Rebuilding Together Worcester Rebuilding Weekend
Start: 12:00 pm
End: 4:00 pm

Join us for the 7th-annual Rebuilding Weekend, sponsored by Rebuilding Together, an entirely volunteer-based home-renovation organization. Over the weekend, we will clean-up and renovate approximately 10 homes in Worcester. Come on Friday afternoon, Saturday, or Sunday afternoon. We can use anyone who would like to help, though we have special needs for people with home-renovation skills (carpentry, plumbing, electrical, wall-papering, carpeting, etc.). We also welcome financial support. For more information, check out our website: www.rebuildingtogetherworcester.org.

The Story of the Traveling Scarf: A Short Film by Nora Werme
Start: 7:00 pm

At SAORI Worcester: 131 Highland St.

Local Filmmaker Nora Werme created this 20-minute film to express her joy in weaving in the improvisation SAORI style, and to show the reactions of her family to the 26-foot she wove, as it got included in family reunion photo shoots, wrapped around babies and newlyweds, and eyed by skeptical "what's-it-good-for" male relatives. The film introduces SAORI teacher Mihoko Wakabayashi, who explains the four core principles of SAORI weaving, and a 9-year-old boy weaving prodigy with a mysterious smile. Light refreshments and friendly conversation!
