FCCC February Chamber Breakfast
Our next breakfast will feature local talent with some amazing stories! Some of you may know Marina Goldman as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner who lives in Montague, but did you know that she is also an actor, writer, film producer and social activist? This program will feature Marina and her work as the narration voice of Martha Sharp in the recent PBS television special; Defying the Nazis: the Sharps' War. The film was produced by Ken Burns and Martha's husband, Waitstill, was narrated by Tom Hanks. Their efforts saved hundreds of refugee children from Europe just prior to WWII. Years later, Waitstill Sharp lived in Greenfield for several years and often spoke at All Souls Unitarian Church.
Marina is now involved in humanitarian aid missions to Sierra Leone in West Africa and was honored by being given the first Joukowski Family Foundation Award in 2015. Her work was described as providing support and rescue to people often in highly dangerous situations.
Our spotlight presentation will feature Musica Franklin, an independent non-profit intensive after-school program for children age 6-13 . It is based on the belief that the pursuit of musical excellence teaches students to strive for excellence in all areas of their lives. It is directed by Vicki Citron and meets three times a week at Oak Courts and Leyden Woods in Greenfield. The program is free to students and supported by Massachusetts Cultural Council and by public and personal contributions.
