 Photo of beautiful azaleas from Arnold Arboretum trip on May 14, 2013. Please note that there will be two trips per year, sponsored by the Friends of Thayer Public Library.
Major Event: Field trip to Arnold Arboretum, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, exemplifies his trademark love of curved roadways, occasional prospects (open area of grass and hills, rather than always trees close to the road), and ponds as nature's mirror to reflect the beauty of the surroundings. The Arboretum is part of the Emerald Necklace Conservancy.

Major Event Sunday May 19, 2013.  Perry Rossi concert.
