The Talk Of The Town
------The new information board at the Chatham Community Center is the “talk of the town” according to Kaeden Quinn (shown here with the new addition). The board debuted in December, and Susan Mabile, the town’s recreation and beaches administrative assistant, said the screen in the lobby is where folks can find classes, events, alerts or important information on a daily basis.
Whale Pals

The screening was sold out, but a second showing has been scheduled at the Orpheum for Saturday, Jan. 20. Tickets are now on sale.
A Gala For Mary
