Do you want to learn more about where your groceries come from? Then come learn about Community Supported Agriculture from Farmer Sam Chronister!

Additionally, a lucky few will go home with passes to Longwood Gardens. Co-sponsored by Living Hope Farm in Harleysville.

Let’s talk movies! The Movie Talkers is a film discussion club that will cover a wide variety of genres and time periods. It’s like a book club, but for movies!

April 2, 2025: Singin’ in the Rain (1952) dir. Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly

Synopsis:

When the transition is being made from silent films to `talkies’, everyone has trouble adapting. Don and Lina have been cast repeatedly as a romantic couple, but when their latest film is remade into a musical, only Don has the voice for the new singing part. After a lot of practice with a diction coach, Lina still sounds terrible, and Kathy, a bright young aspiring actress, is hired to record over her voice.

Copies of the DVD are available at circulation. Singin’ in the Rain is also available for streaming on Max. If you have any questions, need help accessing the movie, or want a Zoom link for the meeting, please email modete@mclinc.org
