Community
Hooray for the Community Calendar in the Bethel Citizen! Remember that you can request an AFCI ride to any of these events. Note especially the return of the Western Mountains Senior College Players – Friday and Saturday, November 19 and 20, 7-9 p.m. at McLaughlin Auditorium, Gould Academy. Admission is free, but note that you must call to reserve your seat.
A newcomer in town: the Mahoosuc Messenger! What’s that? Two local residents, Becca Hoskins and Liz Repetto, thought there should be more ways for people to tune in to all the events and services in our corner of Western Maine, so they created a podcast. What’s that? It’s easy. Here’s the link: https://mahoosucmessengerpodcast.com/; just click to listen to the most current episode; you can also enter your email address (bottom of the page) to receive new episodes. We bet there are things you didn’t know about what’s going on “around the neighborhood”.
Help us support Bethel’s District Exchange! Any ideas for a new home for their valuable services? Send us any suggestions.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
You can read more here about our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is also found on our FAQs.
