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!

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.
