SUMMARY:Beauty on the Wing | Life Story of the Monarch Butterfly
DESCRIPTION:Date Mar 3\, 2026 10:30am \nLocation Acton Town Hall Room 204 \nSpeaker Kim Smith\, Documentary Filmmaker \nTopic Beauty on the Wing | Life Story of the Monarch Butterfly \nDescription Experience the inspirational story of a magnificent species found in our own backyards!  Kim will present her award-winning movie filmed along the shores of Cape Ann and in the heart of Mexico’s forested volcanic mountains. Every stage of the butterfly’s life cycle is experienced in vibrant close-up\, from egg to caterpillar to adult and set to the background of sea and forest\, sun and wind. Movie runtime is 56 minutes followed by Q&A. \nKim Smith is a documentary filmmaker\, wildlife conservationist\, lecturer\, photojournalist\, author\, illustrator\, and an award-winning landscape designer. \nKim’s first film in the threatened species film trilogy\, Beauty on the Wing: Life Story of the Monarch Butterfly\, is a narrated documentary that premiered in August 2020. Since its premier\, Beauty on the Wing has received a number of honors and awards at environmental and children’s film festivals. \nThe Piping Plovers of Moonlight Bay\, the second film in the trilogy\, is a feature-length documentary that premiered in September 2024. At the time of this writing\, the documentary has been accepted at twenty-two film festivals and received numerous awards. \nOne of the greatest hopes for our nature documentaries is that they are inspirational and educational to both adults and children and we are delighted that the films are finding their audiences. \nKim was recently interviewed by the BBC and PBS for her work in documenting the Monarch Butterflies. She worked with the show’s producers in writing and creating the story\, providing film footage from her film Beauty on the Wing: Life Story of the Monarch Butterfly for the BBC produced show “Autumnwatch: New England.” \nActon Town Hall\, Room 204 (no Zoom)\nSocial Time 9:00 am\nBusiness Meeting 9:30 am\nProgram 10:30 am\nLight Refreshments • Bring your own beverage\nHostess: Sunni Raney\nCommittee: Allison Bakow • Amy Leffler • Mary Martyak • Stephanie Reid

SUMMARY:Horticulture Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Flowers and Seeds\nProgram Leader: Helen Webster\nLocation: Home of Helen Webster\nRefreshments: Janet Irons \n  \nLarge Horticulture Projects Undertaken by The Club for the Town\nOver the years\, the Club has undertaken several large horticulture  projects. In 1938 the Club worked with the Town to improve the landscaping at the new High School (now apartments in the old\nMcCarthy Towne School). In the early 60s the Club was asked to revitalize Meeting House Hill with a garden plan and plantings. This was a twofold project involving a wildflower garden and the\nbeautification of the hill facing Main Street with trees and daffodils. In 1984 for the Club’s 50th anniversary\, the Oval Garden was designed and installed in front of Town Hall. For our 90th anniversary last year\, the Oval Garden was revitalized with a new design\, a fountain and new plantings. Every year planters in West Acton\, Acton Center and the fire/police station are filled with seasonal flowers to beautify the Town.
