Mud Season Trail Update


Each year the Squam Lakes Association, in conjunction with landowners who allow public access to their land, temporarily closes sensitive trails around Squam. As the snow melts, muddy conditions force hikers to move off the trails and onto the softer ground on the side. This loosens rocks, weakens trees, and creates erosion. In order to protect the network, please avoid hiking on closed trails until we reopen them when conditions dry up!
The following trails are CLOSED as of 3/21:
Rattlesnake network, Squam Range, Mt. Morgan Trail, Mt. Percival Trail, Crawford Ridgepole Trail, and Cotton Mountain Trail.
Here are some alternative hikes that are OPEN while you wait:
Belknap Woods, Whitten Woods, Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest, Red Hill, Castle in the Clouds.

May Contradance


The Sandwich Jam musicians are hosting another Family/ Community contradance on Saturday May 3, 6:30 to 8:30pm at Sandwich town hall. This is our second fundraiser for the town hall piano. Eric came to tune "Patti Piano" a few weeks ago and he was able to bring her voice partway to pitch. This is because it had been sooooo... long since she had been tuned, maybe at least 10 years. One more tuning by this professional is required to get her "up to snuff". 
This family dance is both kid-centric and easy for adults, too. No experience needed. If you're looking for an inexpensive fun family activity, all kids under 12 are free. Suggested donation is $4 per person. Dances will be taught and listeners are welcome, too. This is a wonderful New England tradition that is enjoying a revival especially among the young 'uns. And, it's live music by local musicians! Win/win!
Email Christine Woodman at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Hello, beginner to intermediate musicians. This is a reminder that we gather every Wednesday from 6:30 to 8pm at the Sandwich town hall for a free, fun-filled music jam.

Advice To the Players


The snow is melting, birds are chirping, and auditions have been held, which means just one thing: it's time for the annual...Bard's Birthday Fundraising Campaign!
Once again, a gift to your favorite New Hampshire Shakespeare company is at the top of Mr. Shakespeare’s wishlist – but this time with a twist. A fun fact about running a theater company like this is that cash flow is radically different from quarter to quarter. Without getting into the nitty gritty, that pendulum makes some wide swings between income and expense throughout the year.
A proven method for mitigating that inconsistency is by fostering a community of sustaining donors. Their monthly, automated contributions help us make sure we’re shipshape for our summer camps, our productions, our smaller scale programming, our education offerings, and more.
The goal this year is to reach $1,000 in monthly contributions, and including the current core of sustaining donors, they’re nearly halfway there!
For stepping into this innovative model of donating with us, Willy Shakes thinks you deserve a little gift, too. Anyone who pledges a new monthly gift this April will receive a personalized performance of a sonnet recorded by a member of our company – and we’re taking requests! To donate, visit advicetotheplayers.org and click on Bard’s Birthday Campaign; or, you may mail a check to:

Waxing Moon Gardens


Waxing Moon’s latest newsletter is out: Here is an excerpt: “Farming season has officially begun in the Intervale. Signs of life are starting to pop up all around the farm. The spinach that overwintered in the field is looking green, the garlic is just beginning to poke through the mulch, and early spring flower bulbs are slowly emerging. Our seed starting area is jam packed with leeks, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, eggplant and kale. After the next couple chilly nights, some of the more established seedlings will be making their way out to the tunnel to make room for the next round of starts. We’ve been plotting to make some changes to our spring seeding area, as it seems we’ve outgrown the space!” You can sign up to receive news and updates about what’s growing on the farm at https://www.waxingmoongardens.com.

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).
Quakers, or “Friends,” have their roots in 17th century England. We have no explicit creed, nor does Quaker practice reflect a hierarchy among individuals. Believing that there is that of God in every person, Quakers welcome all who seek to join us in common spirit. Friends seek to live lives guided by six “testimonies”: Integrity, Simplicity, Peace, Equality, Community and Stewardship.
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.


In the Round


In the Round takes place Sundays at 8:45 – 10:30 am at the Benz Center, 18 Heard Road, Sandwich.
In the Round, a community discussion group for the past 25 years, meets weekly in Sandwich. The topic is always thought-provoking and related to what people are thinking about these days. In the Round welcomes all points of view, reasonably and respectfully considered. Anyone who wishes to join in that spirit of dialog is invited. Various viewpoints are welcomed. Everyone is welcome.
