Community Events

Mardi Gras
The Mission Board of the First Congregational Church of Hopkinton is  
hosting a Mardi Gras Dinner and Silent Auction on Saturday Feb. 18 to  
support a group of volunteers traveling to Biloxi, MS to assist needy  
families with the continued recovery and reconstruction after  
Hurricane Katrina. Doors open at 5:00 pm at the Harold Martin School,  
Hopkinton, NH.  Tickets
are $8 and are available at the door. Music, food and fun for the  
whole family and great items available at auction.

Friends Program Mentoring
The Friends Youth Mentoring Program provides children with a  
supportive, non-judgmental mentor who can serve as a positive model.   
Our mentoring program matches volunteers age 16 and up (Senior  
Friends) with youth (Junior Friends) ages 6-18 in a one to one  
relationship.
The primary goal of the mentoring relationship is to create  
opportunities for youth which will lead to enhanced self-esteem and  
improved behavior at home, in school, and in the community.
We invite you to join us for Mentor Orientation and learn more about  
this valuable volunteer role on Thursday, March 15th, 2012 from  
6:00-8:30 pm at the Hopkinton Library Community Room. Light dinner  
provided. Please register by March 12th by calling Sue Withers or  
Brooke Noonan at 603-228-1193 or e-mail bnoonan at friendsprogram.org.

Junior Service League
The Junior Service League puts on a play each year to benefit women  
and children in need and to provide the opportunity for children to  
see live theater.   Hopkinton School District staff members  Kelly  
Conley (Glumpwart) and Carol Clark (Swartzbuckle) star in this version  
of Rapunzel.

The play is on Friday, March 16 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, March 17,  
at 2:00 p.m. at St. Paul's School in Concord.  The cost for tickets is  
$5.
