• March 10, 2026: 11:30 a.m. Dr. Roger Hanlon on “The Amazing World of Cephalopods.”

Posted on by

Our featured speaker will be Dr. Roger Hanlon, a marine biologist, ethologist, and senior scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory, as well as a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Brown University.  He is known for his research on the behavior of cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish), particularly their camouflage abilities. 

The Club will meet at 11:30 am on Tuesday, March 10, at The Church of the Messiah Parish and Community Center, 16 Church Street in Woods Hole.  Light refreshments will be served, and attendees may bring a brown bag lunch if they wish.  Non-members are welcome to attend as space permits.

Special Note: At each meeting, we collect jewelry donations to sell at our two annual jewelry sales — the Woods Hole May Festival and the December Renaissance Fair. These sales raise funds for the club’s charitable donations to local non-profits. Coordinator Aminta Steinbach says: “Now is your chance to let go of any unworn or old jewelry (adult and teen!) Please bring any items you would like to donate.“

Please carpool if you can. Parking is available in the lot south of the Church in front of the cemetery and along the road, unless expressly prohibited. The limited number of spaces in the lot directly in front of the Parish Center should be used by those who benefit from having closer access to the building and for short-term parking to make deliveries.

The Woods Hole Woman’s Club brings members together to provide enrichment and mutual helpfulness for the betterment of Woods Hole and the surrounding communities. 

New members are welcomed at any time during the year. Membership information is available here and at WHWCmembership@gmail.com
