SUMMARY:“Driven By Abstraction” - Monday Art Collective Closes Summer Exhibition at the Old Schwamb Mill
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, August 22\, from 2:00–3:30 PM\, visitors are invited to enjoy one last opportunity to experience this vibrant exhibition of contemporary art in the Mill’s historic second-floor galleries. Showcasing painting\, drawing\, printmaking\, collage\, and mixed media\, Driven by Abstraction highlights the creativity and diverse artistic voices of the Monday Art Collective\, a group of Boston-area artists brought together through a shared commitment to experimentation\, collaboration\, and mutual support. \nThe Monday Art Collective is a group of dedicated visual artists\, primarily based in the Boston area\, who have met weekly for the past four years to create art\, exchange ideas\, and support one another’s artistic growth. Originally brought together through workshops led by Cambridge artist Alexandra Sheldon\, the group continued meeting virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic after studio classes could no longer be held in person. What began as a way to combat artistic isolation soon evolved into a lasting creative community. \nOver time\, the Collective’s artistic practices have expanded beyond the collage work that initially connected many of its members. Today\, the group explores a wide range of media\, including painting\, drawing\, printmaking\, and mixed media. The exhibition at the Old Schwamb Mill reflects this diversity of approach while highlighting the shared spirit of experimentation\, collaboration\, and encouragement that defines the Collective. \nVisitors to the exhibition will encounter a thoughtful and varied collection of contemporary works created by eight women artists whose practices continue to evolve through dialogue\, friendship\, and mutual inspiration.

SUMMARY:Livestrong's 343-Mile First Responder Ride for Resilience\, Honoring Fallen 9/11 Firefighters\, to Pass Through Lexington
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of the 25th anniversary of September 11\, Livestrong\, a nonprofit  dedicated to improving the daily lives of cancer survivors\, is hosting a landmark First Responder Ride for Resilience\, a five-day\, 343-mile cycling journey from Boston to the 9/11 Memorial in New York City honoring the 343 firefighters lost on September 11\, 2001. Riders will move through Lexington on Sunday\, September 6. Local residents are invited to cheer on riders\, volunteer at a water stop\, or donate to show their support.  \nAccording to research from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health\, firefighters are nine percent more likely to be diagnosed with cancer and 14 percent more likely to die from it than the general public. The ride brings together first responders\, cancer survivors\, and community members to raise funds benefiting Friends of Firefighters\, the Boston Fire Cancer Foundation\, and Livestrong\, expanding access to cancer survivorship and mental health programs for first responders and their families.  \n“This ride wouldn’t be possible without the communities that welcome it along the way\,” said Suzanne Stone\, President and CEO of Livestrong. “Every stop gives people an opportunity to honor the firefighters and first responders affected by September 11 while supporting organizations that continue to serve them. We hope people will see this as a chance to come together around something that matters: honoring the heroes we lost\, and standing with those still fighting today.”  \n“Friends of Firefighters was born out of 9/11 with the promise that firefighters would never have to face the weight of the job alone\,” said Nancy Carbone\, Executive Director of Friends of Firefighters. “In the last 25 years\, we have lost nearly 800 members of the FDNY to September 11th and 9/11 cancer\, and job-related cancer remains one of the greatest risks our firefighters face every single day. Whether you ride\, volunteer\, or donate\, you’re providing hands-on support for the physical and mental toll cancer takes on our first responders.” \nTo register\, volunteer\, donate or view the local route through Lexington\, visit 911ride.org. \nExpected timing for riders passing through:  \n\n\n\nCommunity \nDate \nApproximate timing\n\n\nLexington\, MA (Rest stop mi 12.1) \nSunday\, September 6 \n7:45 a.m. to 10:25 a.m.\n\n\n\nTimings are projections based on the current rest stop schedule and route mileage. Riders depart in waves\, which is why each window is wide.  \nWater and rest stops in your coverage area:  \n\n Lexington Visitors Center\, 1625 Massachusetts Ave.\, Lexington\, MA 02421. Sunday\, September 6\, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.. \n\nThis is the strongest visual for photographers: riders\, apparatus\, and local firefighters in one place\, with a steady flow of cyclists arriving over several hours.  \nSpokespeople available for interviews:  \n\n Suzanne Stone\, President and CEO\, Livestrong \n Nancy Carbone\, Executive Director\, Friends of Firefighters \n\nLocal riders: 17 riders in this year’s field live within about 25 miles of your coverage area\, and the closest is roughly 8 miles from the route.

SUMMARY:Alan Dawson: Leading Lexingtonian
DESCRIPTION:Lexington has heroes in every century\, as change-seekers have made their mark on the town. Through building community\, working for social change\, pioneering in their fields\, and pursuing creative passions\, Leading Lexingtonians keep Lexington on the map as a historic place. This lecture series highlights their accomplishments\, which are also displayed on a rotating basis in the Lexington Depot Museum. \nAlan Dawson was an extraordinary jazz drummer\, percussionist\, and teacher who inspired countless students to pursue professional music and instruction.

His drumming was featured on albums with artists such as Quincy Jones\, Clifford Brown\, Dexter Gordon\, and Dave Brubeck. He formed his own band\, the Alan Dawson Quartet\, and had a posthumous album\, Waltzin’ with Flo\, released in 2000. Most importantly\, his teaching methods are still being used today by his students who continue to lift up the next generation of jazz musicians.  \nJoin us as we welcome family\, former students\, and music enthusiasts to honor Dawson’s legacy in Lexington. Enjoy live music from Chris Neville\, Ron Mahdi\, and John Ramsay\, followed by an interactive celebration of Dawson’s career led by Dawson’s daughter Deborah Mullins and student Mike Powers.

SUMMARY:From Suffragette to War Worker: Stories of Women War Workers at Raytheon 1941-45
DESCRIPTION:This talk spans the 100-year fight for women’s rights\, beginning with the Suffragette movement and the passing of the 19th Amendment in 1920.  It moves on to the great stock market crash on Black Monday in 1929\, and the New Deal as a response to the Great Depression under President Franklin D. Roosevelt\, before focusing on America’s entry into World War II in 1941.  Suddenly\, war plants all over America needed female workers. Here in Massachusetts\, Raytheon aggressively advertised for women workers with recruitment posters\, newspapers\, and radio ads. Soon\, thousands of women were performing all types of electronic component production and assembly work\, from radar to radio tubes. At the insistence of Eleanor Roosevelt\, the ranks of the military and other professions\, including Civil Defense\, Red Cross\, etc. became open to women.  At war’s end on September 2\, 1945\, tens of thousands of women were immediately laid off.  Many women\, however\, found newly earned access to jobs once held by men. Women workers had now become the new consumer demographic. \nPresented by Chet Michalak\, Principal Technical Support Engineer\, Archivist and Historian\, Raytheon Company\, US Army veteran. \nSocial Hour 12:45-1:15 pm\, Program at 1:15 pm \nTo participate by Zoom\, get Zoom link at LexVets Website lexmavets.com.
