The holiday honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has taken on a new significance, given the recent events in our nation’s capital.
Natick will mark Jan. 18 with its 16th annual celebration to honor King’s life and legacy. There will be a live pre-recorded program from 10-11 a.m., streamed online and via Natick Pegasus. The program will feature student performances and reflections; MLK Day Creative Contest winners from the middle and high schools; interfaith clergy representatives; and special guests.
The keynote speaker will be the Rev. Dr. Gregory Groover, pastor of the Historic Charles Street AME Church in Roxbury.
Sullivan s Travels: Relay for Life scheduled for May 15
One day, we will gather in groups and laugh and cry and be together.
One day…
Well, how about May 15?
That’s when the Relay for Life of Natick, Framingham, Sherborn, Ashland and Holliston will (hopefully) convene at Natick High’s Memorial Field.
Last year’s physical Relay was canceled because of the pandemic; most of the fundraising went virtual.
Should the Relay proceed as planned, there will be a day of games, activities and fun, all to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
This will be the first Relay without organizer Edna Glass, who passed last fall. In her honor, one of the teams has been named “The Unbeatable Edna Glass Team.”
