. There are usually about 25 women in the group.
- The first session will focus on music for the holiday season and will run from September 15 through October 27.
- The second session is in January and February
- The third session is in May and June.
Singers are welcome to sign up for any or all of these sessions.
If a potential member is interested but not entirely sure about joining, she is encouraged to come and sing for a couple of rehearsals to try it out.
Rehearsals for the Norway Pond Festival Singers are held in conductor Jody Hill Simpson’s home on 41 Main Street.
If you are interested, email Jody or call her at 525.9303, or email Tricia Froling or call her at 525.3851.

Once again, New England has a team in a major sporting event, and most everyone is pretty excited. But for those who could care less, Fred Marple has some advice to keep them from becoming complete social outcasts.
Click here to see what Fred has to say. As usual, his advice is probably worth what you paid for it.

RIght now, Fred and the missus are down South on another boondoggle... er, fact-finding mission for the town of Frost Heaves. But they'll be back in time for our big Spring show in March.
The show has become so popular--for reasons we can't fathom--we've added another location:
|
Peterborough Players Theatre
Peterborough, NH
March 23, 24 - 7:30 pm
March 24 - 2 pm matinée
Pratt Auditorium, Jaffrey, NH
March 31 - 7:30 pm

Tickets are still only $15, a Yankee bargain. You can click here to pre-order your tickets online now and have them waiting for you at the box office. We have been known to sell out, so don't delay. (Tickets will be available at our regular outlets starting in early March.)
Enjoy the game--or not--and enjoy the rest of winter. We'll see you soon.
