Ban of outdoor activities LIFTED

Suspension of all Outdoor Recreational Activities Lifted

The Town of Hanson Board of Selectmen announced on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, that the suspension of all outdoor recreational activities has been lifted.

It is important for people to be aware that the risk level assessed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has not changed and even with the decrease in mosquito activity, this does not completely eliminate the possibility of being bitten by an infected mosquito.

Personal protection should still be applied when outdoor at peak mosquito hours.

1st Annual Spelling Bee 2/5/11

First Annual Adult Spellling Bee sponsored by

Whitman Hanson Education Foundation

On February 5th, 2011 from 5-9 PM the Whitman-Hanson Education Foundation will be holding its first annual Adult Spelling Bee in the Whitman-Hanson Regional High School's Performing Arts Center. We are hoping that this event will bring our diverse community together for a wonderful fundraising event. Businesses, PTOs, neighborhood and community groups, town and public safety organizations, are all encouraged to form teams and/or to sponsor teams of up to eight Spellers. Teams will compete against each other in "swarms" of up to eight teams.  The winner of each swarm will then compete in the Championship Swarm. Teams can be sponsored by individuals, groups, and businesses. Sponsors can pull together their own team members or sponsor another group of individuals such as the Police Department or Fire Department, reading groups, neighborhood groups, sports groups, school groups, clergy, etc.,.. Competition will be intense to win the coveted Bee trophy as well as the prize for best costume.

The entry fee for each team is $150 and is tax-deductible. To enter, print and send an Adult Entry Form along with the entry fee to Whitman-Hanson Education Foundation , PO Box 270, Whitman, MA 02382.

Please call us at (781) 294-1261 or email us at info@wheducationfoundation.org with any questions.
