SUMMARY:Daniel O’Donnell Cary Memorial Hall
DESCRIPTION:Daniel O’Donnell’s remarkable career has moved on to a new level with his success as a TV presenter\, just another facet to his ever-expanding list of entertainment achievements.\nThe Donegal based singer\, who is one of the most prolific and successful recording artists in the UK charts\, is the only artist in the world to score a hit in the UK album charts every year since 1988\, an unprecedented and unbroken 35-year span\, and in doing so\, he has outshone everyone from Michael Jackson and Madonna\, to U2 and the Rolling Stones. \nDaniel’s latest “I Wish You Well’ released on 4 Nov ’22\, entered the official UK Album Charts at #16\, a great achievement in itself In a very competitive week\, especially when you take into account that the main chart is collated from CD\, Vinyl and Digital/Streaming sales\, but not only that\, in the CD-only Chart\, Daniel entered at #5\, ahead of Taylor Swift and The Beatles !! and entered the Independent Albums chart at #2. \nIncluding this latest release\, Daniel has now amassed 48 Top 75 albums\, including 42 Top 40 albums\, 30 Top 30 & 20 Top 10 albums\, with 18 of the latter being this century\, a feat that has not been achieved by any other recording artist\, and has now sold well in excess of 15 million worldwide. \nHe has sold more than 4.6 million albums & videos / DVDs in the UK alone since the start of this millennium\, and more than 6.6 million units since The Official Charts Company/Chart Information Network took over the running of the charts in 1994.\n‘Daniel O’Donnell 60’\, released in celebration of his 60th birthday in 2021\, shot straight into the chart at #4\, keeping good company with the likes of The Beatles\, Adele and Coldplay. As with the ‘Daniel’ album before it\, this recording was produced by legendary record producer Nigel Wright\, who co-produced the recordings of many of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musicals\, including the film versions of Evita and The Phantom of the Opera\, along with many artist albums and TV music shows.\nDaniel has also achieved eight number one hits in the UK music video/DVD charts over the length of his career\, makes regular appearances in the Billboard World Music Chart\, received an honorary MBE from Queen Elizabeth\, appeared on Top of the Pops\, had his life celebrated on This Is Your Life\, been given the Freedom of Donegal\, has been inducted into Ireland’s Music Hall of Fame\, and received multiple Entertainer of the Year/Person of the Year Awards in Ireland and the UK – to mention but a few of the many accolades. \nDaniel also burst into superstardom in the USA & Canada back in 2002 with his first ever PBS special – The Daniel O’Donnell Show. That began a special relationship between Daniel and PBS that has now lasted some 20 years. Since that first airing\, Daniel has had fifteen more specials\, with ‘Daniel O’Donnell & Special Guests’ being his record breaking sixteenth\, which was filmed at the Millennium Forum in Derry and which is currently still airing on many PBS channels throughout the USA. Daniel’s seventeenth special\, is in he planning stages and should be aired sometime in the spring of 2023.\nDaniel has always had very high viewership ratings in pledge drives across the USA for public service television\, and as a result of this and his many other activities in America\, his popularity there has grown substantially over the years.

SUMMARY:Acton 250 Committee presents: One for the Revolutionary Road: Taverns and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Northeastern University Professor Malcolm F. Purinton discusses the role of the tavern in local society as the colonies headed into the American Revolution. There were few places more important in colonial and revolutionary America than local community taverns that played witness to local\, regional\, and national events in American history. Decisions made in these cozy environments had important and far-reaching consequences ranging from protest planning to actions such as the Boston Tea Party. \nRecordings will be on our website and ActonTV https://actontv.org/on-demand/education shortly after the event.

SUMMARY:Into the Thaw
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, Minuteman National Historical Park and Walden Pond were named as among the top 11 endangered historic sites in America\, in part due to climate change. The alterations to our natural environment during the climate crisis have far-reaching consequences to the preservation of history as well as the natural landscape. \nMore than 40 years ago\, the park ranger Jon Waterman took his first journey to Alaska’s Noatak River. Astonished by the abundant wildlife\, the strange landscape\, and its otherworldly light\, he spent collective years of his life exploring Arctic North America on extended sea kayaking\, packrafting\, skiing\, dogsledding\, and backpacking journeys—often alone for weeks at a time. After three decades away from the Noatak\, he returned with his son\, and amid a now-flooded river bereft of the once-plentiful caribou\, he was shocked by the changes. The following year\, 2022\, he took one final journey to film and document the climate crisis across the North in his new book\, Into the Thaw (Patagonia Press) —the subject of his October 17 image-intensive presentation. A frequent National Geographic grantee and NEA Literary Fellow\, Waterman (Lexington High class of 1974) is the author of 17 books. \nThis presentation generously sponsored by Lester E. Savage Real Estate \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers

SUMMARY:1774 and All That: Reflections on a Long Year of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:On September 19\, 2024\, the Concord Museum will commence its highly anticipated fall forum series with a special discussion featuring Mary Beth Norton\, renowned historian and award winning author of the landmark text 1774: The Long Year of Revolution.

SUMMARY:Lowell Walks: Portuguese in Lowell
DESCRIPTION:Join researchers and archivists from the University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Portuguese American Digital Archive\, Nikki Tantum\, Gray Fitzsimons\, and Nicole Catarino on a walk around the Back Central neighborhood. In the late 1800s\, increasing demands for cotton cloth production provided jobs and opportunity for the first Portuguese immigrants arriving in Lowell. In the decades that followed more Portuguese immigrants moved to the city and wove their lives and cultures into the neighborhood of Back Central\, creating a new community that still exists today. \nThis walk will highlight these stories just as the photography exhibit “The Portuguese in Lowell: The Familiar and the New” does\, but through a different lens. This exhibit highlighting photographs captured by Pedro Letria is on display at the Boott Cotton Mills Museum through February 2025. \nJoin us for this upcoming Lowell Walks event\, a guided walking tour. Tours are about 90 minutes\, are free\, and include a moderate amount of walking. No reservations are necessary\, and tours are conducted rain or shine. \nFree parking is available where the tour meets: Portuguese American Civic League of Lowell\, 512 Central Street.
