G2G Walkabout Legacy Exhibit
A once in a lifetime show & tell to honor a family member, friend, neighbor or colleague.
Call To Action - We are asking folks to send in a personal legacy honoring or paying tribute to an older person. This person touched your life in a very personal, positive and meaningful way. We want you to define what that legacy is. Maybe it's an old photo, a love letter, ticket stub, newspaper article or a piece of personal memorabilia. You or your elder may enjoy personally sharing this legacy and it’s story one on one with others at our oral history tables or perhaps request an opportunity to talk about your legacy with a larger group. For more details or to submit a legacy exhibit call Ron Bourque at 978-946-1476 or e-mail walkabout@esmv.org. Legacy submission deadline is October 1. All submissions will be returned.
