Directions to Centre Congregational Church:

From north or south: Take Route 91 to Exit 2, go east to US Route 5, turn left on Route 5 (Main Street) to a large white church on the right (diagonally opposite the Post Office).

To those of you planning to attend, Dick Nethercut’s cousin, Carol Edmonds, whose husband Fred is pastor at Centre Congregational, passed on the following:

There will be a funeral in the sanctuary at 10:00 also. Please use the ramp and door to the right of the sanctuary, which is believed to be marked "church offices". Enter and turn right to the end of the hallway to the Library where we will meet. There will be signs for AVP posted. The church parking lot will probably be filled due to the funeral. There are public parking lots behind the post office on the left hand side, and a half-block north of the church on the right hand side. It is metered parking so be sure to bring a supply of quarters. There is a Subway just a bit further up the street on the right for those of us not bringing our own food. There is a kitchen and rest rooms downstairs from the library.

For those of you heading back to Southern New Hampshire or Eastern Massachusetts after the meeting, there is a special event in Keene, New Hampshire about half an hour away. It is the annual Pumpkin Festival, which frequently receives national media coverage.
