Volunteers

Yesterday afternoon I reviewed the nominations for those suggested for recognition as the Medfield Foundation volunteer of the year.  It was a truly awe inspiring couple of hours reading about the wonderful work that people are doing to make Medfield a better place on such a wide and diverse range of fronts, and I was filled with enthusiasm by their deeds.  We are all beneficiaries of these volunteers’ efforts, either directly, or by their making Medfield generally a better place, and we owe a debt to the stalwart nominators who took time to alert and educate us via the nominations.

I encourage everyone to attend the volunteer recognition event that will take place from 4- 6 PM on Sunday, March 18 at The Center.  The recognition reception is free, open to the public, and last year was an absolutely magical time as the nominators and their nominees recounted in vignette after first person vignette what they had been doing.

You can read about the incredible things that those previously suggested for recognition have done at http://www.medfieldfoundation.org/volunteer.html

The Medfield Foundation is proud that the Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation has sponsored the Medfield Foundation volunteer of the year event this year.  Whole Foods Market will again cater the refreshments.

Medfield Youth Action Committee (MYAC)

The Medfield Youth Action Committee (MYAC) held its first large public meeting yesterday with community leaders they invited to join them.  The half dozen Medfield High School students announced that they intend to

  1. do fun events, such as dinners and/or dances to promote the community
  2. promote community volunteering opportunities for students
  3. prepare a manual that will explain how to do an event

MYAC members said their first event will be a community wide dinner dance they hope to hold on March 23 at the Dale Street School.  They hope to have the MHS Jazz Band and/or jazz combos perform.

New theatre group in town – play 1/27-29

This is the announcement from Woodland Theatre of its first play at its new home at the Medfield High School –

“There was a cabaret.  There was a Master of Ceremonies.  There was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany … and it was the end of the world.”  Woodland Theatre Company proudly presents the smash hit musical, Cabaret!  Winner of 12 Tony Awards and 8 Academy Awards, Cabaret brings to life the dark, sexually-charged decadence of 1930’s Berlin, beckoning the audience into the Kit Kat Klub on the eve of Hitler’s rise to power in Germany.  Defiant and melancholy, brazen and gleeful, Cabaret sizzles and provokes with classics such as Wilkommen, Money, Mein Herr, and of course, Cabaret.  Join the Master of Ceremonies as he beckons you to “leave your troubles outside”, and experience the steamy, seedy world of Cabaret.  Playing January 27th through the 29th at the beautiful Lowell Mason Auditorium on the campus of Medfield High School.  Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at: www.WoodlandTheatre.com.  Don’t miss out on this season’s hottest new show from the region’s hottest professional theatre company dedicated to Bringing Broadway Home!
