The submitted funds represented the proceeds FOLA audience members donated during the annual Silent Movie Festival, attended by more than 45 people, on Saturday, August 26 in the Heald Auditorium in Ludlow's Town Hall. To demonstrate the extent of the donations at this event, Jeff Rapsis, the featured pianist providing background music to the Charlie Chaplin comedy, "Gold Rush", donated his fee. Almond noted that this was truly a community effort. "It just showed us that the folks attending the movie had more on their mind's than just watching this great comedian", he observed. "It's heart-warming to realize how much people will donate when the situation calls for generosity. It just makes you feel very proud." FOLA donated all of those receipts to the Ludlow Area Rotary Charitable Fund to be used to assist local individuals and businesses repair or replace property that was damaged by severe storms. Similar donations may be sent to: Ludlow Area Rotary Charitable Fund (LARCF) PO Box 216 Ludlow, VT 05149 | | | | | Feel like doing a good deed? Got muscle? Can you give up 30 minutes to help? Do you think helping old folks is the right thing to do? (hint hint...the answer is yes!) We are in need of 1 or 2 volunteers (you'll get rewarded with dessert!) to help put the library furniture back in place and take 4 tables down to the community room closet after MHCA's Cabaret, Sunday evening September 3rd around 9:30pm. Just a quick job that may even take less than 30 minutes. We just need a little bit of muscle.
Please email Madeleine at faymadeleine@gmail.com if you can lend a hand....ok 2 hands and 2 feet. You will be rewarded with lots of thanks and dessert!
Thank you and we wish you good karma vibes in advance! Love, your MHCA Board of Directors | | | | | August 30, 2023
For Immediate Release
ANNUAL PHINEAS GAGE WALK AND TALK
Many know the story of Phineas Gage, the railroad foreman, who on September 13, 1848, had a tamping rod pass through his head as a result of a blasting accident, and lived for 12 more years. Each year on the Sunday closest to the anniversary of the accident, the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) hosts a Gage Walk & Talk.
This year's Walk & Talk takes place on Sunday, Sept. 10 at the CHS Museum, Route 131 in Cavendish, VT. The program begins at 2 pm. The walk includes the location of the accident, Dr. Harlow's home/surgery, and the boarding house where Gage was taken after his injury. The talk includes details of the accident, how it impacted Gage's life, as well as ushered in the field of neuroscience, and why Dr. Harlow's training, as well as other aspects of the era, helped to save his life. The Museum now has a 3 D replica of Gage's skull as well as an item from Harlow's practice.
The site of the accident is approximately three quarters of a mile from the Museum and by the time other sites of interest are visited and we return to the museum, you will have walked close to 2 miles. Participants can stop at any time. It's recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 802-226-7807 or margocaulfield@icloud.com
