Greater Nashua ARES (Hillsborough County)

Welcome to Greater Nashua ARES Hillsborough County New Hampshire

Our next in person meeting is scheduled for Wednesday August 12 at 7:00 pm.

We hope you are having a great summer!

This month's meeting will be all about GO BOXES.

If you have a Go Box that works, bring it. If you have the parts to build a go box, bring that too. If you have an idea (or drawings), bring that! We can help you on your way to a fully functional Go Box.

See you there!!

Our in person meetings are at Darmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Nashua, NH. The building is located at 2300 Southwood Drive, right off of exit 8 of the Everett Turnpike
