Come explore 38 photos from APC members presenting images interpreting this years’ theme: OUTDOORS.
“Outdoors” is more than just a place beyond walls—it’s a state of connection. It’s where light changes by the minute, weather leaves its fingerprints on everything, and life unfolds without a script. The outdoors holds quiet moments and wild ones: the stillness of early morning air, the drama of clouds in motion, the small stories of people, animals, and landscapes sharing space. It is freedom, unpredictability, and perspective—a reminder that the world is always larger, richer, and more alive than any room can contain.Free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

Spring Concert 2026: North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra

Andover Baptist Church

Take a journey with artist James Dargan, where he centers female composers through a music and spoken word celebration!&nbsp;The concert will be dedicated to Alice Hinton (1869-1951), a successful Andover businesswoman, concert organizer, and musician, who performed at Andover Baptist Church.
Artist James Dargan presents his Passion Program “Ladies Only” that celebrates little-known female composers from the 19th century to the present. It is music composed by women, many of whom are all too often spoken of in connection with the men in their lives. Each Passion Program combines music and spoken word to take audiences on a journey that speaks to a specific social theme with music of different genres, interwoven with commentary on how they connect to our own lives.
James is an accomplished baritone, composer, and violinist based in New York City. He has been a musician since he was a child, and has shared his voice and carefully curated programs all over the US and Europe. James also teaches on spirituals and other African American music, and is honored to walk in his family tradition of telling truthful stories. He also preaches and leads church services, including at North Parish of North Andover and UU Haverhill.
The concert is FREE and sponsored by the North Andover African American History Committee and Andover Baptist Church.&nbsp;To reserve a seat, and for more information:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1986591006177?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1986591006177?aff=oddtdtcreator</a>

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
