and Post Office into a permanent home for the preservation of our town’s history. This
repository will be a place where we will collect, catalog, store and display artifacts,
documents, books, genealogy and ephemera related to the history of Wendell,
Massachusetts. The new home will be a location where research and learning take
place and where we will celebrate the past, present and future through museum shows,
events, readings and concerts. The establishment of a historical society with a
permanent home will be a first, meeting a long-standing need for our rural community.

| 2 | November 16, 2024 | Rani Arbo Harmony, rhythm, indelible songs – these are the hallmarks of Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem, the New England based folk quartet now in its 20th year. From the Newport Folk Festival to California World Music Festival and beyond, this band’s steadfast brew of wit, camaraderie, and musicality leaves audiences everywhere humming and hopeful, spirits renewed.
Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem are Rani Arbo (fiddle, guitar), Andrew Kinsey (bass, banjo, ukulele), Anand Nayak (electric and acoustic guitars) and Scott Kessel (percussion). At the helm, Arbo is
“blessed with an unmistakable voice, both light and sultry, with a hint of tremolo and smoke” (Acoustic Guitar). With Kinsey and Nayak’s vibrant baritones and Kessel’s resonant bass, the band’s signature lockstep harmonies can shake the rafters or hush the room. Arbo’s fiddle is sweet and sinewy, while Nayak’s guitar stretches across genre lines. Kinsey’s old-time bass anchors the deep groove of Kessel’s homemade percussion kit — a truly funky collection of cardboard boxes, tin cans, caulk tubes, packing-tape tambourines, bottle-cap rattles, Mongolian jaw harps, and a vinyl suitcase. Rani Arbo's website | No Assault & Batteries Concerned residents of Massachusetts are trying to preserve the finite resources of the town of Wendell. No Assault & Batteries is a citizen effort founded in October 2023 to protect the town of Wendell and surrounding region, population and natural environment by preventing construction of a 105MW lithium battery energy storage system planned by New Leaf Energy Inc.

We encourage you to learn more about future building improvement planning and how you can help to make these dreams come true! Wendell Meetinghouse's website |
