Non-Profit Highlight
Golden Tones Chorus
Mission: Golden Tones chorus practices and provides enriching entertainment for senior facilities, schools, and public events. Members, of retirement age, sing and dance to lift spirits and promote health and social engagement for everyone involved.
Method: The chorus performs close to 50 concerts a year, many to disadvantaged audiences and also at community events and schools. This year we will walk and perform in Boston’s Walk for Music on April 30. We will also collaborate with Natick High School’s Advanced Choir for a free intergenerational concert on May 5 in Natick’s Common Street Spiritual Center at 6:30 p.m. as part of Boston’s Art Week Festival.
You can help continue this outreach: support our Walk for Music team with a tax-deductible gift at goldentones.org and come to hear the Golden Tones sing on May 5!

News from this past week
* Wayland Planning Board OKs Oxbow Meadows field. With a key municipal approval in hand, recreation officials hope construction of a controversial field at Oxbow Meadows can start in September. The field, to be located by the intersection of Oxbow and Trout Brook roads, would likely open in fall 2018, after grass has had sufficient time to grow, Recreation Commission Chairman Asa Foster said Friday.
* Wayland ZBA backs fewer CVS parking spaces. The Zoning Board of Appeals on Tuesday overruled the building commissioner, saying CVS can provide fewer parking spaces at its planned Cochituate store.
* Swimming: Wayland boys earn national title. Capping off its first undefeated season, a Dual Country League championship meet title and a Division 2 state championship, the Wayland boys swim team was named National Dual Meet Champion.

Have you seen this cat? His name is Jasper, Russian Blue, 7 years old. He has been missing since Friday July 17. Be on the lookout for Jasper and help get him back home and safe.
Become a tutor of English. Have you ever thought about tutoring someone in English? Most people who decide to become tutors are thinking of the good it can do, helping others become more proficient in English and better able to cope with employment, landlords, schools or the medical profession. But then they discover the rewards, the satisfaction that comes as progress is made and a relationship develops that enriches both learner and tutor. Tutors often speak of their pleasure in learning about another culture and their greater appreciation for the challenges facing those who are adapting to ours.
Because of the constant demand for tutoring, all available tutors are now working with students, and the next tutor-training course has been scheduled. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) program director Ginny Steel is currently enrolling prospective tutors for the five-session course that starts on September 19. The class will meet at the Wayland Library on five Tuesday evenings 6-9pm. Class dates this fall are Sept. 19 and 26, October 10, 17 and 24. No prior knowledge of a foreign language is needed, just an openness to other cultures and the desire to share your knowledge of English. The training is free, although it is necessary to purchase a textbook for about $20. For more information or to enroll in the tutor-training course, you can phone Ginny Steel at 508-358-7517 or email her at virginia@thesteels.com.

Summer programs from Sudbury Valley Trustees and Stearns Farm CSA. Sudbury Valley Trustees (SVT) is partnering with Stearns Farm CSA in Framingham for a series of programs featuring the bounty of the summer garden. The relationship between Stearns Farm and SVT goes all the way back to 1959, when Margaret Welch of Framingham donated 87 acres to SVT, then a relatively new regional land trust, for protection. The gift included the agricultural field where her close friend Penelope Turton grew organic vegetables and flowers. This land now grows seasonal fresh vegetables for the farm sharers of Stearns Farm CSA. “SVT is thrilled that this conservation land, part of the Baiting Brook-Welch Reservation, is still farmed and continues the tradition of locally grown food in Framingham,” says Christa Collins, Director of Land Protection for SVT. The public is invited to register for the following offerings scheduled throughout the summer.
* On August 19, Melanie Hardy will lead “Cut Flower Basics” and share her favorite varieties for cut flowers, as well as harvesting techniques. Design and bring home a farm-style bouquet from the Stearns Farm cutting garden.
* On Saturday, September 23, Katy Riley of Tree House Farms in Millis offers “Tie Dying with Vegetables.” Transform white fabric into wearable pieces of art using natural vegetable dyes.
