On Saturday, March 7th, at 7:00 p.m. the Friends of the Marshfield Public Library will share stories, poems, and music about/by remarkable people when their annual Timeless Tales presents: People Who Make a Difference!
We will celebrate our nineteenth event in the Drendel Room of the Second Street Community Center.
People make a difference in science, industry, art, and nature. People affect us at a personal, mystical, or global level. The list of folks who fit the bill is endless. A few of the pieces to be read by community members are authored by or about Albert Einstein (science), Abraham Lincoln (Gettysburg Address), Ellen DeGeneres (parenting), Temple Grandin (autism, animal care), Aldo Leopold (environment), and Ruby Bridges (civil rights).
Dean Markwardt will again serve as our Master of Ceremonies. Musicial ensemble Joe Finamore, Wayne Jellish and Christy Anna round out our evening with rhythm and fun. Be sure to remain after the event to share in our ever-popular refreshments and desserts.
Now in its nineteenth year, this evening of readings and music is sure to give you pause as you reflect on those worldwide, national, and local figures throughout the ages who have made a mark on our existence. As you return to your day to day life, you may find yourself asking who has made a difference in your life as well as how will you make a difference to those around you.
Put March 7th on your calendar and consider joining us. We promise to leave you introspective, grateful, and challenged to “make a difference” on your own. Tickets are available beginning at 6:30 at the door for $8.00 for adults, and $5.00 for students.
(Please note: Timeless Tales is an adult program, not designed to hold the attention of elementary school children.)
