Newcomers’ event on Nov. 6
People who have moved into Lincoln within the past two years are invited to a Welcome Newcomers event on Sunday, Nov. 6 from 3-5 p.m. at Pierce House. This informal event is a great way for new residents to meet neighbors, new and old, and to learn more about what is fondly referred to as “the Lincoln way.” Representatives from the town’s elected and volunteer boards, committees and membership organizations will be on hand to meet newcomers and answer any questions about getting involved in the life of Lincoln. Light refreshments will be served. Advance registration is requested; please email Virginia Rundell at vq@verizon.net.
