NESFA - In Times To Come - 8 February 2010

In Times to Come

Please report any errors, and any relevant events which are not listed but are in or near New England or otherwise of interest to NESFA® members, to calendar@nesfa.org.

In addition to the activities listed here, some NESFA® members gather at the clubhouse nearly every Wednesday evening to work and socialize; the building is almost always open from at least 6 pm to 10 pm.

The dumpster is emptied every other week, normally on Thursday. If that day is or follows New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas, pickup will be on Friday instead. Please leave a clear path to the dumpster, and plenty of clear space around it, on pickup days.

The clubhouse is cleaned monthly by professional cleaners, normally on the last Friday of each month. Please schedule your activities to not interfere with their work.

NESFA events are highlighted like this.
