MARCHing Forward

Ready for my *CLOSE~UP* !! 
MiLfordTV’s Studio was a perfect place to “Kick-Start”
                Brain Injury Awareness Month. 
                                    




Usually, I'm on the other-side of this Studio {unless I'm in Yoga-clothes}.
            This shoot, I was was everywhere!!

  

The month of March is Brain-Injury Awareness Month.
Over at the BIA-MA, we see this month as especially important!

LiONS in *Wonderland*

“If I had a World of my own, everything would be nonsense!” 

Alice surely gives us many “quotable” moments throughout her journey in Wonderland. How very fitting, then, that we Mendon Lions hosted the 2020 MidWinter Conference, under the direction of our Governor, *Flower~Lady* Colleen Oncay!! 

Not only were the decorations *MAGiCAL*, but the way the entire Weekend was facilitated ~ WoW!! One of the special parts of it was the attention to mindfulness&meditation with marvelous MarshashanaYoGa ~

~{Just 1-month shy of her 101st Birthday,

I appreciate so many aspects of being a LiON, namely the variety! Not just within our Membership,
 but also our causes. 


We were fortunate enough to be joined by Boston Renegades Beep Baseball players Rob & Teigan!!
This was “wicked -awesome” for me, since I had already stepped-up to the plate at the 2014 AbilitiesExpo in Town, so we were able to bond over that experience. 

~~> “What is HEROISM” <~~

Especially in today's day&age, it seems that we are always in need of and seeking-out HEROES.
Now, I'm not talking about the ones we see in the *BiG~SCREEN~FiLMS* ... Our Youth-Speech Contestants certainly understood the weight behind this year's prompt.

Far too often, we are bombarded with stories of the
"Younger-Generation" disrespecting law-enforcement officers and/or members of our military. Goodness-Gracious did these teens prove those stories wrong!! 




We listened to well articulated points-of-view from four students within our District. Honestly, I thought each one of them earned "1st-Place"!! 

"Lions don't have to roar. There is power in silence, confidence, and persistence. Those who work don't talk, and those who talk don't work... Focus your time, energy, and activity on mastering and executing a plan!"

*~ }SPoOoKY{ + FUN HaLLoWeeN ~*

I am NOT a fan of scary, grotesque things. So, when I learned that I would be the Reporter on-scene for
Milford Youth Center's Haunted House Halloween Party,I was hesitant, but also excited!

Now, the *only* part of this piece I was not "in-charge" of was the videography. 
Every thing else, from the "sound-check" to the camera-angles, was *MiNE* !!

< ~~~~~~    I am quite PROUD to present < ~~~~~~

~^~FLoatin' on the Ocean~^~

New England -born author extraordinaire, Henry David Thoreau, once remarked: “The sea-shore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world.” 

The *HiGHLiGHT* of our Summer: Falmouth Road Race

... came&went just like the waves of that beautiful ocean! 

>*GiRL~PoWeR*< this year!!! All 10 of our
Runners were Strong, Determined DOLLS!! 

  

Running for all those who cannot. With full hearts, steady legs, and that beautiful coastline guiding them to the finish-line!!

Putting the *HOPE* in ~Hopedale~

It is always special to see Community coming 

together towards a common goal. What’s even more poignant is to be an active PART of that Unity! 

On Saturday, June 15th, I was able to bare 

witness to and actively enjoy a beautiful day, 

surrounded by new&old friends alike at the 

Hopedale Country CLub! The reason for this 

festivity? The 2nd Annual PAR-3 for my Sister’s “fund” to run the FaLmouth Road Race as a member of Team BIA-MA was brought to another level. Actually, it was double the excitement, since not only did it involve my family, but 

we had the Ferrelli Family alongside us! 

Speaking of having folks support you, we were completely blown-away by the generosity of local businesses and their willingness to contribute to our raffle-table!!

Truly making it a *DYNAMiC~Day* for me, was that I was able to utilize the equipment, along with my training from Milford TV , to create my 1st News-Package!!
