Calendar of Events

To wrap up our month-long celebration of the immigrant experience, we turn to the document that is uniquely American – our U.S. Constitution.   What is it, how was it written, who wrote it, and why is some of it so hard to understand? Associate Professor of History Hamish Lutris will give us the inside story on how our country was “conceived in liberty”. Lutris is the professor we all wanted – deeply dedicated, with an attention to the small details that bring history to life. Following the lecture, the Milford Concert Band will perform some patriotic music -  a truly fitting end to a month-long celebration of our city’s great diversity and our strength. Free copies of the Constitution while they last!

 Genealogist Greg Thompson talks about Researching in Early Cape Cod.

All are welcome to this free event. 

Join Donna Rapino from Diva Fiore for a demonstration of a floral arrangement made from seasonal flowers out of the garden on May 1 at 6:30pm at Milford Library, 57 New Haven Ave.    While she is working, she’ll also be discussing the right flowers to plant to get the best arrangements without leaving your own yard!    Annuals and perennials will be discussed, and Rapino will bring examples of flowers great for gardens and arrangements. The finished bouquet will be given to one lucky participate to take home!

                Rapino has been a floral designer for many years.   Her background includes art education at the University of the Art Philadelphia, and she has also pursued a life-long interest in gardening.   She studied floral design in London with Paula Pryke, a world renowned floral designer.

                All are welcome to this free event.
