Yummy Cady shares an uplifting New Year’s message encouraging us all to engage in community life in order to find joy in a troubled world. A photo collage captures highlights of Dublin’s community life in 2024 to remind us of what we share.
Volunteer leaders of the Dublin Public Library and the Planning Board share the work they’re doing, and make a plea for interested residents to get involved. A group of Dublin neighbors wants to install a granite peace pole in an accessible location, and is collecting signatures to put this project on the town warrant in the spring.
In January, we remember the legacy of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Events with speakers and music will be held in Hancock and Jaffrey, focusing on themes of justice, racial discrimination, voting rights, and citizenship. All are invited.
January is also a time when many of us pledge to prioritize health, so consider attending a health and wellness seminar at Monadnock Community Hospital. Offerings include spine health, women’s cardiovascular wellness, and colorectal cancer prevention. Home Healthcare, Hospice, and Community Services welcomes new team member Cindy Patnaude, care transitions specialist, to serve the community.
Our ConVal school board representative shares details about a proposed renovation of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) space. Our principal teacher at Dublin Consolidated School describes winter activities and learning, including the Winter Fridays program when many DCS students travel to Crotched Mountain to learn how to ski and ride.
Feathered friends are on our minds too – read about visiting pine grosbeaks, and the results of the 20th annual Pack Monadnock hawk watch. The Conservation Commission is recommending a new tool to deploy in the battle against invasive plants, and the Harris Center’s Susie Spikol has been named Conservation Educator of the Year.
The DubHub provides many opportunities to stay busy while winter continues, including an art reception and photo contest, a visit with Buddy the Goat who wants to repurpose your Christmas tree, a coffee house and open mic featuring Monadnock area musicians Kota, and a chili cook-off, in addition to all the classes and gatherings that take place every month.
In addition, NH Humanities is offering a Zoom program on our National Parks. MAxT is celebrating their grand re-opening in their new space at Noone Falls, and Music On Norway Pond will feature vocal ensemble Culomba in a concert of close harmony singing from around the world. The River Center also offers a number of programs for young parents and families.
With all this to keep us busy, let it snow!
