Come to Pierce House for “First Day”

Whether you’re new to Lincoln or have lived here forever, come to historic Pierce House (17 Weston Rd.) on January 1 to celebrate the new year together at the town’s 16th annual First Day gathering. Start the year right with legendary soups, lively music, and congenial company! Complimentary admission for Lincoln residents, but donations are gratefully accepted for the upkeep of this special town resource. For more information, call 781-259-9757.

Self-defense classes for women in the new year

The Lincoln Police will be running three women’s classes in 2015: one in January, one in February and one in November. The January and February classes are now open for enrollment.

  • Session A: January 15 and 20 from 6:30-9:30 p.m., Recreation Department
  • Session B: February 3 and 10 from 6:30-9:30 p.m., Recreation Department
Each session will be two nights for three hours apiece. On the first night, you’ll go over basic safety and then learn basic self-defense tactics and moves. On the second night, you’ll practice the tools you’ve learned and then an officer will suit up in full pads and we will go through common scenarios where you will be “attacked” and need to fight your way out. The class is free, but you must pre-register. Please contact Jena Salon to sign up, or contact her with any questions or concerns at  215-514-5963 or jenasalon@gmail.com.
