| November Meals On Wheels |  This is just a quick reminder to our Volunteer Drivers and our 'Lunch Guests'.
There will be no delivery of the Meals on Wheels Program on Friday, November 25th, the day after Thanksgiving. We will resume regular deliveries on Monday, November 28th.
Keep in mind, too, that as winter approaches, and the snow falls heavily on the Hills of Nelson, that we may have to cancel a day or two here and there. Stay tuned to WMUR TV and if they annouce "No School" for our area, then there will be no Meals on Wheels delivery on that day. |

| Nowell Sing We Clear
|  The Monadnock Folklore Society presents "Nowell Sing We Clear" on Friday, December 9 at 8:00 PM at the Dublin Community Church. $15/$12(senior, youth & advance internet sales). Our sincere apologies for listing the date as December 3rd in last week's newsletter.
This will be the thirty-seventh touring season of "Nowell Sing We Clear" with its unusual songs, carols, stories, and customs. Drawn mostly from English-language folk traditions, the songs tell both a version of the events and characters involved in the Christmas story and detail the customs which make up the twelve magical days following the return of the light at the winter solstice. Many of these ancient customs are the basis of the today's holiday traditions, such as visiting and feasting, gift-giving, carol singing from door-to-door and the adorning of houses and churches with garlands of evergreen.
For more information or for ticket information, please visit the Monadnock Folklore Society. |
