Greetings!
Finally!
It's Springtime in Nelson!
Time for mud, crocus in bloom, festivals, and coming together with friends and neighbors.
The folks of Moving In Step have planned an evening of celebration for Saturday, April 16th at 6:30 pm at the Nelson Town Hall.
We'll begin with a Pot Luck of finger foods and desserts, move on to short updates from the town's committee chairs, and end with what Nelson is famous for ... lots and lots of local music!
For more information, contact Kathy Schillemat. See you there!

 | Remember to Register Fido!
|  It's April, and time once again to make that trip to the Town Offices to register your dog. As of this year, the Town of Nelson will no longer be providing the "Inventory Report", that nice little piece of paper that we all would receive this month, get to fill out, and return. It's proven not to be cost effective.
In any case, the laws have not changed. All dogs residing in the community are required to be registered in April. You can take care of this very quickly by visiting Teri Upton (Town Tax Collector) at the Nelson Town Offices.
|
| Coming this Summer!
| Meals On Wheels will be starting in Nelson in early summer, but your help is needed to get the program rolling! Volunteers are needed to deliver noontime meals to the homes of Nelson seniors on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
 Deliveries will typically take an hour and a half to two hours time, depending on the number of deliveries. People who are interested use their own vehicle and must attend a two hour training session to become a volunteer.
Volunteers may choose to deliver once a month or more; substitutes are also needed. The Nelson service will be part of the Cheshire County Meals On Wheels program sponsored by Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services (HCS).

| Weekly Community Quote |  "What should young people do with their lives today?
Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured."
