On Wednesday, April 5 from 5 to 7 p.m., up to 15 local camps will be on hand to offer information paired with some activities, prizes and a light dinner. Families will have an opportunity to speak with exhibitors offering day and overnight programs for children from kindergarten to high school. The evening will provide the opportunity to receive information and resources from many sources at one place and time.

April 7: Moore film ‘Where to Invade Next’ screened

Doreen Fabiano and Carlene Lundgren, local advocates for the environment and other important issues facing the world today will screen Michael Moore’s award-winning film Where to Invade Next at 6 p.m. on Friday, April 7 at The Meeting Place at Neighborhood Connections.

This epic movie is unlike anything the political provocateur has ever done. It is an expansive, hilarious and subversive comedy/documentary in which Moore confronts the most pressing issues facing America today and finds solutions in the most unlikely places. Where to Invade Next is an eye-opening call to arms to recapture the American Dream and restore it to, of all places, America.

There is no charge to attend, but space is limited, so call 824-4343 to register. The Meeting Place is located in Londonderry’s Mountain Marketplace, next to the Post Office.

April 8: Chester-Andover Easter Egg Hunt

This event is open to all Chester and Andover children from preschool to sixth grade. Parents are advised to arrive with their children by 8:45 a.m. so the children will not miss the opportunity for participation.
For further information, please contact Bill Dakin at 802-875-3456.
