Events for May 26, 2026

Breathtaking moments of awe have inspired poets for thousands of years to share their amazement of the natural world and humankind around them. In this presentation, Val Walker will spark our sense of wonder through the creative spirit of poets Mary Oliver, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Wendell Berry, and Maya Angelou. Their awe and enchantment live forever in their poetry—and it’s contagious when read out loud! Come join our gathering to celebrate the wonder of words and poetry, and to be awestruck by beautiful writing. Val Walker, MS, is a rehabilitation consultant and blogger for Psychology Today and Health Story Collaborative.

Join us for Melodies for Medicine, a special event featuring talented young musicians (ages 10–16) who will bring the joy of live music to our Senior Center! Enjoy performances by a range of instruments including vocalists along with meaningful conversations and a shared love of music—all in a warm, relaxed setting. Come be inspired, moved, and reminded of the joy that music brings. You won’t want to miss it! Registration required. Please call the Senior Center at 978-929-6652. Open to all/free
