The Andover Community Hub has some good news to share with Andover.

Campaign Contributions Growing: Announced in the November Beacon with a $100,000 goal, the Hub’s capital campaign has to date reached nearly $40,000 in gifts and pledges to help improve building access, create a community kitchen, apply a new roof, and add an accessible bathroom. 

Katherine Stearns and Brenda Lance lead a quilting class at the Hub.

Interested readers can find more information about the campaign at the Hub’s website at AndoverHub.org. The message from the Hub board of directors:  “Come on in! We need your help!”

Activities Returning: After months of few if any public events, the schedule of activities at the Andover Community Hub is once again growing.  Four of the November offerings included Realtor Ty Morris’s presentation on Andover real estate (see article on page ??), a quilting class led by Katherine Stearns and Brenda Lance, a Smartphone photography session led by Cindy Benson, and one of the informal twice-weekly (Monday and Thursday) Wednesday morning conversations over coffee.

Upcoming events are listed elsewhere in this issue of the Beacon. If you’d like to be alerted to events via email, please send your email address to TheAndoverHub@nullgmail.com.  Again, “Come on in!”
