Sullivan s Travels: A look back at 2020 in Natick
Goodbye and good riddance.
Between a coronavirus pandemic that stretched wwwaaayyy too long, and an election season that got wwwaaayyyy too intense, it’s small wonder we’re not in a dark corner, peeking over the parapets from time to time and waiting for all this to just go away.
And yet, there were good moments, mainly from those who managed to adapt to the new demands imposed by the pandemic.
Take Family Promise Metrowest, for example. In the spring, they usually hold a walk featuring most of the participating congregations; the walk was dropped, and an online fundraiser took its place. That fundraiser raised nearly $250,000.

Sullivan s Travels: Join Sound & Spirit for a virtual holiday concert
Wicked Local
Like everyone else stuck in the pandemic vortex, Sound & Spirit had to find a way to perform without the benefit of a live audience.
The group will present its first virtual concert, called “Thankful.”
Guaranteed to delight its audience just as it does the 84 choir members who bravely jumped into the virtual realm, this true multigenerational performance choir ranges in age from 8 to 80-plus. The concert spotlights songs of every genre and era, from Regney’s majestic “Do You Hear What I Hear” to Delanoy’s stunning setting of the folk “Shalom Chaverim,” and then straight onto classic Broadway with “It’s a Hard Knock Life.”
