As the holiday season approaches, the Hingham Women's Club (HWC) is engaging the community with a series of events that embody the spirit of giving and celebration. The club, known for its philanthropic presence in Hingham, has already set a heartwarming precedent with its recent activities.
In October, the "Kids that Care" Trick or Treating event at Queen Anne's Nursing Home showcased the HWC’s commitment to spreading joy across generations. Local children, dressed in their Halloween best, shared smiles and laughter with the residents.
Further extending its outreach, HWC partnered with Bobbles and Lace for a remarkable shopping event with the owner Megan Cheek. Proceeds were generously donated to the Hingham Food Pantry.
With the season of giving upon us, the HWC is preparing for its annual 'Festival of Trees' fundraiser, slated for December 1st and 2nd during Christmas on the Square at the Hingham Community Center from 5-8:30 and the online auction where bidding is held until December 2 at 9 pm.. This event not only brightens the holiday landscape but also serves as a crucial fundraiser. Community members are invited to elevate this festive tradition by contributing items to adorn the trees or to be featured as auction prizes. An emphasis on sourcing donations from local businesses adds a layer of community support, nurturing the local economy while aiding charitable causes.
The club encourages groups like book clubs, sports teams, and neighborhood friends to collaborate on creating themed trees for the in person and online auction event.
Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore and the HWC Scholarship Fund, thereby supporting individuals facing homelessness and aiding the educational aspirations of local students.
The HWC extends a warm invitation to those interested in participating or joining the organization. Engaging with the HWC offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of others while partaking in the camaraderie and goodwill that define the club.

In Massachusetts, recent rainfall has been amplifying an already prevalent issue—increased radon levels in homes.
What is Radon and Why Should We Be Concerned?
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that results from the natural breakdown of rocks and soil This radioactive gas can seep into homes, especially through the lower levels of foundations. Extended exposure to high levels of radon is harmful and can cause lung cancer. Given that 1 in 4 homes in Massachusetts already registers high radon levels, it's a matter that requires our urgent attention.
Rain, Radon, and Other Contributing Factors
Recent rains have exacerbated the radon situation. But how? As the ground becomes saturated with water, it can drive radon from the soil into homes. Moreover, homeowners should be aware of changes in the land around their homes. Activities such as road paving, installation of new water or gas lines can affect how radon enters a residence.
Winter weather is another factor that amplifies radon levels. With windows and doors typically shut tight against the cold, radon-laden air gets trapped inside homes, potentially leading to elevated radon levels.
Is Your Home Safe?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), homes with radon levels of 4 or more should have a radon mitigation system installed. To put things in perspective, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health believes the average home in the state has 3.2 pCi/L of radon.
Mitigation systems are straightforward. Typically, they involve the insertion of a PVC pipe through the basement floor, which then runs up and outside the home, safely redirecting radon gas away from the living spaces.
Regular Testing is Key
The only way to know if your home has elevated radon levels is through testing. Whether you're a new homeowner or have been residing in the same place for years, testing should be a routine. Check every two years and especially after any significant changes to the land around your home. While radon testing kits are available for homeowners to use, professionals can also be hired to ensure thorough and accurate results
While radon might be out of sight and out of mind for many, the risks it poses are real. With the recent rains and the cold season around the corner, it's the perfect time to check the radon levels in your home.2023-09-27T07:10:43-07:002023-09-27T07:55:19-07:00Darleen Lannontag:darleenlannonrealestate.com,2012-09-20:5929Sizzling Summer Fun on the South Shore!It feels like the summer sun is in a hurry to dazzle us before autumn whispers its arrival.

Hingham's 4th of July Parade is an annual event that brings together the community in a celebration of patriotism and unity. It is a cherished tradition that requires significant funding to organize and present.
The 50 Flags Campaign serves as the primary fundraising source for covering the annual cost of organizing and presenting Hingham's 4th of July Parade. With a price tag of $55,000, this beloved event requires substantial financial support. It's important to note that no tax dollars are allocated to cover these expenses. The success of the 50 Flags Campaign is crucial in ensuring the parade remains a vibrant and cherished tradition for the Hingham community.
To show your support for the parade, the 50 Flags Campaign offers an opportunity to participate by renting flags. Flag installations will take place for a two-week period, starting on the weekend of June 24th and 25th. These flags will be proudly displayed throughout the community, symbolizing the collective spirit of patriotism. The removal of flags will occur on the weekend of July 8th and 9th, marking the conclusion of this remarkable display. You have until Tuesday, June 20th to reserve your flags. <a href="https://unipaygold.unibank.com/customerinfo.aspx">Reservations can be made online</a>.
The campaign offers two rental options: a minimum donation of $100 for 50 flags or $65 for 25 flags. You can choose the option that best suits your budget and desire to be part of this community-driven initiative.
One of the remarkable aspects of the 50 Flags Campaign is its direct support for youth programs. Volunteers from the Hingham High School sports teams: football, soccer, field hockey, track, crew, baseball, tennis, hockey and lacrosse. Also, South Shore SNAP, Hingham Youth Football, and town citizens help install and remove the flags.
80% of the gross proceeds from the donations is put towards growing the flag inventory, while funding the parade. The remainder of the proceeds goes to the volunteer youth groups that install and remove the flags. In 2022, that was $5,600.
Show your patriotism and join the 50 Flags Campaign today to help make this year's parade an unforgettable experience for all!2023-06-15T07:44:27-07:002023-06-16T11:45:34-07:00Darleen Lannontag:darleenlannonrealestate.com,2012-09-20:5688Celebrate Father's Day in Style: South Shore's Ultimate GuideFather's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by treating the special man in your life while supporting the local community?

In this blog post, we will take a look at some of the top happenings in Hingham.

First up this week, is the Hingham Education Foundation annual fundraiser taking place at Paragon Boardwalk.

One of the most beloved attractions in Hingham is the Farmers Market, which returns to downtown Hingham this weekend.

However, to maintain this beauty, it is important for the community to come together and participate in community clean-up events. These events not only help to keep the area clean and healthy but also create a sense of pride and ownership among residents.
There are many benefits of community clean-up events. First and foremost, they help to improve the local environment. Litter and debris can be harmful to wildlife, degrade water quality, and negatively impact the ecosystem as a whole. By removing trash and debris from the environment, we can help to mitigate these negative effects and preserve the natural beauty of the South Shore.

These libraries offer free and discounted passes to several museums and cultural institutions in the Greater Boston area.
<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/2337/image/JFK%20library.jpg" width="513" height="513" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />These passes provide an excellent opportunity to explore some of the best museums and attractions in the region, including the JFK Library, the New England Aquarium, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the Boston Children's Museum, among others.
The process for obtaining these passes varies depending on the library, but generally, you'll need to have a library card in good standing and reserve the pass in advance. Some libraries allow you to reserve passes online, while others require you to visit in person. It's important to note that demand for these passes can be high, especially during school vacation weeks. As a result, it's a good idea to plan ahead and reserve your passes as early as possible to ensure availability.
In addition to the museum passes, many libraries in the OCLN also offer other activities and programs during school vacation weeks. These can include storytimes, craft activities, and other events for children and families. <img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/2337/image/aquarium.jpg" width="419" height="419" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" />

A huge shout out to everyone who made it possible, especially: Jennifer Sherman, Wendy Hartman, Danielle Burke, Christine Andrews, Christina Campbell, Ashley, Thomas Auto Body, and of course...Santa!

4th of July in Hingam is truly one of resident's favorite days of the year. The whole day is a spectacle of town pride and patriotism. Main Street is framed with cheering crowds starting at 7am to encourage the runners in their over 4 mile journey from the Middle School to Hingham Square. The finish line, located downtown under a huge American flag, is truly a sight to be seen. Then more crowds start lining the area to camp out for the best vantage point for viewing the parade. This holiday is so loved the town even paints the street divider lines red, white and blue alond the parade route! From beach chairs peppered along the street to full blown lawn parties at the stunning lower Main Street homes, the whole town seems to make it out to cheer on the parade participants. If you have young children, make sure to bring a bag to collect some candy that the floats throw to the crowds! Make sure you wear sunscreen, bring a hat and lots of water. It gets hot in the sun - Brewed Awakenings and Atlantic Bagel are always open so its a good spot to grab an ice coffee or a snack!
Where is the best place to view the parade? Everyone you ask seems to have a different opinion but anywhere along the route - from the High School to Middle Street to Main Street ending at Station Street downtown - is a great spot! Wondering where to park? If you don't have a friend that lives near the route, try the library parking lot or town hall lot in order to view in Hingham Centre, and try the town lot behind Tosca for the best downtown viewing spots.

Summer is officially here and one way to embrace the season is to get outside and exercise! We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful coastal area with multiple venues that are perfect for outdoor classes.
