Silk Painting – Thursday, October 17 at 5:30 p.m. in the Meeting Room
We aren’t going to learn how to paint or try complex techniques but observe how the paint lives and reacts on the fabric, directing it wherever our imagination wants the paint to go. During this master class, you will tap into your creativity and grow your unique Flower, a symbol of feminine beauty and divine blessing.

Night Sky Restoration: Thursday, October 24 at 6:00 PM in the Meeting Room – Presented by Tim Brothers, Observatory Manager at MIT’s Wallace Astrophysical Observatory (Westford, MA)
Our night sky is in crisis as the fastest growing environmental problem, light pollution, turns night into day. Tim will be speaking to us about a path forward in restoring darkness to our nighttime environment. He recently completed a case study of an LED streetlight retrofit in Pepperell, MA, where by following dark-sky lighting best practices, he measured what effect, if any, there was on the night sky. The results have significant implications for how we approach future lighting installations as the Westford area develops.
Tim Brothers is the Observatory Manager at MIT’s Wallace Astrophysical Observatory (Westford, MA) and a Technical Instructor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. He also co-founded the Massachusetts chapter of DarkSky International, where he is primarily focused on outdoor lighting policy in the region. Tim was recently awarded a minor planet designation, asteroid (28992) , for his work on asteroid detection. Register Here.
