Are you interested in local arts? Promoting Somerville? SOS needs your help!

We’re looking for people to take a 2-hour shift either at an infobooth promoting Open Studios or as a guide on one of the trolleys that take visitors around SOS. Both will take place during Open Studios, May 3+4 from 12-6pm; full information is on the signup sheets.
Plus, if you volunteer you’ll be invited to a volunteer-only party in mid-May—get in touch for more details!

The ducklings are coming, the ducklings are coming...May 11th

Yo DSLJ!

Just a post to announce an event I'm working on that will be of interest to the family types here. It's called Duckling Day and it's the most adorable Mother’s Day tradition around. Every year, over 1,000 children and their families parade through Boston Common and the Public Garden, dressed like characters from the children’s classic Make Way for Ducklings.

For 2014 we’ve added some great new activities for the kids (playtime with the Somerville-based Knucklebones crew, make-your-own Mother's Day cards, etc), and free mini-massages for moms – in honor of Mother’s Day. I have an almost-three year old myself and am really excited for him to enjoy the event!

It's a fundraiser for the non-profit Friends of the Public Garden, and you can find more details at http://www.friendsofthepublicgarden.org/events-activities

Thanks and I hope to see you there!

Ducky regards,

On Saturday, April 26th, Childish Gambino (the alter ego of actor/writer/comedian Donald Glover of Community) will headline Tufts' outdoor Spring Fling event. Tickets are limited to students, alumni and faculty/staff, but you can always hang out across the street and listen in.
