To Kill a Mockingbird Community book discussion.

The Lincoln Public Library will be hosting a community book discussion of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by HARPER LEE. The library has 50 copies of the book to distribute throughout the community. GET YOUR COPY at the Lincoln Public Library


AN EVENING WITH ATTICUS FINCH
On Wednesday March 17th at 7:00pm at the Father Roger Bilodeau Community Center on Pollard Rd.
Atticus Finch steps from the pages of “To Kill A Mockingbird” and brings to life the tragedy and triumph of Harper Lee’s classic novel. THIS PROGRAM IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL.

As a loving father, compassionate friend and uncompromising attorney, Atticus represents the divine spark in the human spirit as he leads a cast of other unlikely heroes in this story. The courtroom drama, the poignant interactions between father and children, the harsh realities of bigotry and hatred blend to make this a compelling theatrical event. The time is 1930’s Alabama but the enduring truth is for now and always.
[Finch is portrayed by actor Richard Clark]

BOOK DISCUSSION
On Thursday March 25th, at 6:00pm, we will engage in a lively discussion with Dartmouth Scholar Suzanne Brown. This program will take place at the Lincoln Cinema 4 theater at 6:00pm.

EDIE CLARK
Baked Beans and Fried Clams: How Food Defines a Region

Thursday October 22, 2009 7:00pm
Upper Pemigewasset Historical Society
26 Church Street
Lincoln NH
Baked beans, Indian pudding, fried clams, and lobster rolls... so many foods are distinctive to New England. Does food have anything to say about who we are as a region, about who we are as New Englanders? Bean-hole beans, johnnycakes, chocolate chip cookies, and pork pies -- you can find them all over the country now, but they all originally came from New England like so many of the customs and mores familiar to all. The presentation is informative, humorous, and chock-full of fascinating nuggets about the history of our regional foods. It includes reference to some of New England's more famous foodies -- Fannie Farmer, Hayden Pearson, and Julia Child -- and includes an analysis of how the changing times of New England have affected the way we eat.

Refreshments will be served, sample some of the foods of the region, Baked beans, Indian pudding, New England Clam Chowder, Tollhouse cookies and Apple Cider.
Program free and open to all
Call 745-8159 for more information
