Looking for a podcast to listen to? Have you heard of the Kitchen Sisters?

Looking for a podcast to listen to? This might be one to fit: 

"For more than 40 years, radio and podcast producers, Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva, best known as The Kitchen Sisters on public radio, have chronicled the lives, rituals, triumphs and tribulations of people from all walks of life, weaving together a rich tapestry of America’s cultural heritage. Now the Library of Congress is acquiring their full body of work, including more than 7,000 hours of audio, photos, handwritten journals, podcasts and storybooks.

Known for their pioneering approach to storytelling, Nelson and Silva’s award-winning public radio programs amplify the voices of people rarely covered in the news media and have helped raise awareness about myriad social causes. Their work is featured on NPR, PRX, the BBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, as well as at international festivals, and in live and multimedia performances.

“The Kitchen Sisters have enlightened audiences for decades, unearthing unique stories about people and cultural traditions across the globe. You learn about the impact of internment on Japanese American cooking, stories about the mythic Route 66, and the ways minority and immigrant communities shape the American soundscape. The Library of Congress is thrilled to receive this outstanding body of work,” said Elizabeth Peterson, director of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress."

FHS girls swim team tops Attleboro on Sunday

Via HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the FHS winter sports action on Sunday: 

Boys Swimming = Franklin, 79 @ Attleboro, 86 – Final 
– Franklin had more first place finishes but Attleboro’s depth helped earn key points for a win over the Panthers. Matt Marcil was a double-winner in individual races while also adding a relay win to help Attleboro get the win. Marcil took first in both the 100 back (qualifying for sectionals) and anchored a sweep in the 100 fee (followed by Matt Brewster and Andrew Collins). Marcil was joined by Collins, Brewster, and Zach Dorrance to win the 200 free relay. Alex Harrop added a first place finish in the 100 fly.

Girls Swimming = Franklin, 95 @ Attleboro, 64 – Final 
– Attleboro freshman Zuri Ferguson broke a 30-year old program record, setting a new time of 5:16.44 in the 500 free, breaking the record by 2.28 seconds but the Bombardiers fell to a deep Franklin team. Ferguson also won the 50 free, qualifying for sectional in both events. Ella Lynch-Bartek took second in the 50 free and third in the 100 free, Caroline Lynch-Bartek placed third in the 50 free, and Sydney Dorval was third in the 100 fly. Ferguson, Lynch-Bartek, Lynch-Bartek, and Dorval teamed up to take second in both the 200 medley and 200 free relays. Abbi Rodriques and Natalia Kotnisz also won key points for the Bombardiers.

Register O'Donnell's "Suits for Success" Program Makes a Donation to the Needham Community Council

Recently, the Norfolk Registry of Deeds, as part of its "Suits for Success" program, donated boxes and racks of clothing and shoes to the Needham Community Council.

The "Suits for Success" program, developed by Register William O'Donnell, in partnership with several local charities, collects donations of suitable clothing to be distributed to groups like the Needham Community Council and to individuals who may need appropriate attire for employment interviews.

The Needham Community Council is a non-profit group with 15 staff members and over 300 volunteers that for more than ninety years has provided a variety of services to members of the community who may need assistance with various health, educational and social needs. The Council accepts donations of clothing to be sold at its popular thrift shop. Programs funded by the thrift shop include a food pantry, an English language learning program, a medical equipment lending program, and a transportation program. It also partners with "Karma of Clothing" to provide eligible women with clothing from its thrift shop and consultations with trained personal clothing stylists.

"We greatly appreciate Register O'Donnell's efforts to assist us in supporting our programs and helping us to provide much needed services to our neighbors in need", stated Judy Lambert, Needham Community Council's program director.

Register O'Donnell remarked, "We're happy to assist the Community Council. I thank all those who donated to our "Suits for Success" program and I hope other local residents and businesses will consider making a clothing donation. The program is truly needed, and it's a great resource for the community."
