ANNOUNCEMENTS HPC’s Annual Backpack to School Program is Underway! The Homeless Prevention Council’s 2019 Backpack to School program will run from July through September. Through the Backpack to School program, HPC provides Lower Cape students from kindergarten through high school with backpacks and supplies to support their academic efforts. The program is coordinated to meet the specific needs of each student by using back-to-school lists provided by teachers throughout the Lower Cape. This year, the Nauset Rotary Club is enhancing HPC’s Backpack to School program by organizing a shoe drive for children and youth living on the Lower Cape. The Rotary Club’s goal is to raise $5,000 by August 1st, 2019, which will provide 150 gift cards to support the purchase of new shoes for Lower Cape students at the beginning of the upcoming school year. You can learn more, donate, and sign up to volunteer with Backpack to School at www.hpccapecod.org/backpack-to-school. Press Contact: Hadley Luddy, HPC Executive Director [email protected]; (508) 214-3282 For information regarding donating, volunteering, and other program specifics, contact Maureen Linehan: [email protected]; (508) 255-3325 The Homeless Prevention Council is an independent, non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization.

Provincetown Voted #1 by Budget Travel 10 Coolest Small Towns in America 2019 10 Coolest Small Towns in America 2019 Click for a Great Video From Cape Cod to the Monterey Peninsula, from the Rocky Mountains to the Adirondacks, we’re celebrating gorgeous, welcoming communities. At Budget Travel, we are all about discovering affordable destinations that go far beyond the obvious vacation choices. Over the past fourteen years, a passionate and accomplished team of editors, writers, and photographers have had a blast bringing you a different kind of travel experience: The Coolest Small Towns in America. What makes a small town “cool”? We believe that it’s cool to reflect the principles upon which the United States was founded, including cultural and ethnic diversity, the free exchange of creative ideas, and an entrepreneurial spirit that lifts all citizens in a community. We believe it’s cool to welcome and celebrate a diversity of visitors, the way Provincetown, Massachusetts, has been welcoming LGBTQ+ travelers for decades. We believe it’s cool to live in harmony with nature, the way Pacific Grove, California, became Butterfly Town USA and Saranac Lake, New York, and its neighboring towns in Adirondack State Park have pursued a sustainable tourism industry that respects the region’s pristine lakes and mountains. We believe it’s cool to boast a vibrant downtown, cutting-edge cuisine, and a community spirit that makes visitors feel like friends, as all the towns on this year’s list do. Here, Budget Travel’s 14th annual 10 Coolest Small Towns in America, an editor-curated to-do list for 2019 and beyond.
