Join us for the Screening of the Work of 1,000 with Marion Stoddart

On Wednesday, March 30 beginning at 6:45pm we will be showing the 30 minute documentary The Work of 1,000 directed by Sue Edwards and featuring Marion Stoddart and her work to save the Nashua River in NH.  Following the screening, we are very excited to have both Marion Stoddart and Sue Edwards for a discussion.

This is the third of five parts of our Green Faith Series on Environmental Stewardship at Grace Church (160 High St).  A community dinner is served at 6pm.  All are welcome!

Check out http://gracemedford.org/greenfaith for a complete listing of the events and further details.


Here is some more information about the movie and Marion:
Marion Stoddart, a young mother of three, lived next to one of the nation's most polluted rivers. At a low point in her own life, she took on its clean-up as a personal cause-for herself, for the community, and for future generations. She had no special skills or training, but what she did have was a vision for what was possible. And, an unwavering resolve to save the dying river. Marion's historic success in cleaning up the Nashua River-recognized by the United Nations, National Geographic, and chronicled in books and now a movie-is an inspirational lesson about the impact one person can have in the world.



The screening is free, though we will be taking a free will offering to help defray the costs.

Come watch a 30-minute film about her, and meet Marion Stoddart as we discover together how we might turn our vision of change into a reality.

All are welcome!

Jon
