Featuring over 200 photographs of historic Moultonborough, many drawn from family albums and never before published, the selected images range from the late 1800s to the early 1960s. This new book’s focus is on historic buildings, farms, and camps, with period scenes of recreation and transportation. Image captions identify places and their local significance. The authors will be happy to sign your copy of this new community book celebrating Moultonborough history, which also makes a great holiday gift. A slideshow of images featured in the book, as well as additional photographs that could not fit in, will be on display on the big screen during the open house. Refreshments generously provided by the Friends of the Moultonborough Public Library. FREE and RSVP not required.

The MWC Hiking Group had a beautifully sunny and cool day to hike the trails of Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest in Center Harbor, NH. Group leader Jane Harrington was a perfect guide showing everyone the Pleistocene era boulder, the carnivorous pitcher plants, and her favorite, Winnie-the-Pooh’s home.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-ftaq3urtrjlts3vuy2" class="selected"><img id="ftaq3urtrjlts3vuy2" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/18RvclzF05FwlsVp5WHE5bCoFarXs99FDetyrxh9ApWzarXvk3WifuWCa5Z8Kiqg.png" alt="Closeup of drinks at the club" title="Closeup of drinks at the club" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/18RvclzF05FwlsVp5WHE5bCoFarXs99FDetyrxh9ApWzarXvk3WifuWCa5Z8Kiqg.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>

These AMAZING MWC members raised a whopping $5700 this year in the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk. The sun was truly shining down on them for all their good deeds. So please, if you see any them, give them a heartfelt shout-out. Over the years, this brings the total raised by MWC members for breast cancer research to over $160,000. Impressive!!!<figure id="figure-hbcdm2yp1lthhbvd7"><img id="hbcdm2yp1lthhbvd7" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1fDhrudACj4xr98omsULlT2os67CC1j5ETwcc74nqiQdb7wW7p90UwAm4Yp0DVUd.jpg" alt="Free to use license.

“First I drink the coffee, then I do things.”Conversation flowed easily during the first MWC Coffee Connections gathering held at Identity Coffee Co. in Meredith. We were fortunate to have 3 of our newest MWC members join us. It was wonderful hearing &nbsp;who they were, what they liked doing in their spare time (sewing, quilting, knitting), where they hailed from (as far away as Texas and California), when they moved to the area (8 years until recently), and how they were enjoying their time so far (fabulously, obviously). We all enjoyed coffee (and the scones were good, too) and we look forward to getting together next month for a little coffee, conversation, and connecting once again.<figure id="figure-2ftuc7lcxclthhfwt8"><img id="2ftuc7lcxclthhfwt8" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/eQqIm4MJqZqphq33jqjPEQiW5JxTlvz927HZpQSfgvOLDkjVjwZii6vPExMjXL10.jpg" alt="8th day of Women's Rights Protest against abortion law amendment / Wroclaw, Poland 31/10/2020" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>
