Hancock Old Home Day Photograph Exhibit
Once again we are planning the August 21 Old Home Day Photography Exhibit. It is our hope that you will show some of your work. We love to exhibit photographs of Hancock’s beautiful scenes and people. However we will accept other subjects as well. This year we will have two sections: one for adult photographers and one for those photographers under the age of 17.
All photographers are to deliver their work to the Vestry before 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning and pick it up by 4 p.m. Each item exhibited should be suitable for hanging. Please label with name and phone number. Ribbons will be awarded. If you have any questions you can call Ellen Kidd at 525.9334.

Hancock Hospital Auxiliary Bake Sale
Saturday, August 21st, Meeting House, 8-noon.
The Auxiliary Bake Sale has been an Old Home Day tradition for over 50 years. Beginning around August 11th, the members and friends of the Hancock Hospital Auxiliary will begin telephoning Hancock residents to ask for donations of home-baked goods such as breads, cookies, brownies, pies, and other pastries for the Bake Sale. Baked goods should be brought to the Meeting House the day of the sale at 7:30 a.m. The Bake Sale will open at 8:00 a.m. and continue until noon.
The proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Monadnock Community Hospital to be used for patient related items. Those that are not able to donate baked goods; monetary donations will be greatly appreciated. If there are any residents that are not been reached by telephone and would like to make a donation of food or money, it will be most welcomed. Please, make all checks payable to the Hancock Hospital Auxiliary.
The Bake Sale is our only Fund Raiser. Last year our money went toward the purchase of an Irrigation & Aspiration Hand Piece for the Dept. of Ophthalmology (Dr. Renna and Dr. Welch) as a result of the proceeds from the Bake Sale.
