A poem for National Poetry Month:
            An April Day
On such a day as this I think,
      On such as day as this,
When earth and sky and nature’s whole
      Are clad in April’s bliss;
And balmy zephyrs gently waft
      Upon your cheek a kiss;
Sufficient is it just to live
      On such a day as this.

Wildlife Tracking System Discussion


Learn about the Motus Wildlife Tracking System and how the Lakes Region is helping track the movement of small animals (birds, bats, insects) around the world. The Motus System will be the focus of the next Science Talk in Sandwich on Thursday, April 9 at 7 p.m. at the Benz Center, Heard Road, Center Sandwich.
Motus is an international collaborative research network that uses radio telemetry to track small flying organisms (birds, bats, and insects). Lightweight transmitters are affixed to the animals and then tracked by a network of over 2,000 receiving stations in 34 countries, including two in the Lakes Region. 
Guest speaker is Iain MacLeod, Executive Director of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, who has facilitated the installation of a receiver station in New Hampton and on Red Hill in Moultonborough.
MacLeod has been involved in coordinating the installation of those two local stations and has been tracking the bird species recorded by both towers. He will share the stories of some of these birds and discuss the wider implications for conservation of the Motus system. This event, sponsored by the Sandwich Conservation Commission, is free and open to the public.

North Sandwich Friends


North Sandwich Friends Meeting invites friends and neighbors to join their weekly Meeting for Worship from 10:00 to 11:00 am on Sunday at the North Sandwich Meetinghouse (354 Quaker Whiteface Rd., N Sandwich, NH 03259). 
Meeting for Worship is a time of quiet listening to the inner voice of spirit, God, the Light within –whatever term one uses—in community with others. We sit largely in silence for an hour; friends who are deeply moved to share an insight may rise and do so. Most Sundays, a very brief reading is offered reflecting Quaker values or history, which may provide a common focus for reflection. After the meeting, friends share individual reflections and announcements with each other.
