SUMMARY:Winter Coat Drive
DESCRIPTION:Coat Boston\, a Lexington-based nonprofit program providing new winter coats and accessories to Boston families in need\, will hold its annual coat drive from September 15 through November 8\, 2026. \nWorking in partnership with Boston Public Schools and Boston social service organizations\, Coat Boston distributes new winter coats\, hats\, and mittens to children and adults in underserved communities. The program operates from space provided by Hancock Church in Lexington. \nLast year\, Coat Boston distributed 2\,700 new coats and winter accessories. This year\, the organization hopes to collect 3\,000 coats as families face increasing economic challenges and the need for winter clothing continues to grow. \nCoat Boston was established in 2009 by City Mission Society of Boston and moved to Lexington four years ago after City Mission permanently closed. The program has continued its mission with the support of volunteers\, donors and community partners. \nCommunity members can help by donating new coats and winter accessories through November 8. Donations may be dropped off at Coat Boston\, 1912 Massachusetts Avenue\, Lexington. Information about the coat drive\, additional ways to donate and Coat Boston’s work is available at coatboston.org

SUMMARY:Cary Lecture Series: The Bittersweet History of Chocolate: What Makes Chocolate Good? with Carla D. Martin
DESCRIPTION:Carla D. Martin – November 21\, 2026 8 p.m. \n \nSocial anthropologist Dr. Carla D. Martin will trace the bittersweet history of chocolate — from Mayan temples\, to the Transatlantic Slave Trade\, to the rise of iconic brands like Hershey’s and Nestlé\, to grueling labor on cocoa farms today. For centuries\, the interests of U.S. and European chocolate makers have often diverged from those of cocoa farmers and producers. As she examines the cocoa-chocolate industry\, Martin highlights the often-conflicting goals that create gaps in social and environmental responsibility. Many artisanal chocolate makers today market the social values underlying their production. When it comes to chocolate\, good taste is paramount\, but how do we measure its social goodness\, and what value does this add for consumers? \nCarla D. Martin is Lecturer and Assistant Director of Undergraduate Studies in Harvard University’s Department of African and African American Studies and Founder and Board President of the nonprofit Institute for Cacao and Chocolate Research. She has published in numerous academic journals\, most recently on the ethics of labor in cocoa and chocolate. Martin has received awards for excellence in teaching and research\, and her public scholarship has been featured by the National Park Service\, Harvard Museums\, and National Public Radio. Her work brings her into community with workers at cocoa farms and chocolate factories worldwide. A chocolate tasting will follow the talk. \nAN ANNUAL SERIES OF FREE LECTURES IN LEXINGTON 2026-2027\nHosted by the Cary Lecture Committee: Monica Galizzi\, Rita Goldberg\, Meryl Loonin\, Kevin Oye\nCo-sponsored by Cary Library \nVisit carylectureseries.org for more details about our speakers and to sign up to receive reminders about our upcoming lectures. \n

SUMMARY:Beacon Santa Telethon
DESCRIPTION:This December\, the students of WAVM — the student-run radio and television station at Maynard High School — will go on the air for the 48th Annual Beacon Santa Telethon\, a 40-hour live broadcast that raises money for local families in need during the holidays. We are writing in the hope that you will help us share this story with your audience. \nThe Telethon began in 1978 as a student-led radio marathon and has grown into one of the region’s longest-running holiday traditions. It is produced and hosted entirely by Maynard High School students\, who run the cameras\, staff the phones\, host the shows\, and manage the auction — around the clock. The broadcast airs on WAVM 91.7 FM\, on television Channels 8 and 28\, and streams online at wavm.org\, featuring live performances\, radio shows\, music\, competition segments\, and a live auction of donated items. \nEvery dollar raised goes to the Beacon Santa Fund\, which provides holiday assistance to families in Maynard and neighboring towns\, including Acton\, Bedford\, Billerica\, Boxborough\, Chelmsford\, Concord\, Lexington\, Lincoln\, Littleton\, and Westford. Last year\, the Telethon raised $45\,000\, and the Fund served more than 360 families and 830 children across those communities. Over its 48 years\, the Telethon has raised more than $1\,000\,000. \nWe would welcome your coverage in any form: a preview story\, a listing in your community calendar\, or a visit to our studio during the broadcast. Our students would be glad to be interviewed\, and we are happy to provide photos\, video\, and background information. \nThis year’s Telethon will air from Friday\, December 11 at 7 PM through Sunday\, December 13 at 11 AM. For more information\, visit telethon.wavm.org or contact Mike Basile\, Director of WAVM\, at (978) 897-5213. \nThank you for helping us spread the word about this community tradition. \n\nSincerely\,\nMike Basile\nDirector\, WAVM\nMaynard High School
