LYRID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is entering a stream of dusty debris from Comet
Thatcher, source of the annual Lyrid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the
shower to peak on April 22nd with as many as 20 meteors per hour, although
visibility will be reduced by bright moonlight. The best time to look, no
matter where you live, is Friday morning during the hours before local
dawn. Visit

for live meteor counts and more information.
BIG SUNSPOTS: This week the sun is dotted with several large spots, a

April 21, 2011 - Assabet Valley Mastersingers
Assabet Valley Mastersingers will focus on “A British Perspective” in the
concert scheduled for 8:00 PM on Saturday, May 7th at Evangelical
Congregational Church, West Main Street (Route 30) and Church Street,
Westborough. Poetry infuses all of the three widely different selections on
the program. Henry Purcell’s Come Ye Sons of Art is a celebratory
Birthday Ode for Queen Mary written in 1694. Lo, the Full, Final
Sacrifice (1946) is a more solemn voicing of love and death by Gerald
Finzi. Finally, Benjamin Britten’s delightful and exuberant Rejoice in
the Lamb (1943) proclaims the unique ways that each creature worships
God.
Artistic Director Robert Eaton will lead the ensemble, accompanied by
organist Brett Maguire. The four vocal soloists will be soprano Patrice
Tiedemann, mezzo Jacque Wilson, tenor Stanley Wilson, and baritone Steven
Small.
The location is accessible to the physically challenged. Assistive
listening systems, courtesy of Crossroads Community Foundation, are
available at all concerts for use by hearing impaired audience members.
Large print programs will be offered to those desiring enhanced readability.
Concert tickets may be purchased at Robinson Music Company,
Westborough; Shattuck Pharmacy, Northborough; Shrewsbury Federal Credit
Union, Shrewsbury; English Garden Florist, Southborough; Arts Alliance,
Hudson; and Joy-Den Jewelers and Main Street Café in Marlborough. Advance

2011 Annual Southborough Historical Society Member
Meeting
Non-Members are welcome to attend!
Sunday May 1st, 2-4PM at the Museum
25 Common Street, Southborough (behind
the Pilgrim Church)
Election of officers, reports from
committees and a short presentation "Southborough and
the Civil War". Light refreshments will be served.
Please join us!
We are also looking forward to
encouraging potential non-members to join the Historical
Society and help us continue our mission to preserve and
promote the history of Southborough and it's people. We
have a great group of people that work regularly at the
museum but more help is always needed to help maintain
our collection as well as to help with the displays,
plan events and many other assorted activities.
As part of this years meeting, we are
also appealing to those who can support our cause and to
consider a donation. Since we signed our 2nd 10 year
lease with the town in 2007, we have been responsible
for the total operating cost of the Museum. This
includes heat, electricity, water, phone, alarm
monitoring, insurance, snow removal, general repairs and
maintenance. These costs are significant for our
organization that generates it's revenue simply from
donations from our members and friends as well as from
the sales of our various merchandise and books we have
on sale in our Museum store. So we could really use
your help this year so please consider a donation and/or
volunteering to help our cause. Further information as
can be found at
www.southboroughhistory.org.

We
are pleased to welcome back Pete and Maura Kennedy, better known as The
Kennedys, on May 14, 2011 at 7:30 at the Southborough Coffeehouse in
Southborough, MA
Open to every moment, the much-traveled married duo of
Pete and Maura Kennedy have spun their personal experiences, musical
influences and philosophical beliefs into nine previous albums of
winsome original songs, frequently seasoned with exquisitely-performed
cover tunes, that blend acoustic-based folk, rock, country, pop and
secular gospel into an inclusively delightful sound that’s all their
own. The Kennedys use their full palette of vocal and instrumental
colors to bring their songs to glowing life. Maura’s lead vocals range
from comforting to yearning, from girlish to womanly, from exuberant to
delicate, sometimes bolstered by her own sweet harmonies and those of
Pete and several guests. As usual, multi-instrumentalist Pete provides a
vibrant tapestry of chiming, jangling and twanging guitars, as well as
mandolin, keyboards, bass and drums, interwoven with Maura’s sturdy
acoustic rhythm guitar, harmonica and glockenspiel. Additional
information can be found at their website:
http://www.kennedysmusic.com
Tickets, and more information, can be obtained at
www.steeplecoffeehouse.org.

 For
ten years, our the Tools for Schools program has helped shoppers like you
support the school of your choice just by shopping with your AdvantEdge
card. Many shoppers like you have
registered their AdvantEdge cards to support their
chosen school, but over time school closings, school consolidations and
other changes among participating schools have invalidated school
selections.
To ensure we credit the school of your choice accurately with the points you
will earn on its behalf when our program relaunches July 31, we require you
to
re-enroll in the program. You must re-enroll to
continue to earn credit for your chosen school in the upcoming academic
year.
You may
re-enroll your card to support your school for the
2011-2012 school year starting today, April 15th.
Enrolling is simple and takes just minutes. To
enroll now,
click here.
We want to thank all of you who have been so supportive of Tools for Schools
and encourage anyone who is new to the program to
join today by registering and choosing a school to
support. We look forward to the program's relaunch July 31.
If you have any questions or need assistance with your Tools for Schools
efforts please contact us toll-free at (800) 352-4658, Monday through
Friday, 8am to 5pm, EST.
Sincerely,
Tools for Schools

Museum Awarded
Prestigious Grant |

One of the banners to be conserved
thanks to the IMLS grant.
Masonic Scottish Rite Banner, ca.

Council, 33°, Ancient Accepted
Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic

Museum Awarded Grant from Institute of
Museum and Library Services
The Museum has been awarded an American
Heritage Preservation grant from the Federal
Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)
to support conservation and archival housing
for three fraternal banners in the permanent
collection. The Museum is one of only four
institutions in the state to receive an
award.
The IMLS grant is particularly important to
the Museum due to the nature of its Masonic
and fraternal collections. Many of the
objects in the Museum’s holdings are not
widely collected by other history museums,
and the staff often has to devise creative
solutions to store the objects and to
conserve them.
“This grant will allow us to extend our
careful and creative search for appropriate
storage solutions to our banner collection,”
said Aimee E. Newell, Ph.D., Director of
Collections. “Part of the funding will allow
us to fabricate custom storage boxes for two
of the banners. These custom archival boxes
will not only protect these fragile silk
items, but will incorporate a padded resting
board, allowing us to display the objects
with significantly less danger of damage.
The Museum serves as a model for many
Masonic museums and libraries here and
abroad. The IMLS grant is very important in
supporting our efforts to preserve parts of
American fraternal history that are in
danger of disappearing. We are extremely
grateful for the funding.”

April Vacation Week Events at the Library
If your kids are out of school next week, come
to the library for some fun! On Thursday, April
21 at 11:00 a.m., the Pumpernickel Puppets
present Peter Rabbit. Pumpernickel
Puppets always put on a great show! All are
welcome and no registration is required. Thanks
to the Friends of the Library and the Together
We Can Family Network for sponsoring this event.
New this year will be a Readers’ Theatre for
children age 9 and up. Join us for a script
reading of two Greek myths on Wednesday, April
20th, at 2:00 p.m. Space is limited, so please
sign up at the library or e-mail
nmagnoni@southboroughma.com.
April is National Poetry Month, so there is a
“Poetry Puzzle” game each week in the Children’s
Room. Follow the clues to collect all the lines
of a poem, then unscramble them to make the
poem. Also, a special workshop for teens will be
held on Thursday, April 21 at 3:00 PM on writing
Eco-Poetry. This will be led by Anna Catone, our
Poet-In-Residence. Sign up at the Library.
For information on any of these events, please
call the Library at
508.485.5031
Hope to see you during the
vacation week
