FRIENDS OF WALPOLE TOWN LIBRARY ANNOUNCE PUBLIC POTLUCK AND SEASON OPENING PROGRAM

     The Friends of the Walpole Town Library have received a grant from the New Hampshire

Humanities Council to sponsor humorist and author Rebecca Rule as the guest speaker at their

potluck dinner to be held at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, September 30, upstairs in the Walpole Town

Hall.

     Rule is well known on the Humanities circuit as a master of Yankee humor with jokes and

stories collected from years of small-town gatherings in and around New Hampshire. Her

storytelling style is reminiscent of "Bert and I" and often incorporates audience participation.

     The potluck dinner is the Friends kick-off for a series of entertaining and thought-provoking

monthly programs being scheduled by the Friends in partnership with the Humanities Council.

These will take place at the Walpole library, Main Street, Walpole, at 7:00 pm on the 2nd

Wednesday of each month from October through April, excluding December.

     All programs are free and the public is encouraged to attend. For more information about the Walpole programs please call Judy Shumway at 603-756-3664. For more information about the

New Hampshire Humanities Council in Concord please call 603-224-4071.
