SUMMARY:Savoyard Light Opera Company presents "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying"
DESCRIPTION:The Savoyard Light Opera Company is proud to present How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying\, the musical and comedic satire of corporate culture and the ruthless pursuit of success. Can the Voice of a Book tell you all you need to know about getting to the top of the executive ladder? A young window washer hopes so\, in this rags-to-riches story\, set in 1961. Memorable characters\, a funny story line\, and satisfying classic Broadway numbers will keep you wildly entertained\, while you contemplate all that has changed – and not changed – about power dynamics and ambition.

SUMMARY:Friends of Pine Hawk: Boxborough Esker Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Boxborough Esker Walk in memory of George Krusen is sponsored by both the Boxborough Conservation Trust (BCTrust) and the Friends of Pinehawk.  The landscape of Boxborough was sculpted over millions of years\, but some of the most dramatic features formed “only” about 15\,000 years ago. The Beaver Brook Valley Preserve protects a beautiful example of an esker – a long\, sinuous ridge of sediment that was formed under the edge of an enormous glacier at the end of the last ice age. Tufts geologist Anne Gardulski will guide the walk along the crest of the Boxborough Esker and explain how it formed\, looking at the evidence in the sediments. Rita Grossman\, BCTrust’s president\, will also note how the efforts of George Krusen were key in protecting this significant geological feature from being fully excavated for gravel to build I-495. \nGeorge also deeply appreciated the Native American imprints on the land in our region. Brian McClain from Friends of Pine Hawk will point out possible Indigenous stone structures including those as described in the book Manitou\, which will be discussed at the Pinehawk event taking place on November 13th. \nNote: Participation in this walk requires registration at https://tinyurl.com/2025-Pinehawk. This trail walk involves climbing steep terrain. Details\, including preparation\, will be emailed to registrants a few days in advance.  For ages 13 and up and is limited to 40 participants.

SUMMARY:Talk: Can Bicycling Be a Normal Mode of Travel in Concord? Here's How.
DESCRIPTION:The Concord Library has been working with Bike-to-School Concord\, Mothers Out Front\, and others to encourage folks to choose walking or biking whenever they can. It’s good for the planet and for our kids. However\, we know that some people don’t feel safe biking or walking in certain areas of Concord. \n\nMothers Out Front has invited Dr. Peter Furth\, Professor of Civil Engineering at Northeastern University and an expert on pedestrian and cycling safety\, to speak about possible solutions to these issues. He gave up a Saturday afternoon to bike around Concord and look at trouble spots with a group of us ahead of his talk. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo register\, or for more information\, see Safe Cycling in Concord.
