FAN Pride Window Painting

FAN - Family Action Network of Winchester, MA is hosting our Second Annual PRIDE Window painting for June. This year we have even more amazing businesses hosting windows and space to spread more joy. Thanks so much to all of our participants. Registration is now open to the public and we would love if you, your elementary, middle and high schoolers would help us by signing up to participate. All information is in the event here. https://fanwinchester.wildapricot.org/event-5287064 We will email out window assignments as we get more registrants. We ask all painters to complete their work by May 31st (plenty of time before and after the long weekend) to get Winchester ready for a beautiful June! We anticipate that windows will stay up through mid-June this year. If you have any questions, please reach out to communityconnections@fanwinchester.org

Music of World War II with John Clark

Join Mr. Clark for a Presentation on The Political and Romantic Songs of World War II. He will highlight some of the most popular music of the war years (1939-1945). You’ll see and hear songs tied to specific events and situations presented by this war, like My Sister and I and The Last Time I Saw Paris and songs of great heroism like Comin’ in on a Wing and a Prayer and Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunitions. Songs that expressed the feelings of soldiers and their spouses and families whose relationships were disrupted by this global conflict: Lili Marlene, As Time Goes By, Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree and sentimental love songs like I’ll Be Seeing You and I’ll Be Home for Christmas as well as songs of longing for this war to end: (There’ll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover and When the Lights Go On Again All Over the World. And yes, even humorous songs like G.I. Jive and Der Fuerher’s Face. Sponsored by the John and Mary Murphy Foundation.
