Friday Food Backpack Program begins again
The School Year has begun, and we are once again collecting food for the Methuen Schools 'Friday Food Backpack Program'. This program directly and discreetly assists Methuen students and their families. These students rely on the school breakfast and lunch, and need a little assistance over the weekend or during school vacations & holidays. Our patrons have donated generously over the past couple of years, and we thank you for your help. If you would like to donate, we have a basket set up near the Main Desk. The suggested donations include canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, beans, rice, soup, tuna fish, cereal, nuts, peanut butter and granola bars. Please, no glass containers as many of these backpacks go home with the students on the bus. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

happier? Many of us do and we think we will feel happier as a result of something - such as finding a new job, finishing a project, losing 10 pounds, etc. However, psychologists and neurologists are now realizing that happiness can be more readily achieved through changing the way we think. Lizzie Linn Casanave, professor of philosophy at Northern Essex Community College, will explain this revolutionary concept and provide you with practical tools for achieving this new mindset. This program is brought to you in conjunction with the NECC Speakers Bureau.
