A look at whats on tap for this week in Amherst.

Selectmen to meet. The Amherst Board of Selectmen are scheduled to meet on Monday, Dec. 9 in the Souhegan High School media center, Room 202, at 6:30 p.m. Among agenda items is a review of the 2014-15 proposed budget. Get the full agenda on the town website.

Gingerbread houses construction. 
Come to the Children's Room for a holiday gingerbread-house construction party! Families are invited to pool their creativity and make a graham-cracker gingerbread house for the holidays. The library will provide the space, the graham crackers, the frosting and the music, you bring a bag of candy to contribute to a pot-luck supply, and help build some beautiful houses! Space is limited, so registration is required. All ages are welcome with a parent who will help to make the gingerbread house. Register in person or online.

Delayed opening.
According to the school calendar posted on the SAU 39 websites, Tuesday, Dec. 10 is a late start day for all schools. Plan accordingly.

Business after hours. Celebrate the holidays with Chamber Members, friends and guests of St. Mary’s Bank. St. Mary's welcomes you to share good wishes for the new year to come and a "cup of cheer" for the year gone by. Refreshments and raffles while networking and meeting that connection that will make 2014 start off strong for your business. RSVP to the Chamber at 9603) 673-4360
