July 2026 Clarion Closing Date – 6/22/26
A week away for your submissions for the July 2026 CLARION. Closing date for the July issue is Monday, June 22 – 5 pm Walpole time. – or earlier if you can. Submission guidelines, and contact email are on the CLARION website.
Walpole does not have any 250th Anniversary specific events planned, but if you are aware of something in the area that CLARION readers may like to attend, do let me know. I will mention Keene’s Monadnock 250 celebration, which is hosting many area events.
Your early submissions are always welcome and appreciated as I start developing the layout well beforehand. If you have some “news” send it along. In addition, I like to have on-hand material of interest that is not time-sensitive to fill space to round out a pleasing issue. So, if you would “like to be in print” and have something to write and share (images as well), send along for possible inclusion space permitting. Please do remember, it is the advertisers in each issue that make this community publication possible, so please support and thank them.
If you have any questions, or interest in placing an advertisement, reaching over 1900 Walpole, North Walpole and Drewsville addresses, I welcome your inquiries, so please do get in touch with me. Advertising information and contact information is on the CLARION website.
Thank you, RAY BOAS, Publisher
Reminder: Great Decisions at the Library – 6/15/26
“Great Decisions” Meets on Monday, June 15, 6:00 p.m. in the library
“Ukraine and European Security”
The grim and grinding war in Ukraine is well into its fifth year, with no end in sight. The threat of further Russian aggression has forced European nations to confront their own vulnerability in view of America’s sharply decreased role in a frayed alliance.
Join our discussion of the challenges to European security and beyond. Adrian Basora, former U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, will serve as moderator.
“Great Decisions” will meet on Monday, June 15, at 6:00 pm in the Walpole Town Library. The reading from the Foreign Policy Association is “Ukraine and the Future of European Security” by Thomas Wright, eminent scholar and practitioner who has served on the U.S. National Security Council. A copy of his article can be emailed to you upon request to Library Director Jane Malmberg: jmalmberg@walpoletownlibrary.org
All are welcome to join in person or via Zoom. You can click above to request the Zoom link from Jane Malmberg and instead join at 6:30 pm, following the “Master Class” video which cannot be shown via Zoom.
