Selectman candidate’s forum on Feb. 12
The Northside News will host a session for candidates for the Board of Selectmen—Jonathan Dwyer, Jennifer Glass and Allen Vander Meulen—in a discussion of issues facing the town on Sunday, Feb. 12 from 12:30-2:30 p.m. at the Lincoln North Office Building (55 Old Bedford Road). Residents will have a chance to hear from each candidate, pose questions and discuss issues. (Editor’s note: the Lincoln Squirrel will publish interviews with Glass and Vander Meulen before this event.)
Donated toiletries sought
Women and children who are in shelters remaking their lives after experiencing domestic violence need toiletries like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, hand and body lotions, and more. If you have unopened toiletries from hotels or stores that you can’t use, please bring them to Bemis Hall by Friday, Feb. 6. A volunteer will take them to local domestic violence organizations for Valentine’s Day distribution.
“Lincoln marchers” start email list
Some of the “Lincoln marchers” who went to the Boston Women’s March for America (or those who went to the Washington March) on January 21 are organizing an email network to facilitate follow-up action on behalf of the march objectives of peace and justice. The group is starting with the “10 actions 100 days” agenda that can be found on the website of the Women’s March for America (www.womensmarch.com/100). If you would like to add your name to the Lincoln email list, whether or not you actually marched on that date, please contact Barbara Slayter at bslayter@comcast.net.
LOMA features Greg Klyma
Greg Klyma will be the featured performer at the next LOMA (Lincoln Open-Mike Acoustic) night on Monday, Feb. 13 from 7-10 p.m. at the Lincoln Public Library. Admission is free and refreshments are provided. Klyma will perform a half-hour set starting around 8:30. His articulate and amusing stories and populist ideals make him a rare young artist in the mold of Woody and Ramblin’ Jack. A nationally touring performer, he has seven albums to his credit; his latest, Another Man’s Treasure, features the song Livin’ the Life.
LOMA is a monthly event. Performers can sign up at the event or email Rich Eilbert at loma3re@gmail.com for a slot. There is a sound system with mikes and instrumental pickups suitable for individuals or small groups.
