Consider signing. I trust the folks behind this and will help get it to Katherine Clark. Ruth From: Margot Welch <margotwelch77(a)comcast.net> Date: Tuesday, July 16, 2019 at 7:51 AM To: Alan Harwood <alan.harwood(a)umb.edu> Subject: Are you in Katherine Clark's district? I know I’ve tried not to get too ‘political’ in our neighborhood list but I am feeling as I am sure many of you are — so fractured, agonized, and sad about the ‘state of the nation’ that I want to do what I can to encourage us all to talk with each other — not just lament but discuss ways of responding, things we can do to somehow reconnect. You may not all want to sign this letter to Katherine Clark, our House Representative in DC, but if you do, urging her to do what the Constitution expects of us, to do what makes sense, what NOT TO DO would just be WRONG, would you please add send me your name and address so I can attach it to the master letter and return that confirmation to me NOW, while you’re thinking of it. Just hit return, with your address (i.e. 77 Avon Hill St., Cambridge 02140) and, ASAP, it will be done. Attached is the letter asking Rep Clark to Impeach Trump. The plan is to gather as many signatures as possible by July 31st. Then in August to figure out a way to get this to Clark in person. It is the August recess and Clark will likely have a couple of "town" meetings with constituents. So we will see. Can you please send this to as many Clark constituents as you can?! If you can ask people who want to sign the letter to send you their name (exactly as they want it listed), address, and zip code. Then if you can send me this information (including yours), I will enter each name, address and zip onto the letter. I think its easiest to do it this way so I can have one master copy of the letter. Feel free to send me the "signatures" you get as you get them if that is easiest for you. Thanks for your help and support on this! Lets keep in contact about this, and let me know if you and anyone you know would like to help deliver this in person to Clark.

Corrected Shakespeare's Hamlet- this coming weekend at Danehy, following two at Longfellow Park (off of Mt. Auburn)
by Ruth Ryals 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Enjoy! From: "Kelley, Craig" <ckelley(a)cambridgema.gov> Date: Monday, July 8, 2019 at 12:47 AM Subject: Corrected Shakespeare's Hamlet- this coming weekend at Danehy, following two at Longfellow Park (off of Mt. Auburn) Hey Everyone: You’d think that after 10 zillion dollars’ worth of higher education, I’d be able to read dates properly, but it turns out I am flawed in that regard so please excuse this correction. Hamlet will play again at Danehy Park this coming weekend, Thursday-Sunday, 11-14 July, at Danehy Park near the Sherman Street entrance. Hope and I saw it Friday night and it was fantastic. There are all sorts of lines I recognized, but I would have been wise to read a recap of the plot beforehand. Not to be a spoiler, but as you can see from the attached picture, someone dies in this play. Actually, a lot of people die in this play but I won’t tell you who. And it is also full of great advice such as “Be wary, then; best safety lies in fear.” Sounds like something my Dad told me once or twice….. We sat close to the marked off stage (ropes in the grass) on the left side as you look at the ‘stage.’ These were great seats- the show is not miked and not being too close to the playground or too far from the actors really made watching and hearing it easier, so you may want to get there early enough to sit in a similar location. We could literally see the sweat on the actors’ arms, it was that intimate a show. We brought the cute dog we are dog-sitting so we got extra attention from the actors, which was fun. Don’t forget the blanket and picnic fixings. >From 18-28 July, Hamlet will show at Longfellow Park, off of Mount Auburn Street. Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows are at 7 PM, Sunday shows are at 4 PM. The shows, sponsored by the Cambridge Arts Council, are free and open to the public. And, again, don’t forget the Tuesday evening concerts, also at Danehy and presented by Club Passim, from 6-8 PM until 6 August. Like Shakespeare, these events are a wonderful way to enjoy some of the best that Cambridge has to offer. Have a great week. Craig All emails to and from this City address should be considered to be subject to Massachusetts’s Public Records laws. To be removed from this list, click here. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think may be interested in it. Also, I have scheduled office hours in Central Square on Monday’s from 1-3 PM and Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 AM, but please email CKelley(a)Cambridgema.gov before coming to confirm before showing up.
