#42 Respect by Anne Greenbaum

July 16, 2020 by

Winning Bid: $75.00

For over 40 years I worked in human services in urban settings, primarily Boston.   My work with young people and the organizations serving them was creative, rewarding, and exhausting often at the same time.  At age 11 I lived in Bogota, Colombia for 3 months, an experience that has shaped me in ways I continue to discover. Since then, I’ve been lucky to travel to amazing places across the globe and had incredible experiences:  learning to make strudel at the Owl’s Nest Restaurant in Budapest, Hungary; trying to go hot air ballooning in the Serengeti in Africa; joining in a Bat Mitzvah celebration on Mount Masada in Israel.

The past two decades have included Truro. The coronavirus pandemic showed me how much my home in Truro means to me. I’ve realized that for the last 20 years Truro has been my refuge.  It is a place of beauty, peace, and sanity no matter what the season or what else was going on in the world.  But in the current political and medical climate it is clear that no place, including Truro, is an island. We are all connected by our humanity, our intentions and our values. For Truro (or any place else) to continue to be a place of refuge for young families, older retirees like me and anyone who is drawn to this unique place, we need to act  intentionally. To treat each other and ourselves gently, to take a breath before we react, and to try to assume best rather than worst intentions.  The words on my plate were inspired by watching people, including myself, struggle with our new reality and figure out how to both stay safe and be human.

HISTORIC TRURO: Landmarks and Legends Self-Guided Tours

A joint project of the Truro Historical Commission and the Truro Historical Society, this guidebook was created to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower in Cape Cod Bay in 1620 and is an update of the 1984 guide that celebrated the 275th anniversary of the founding of Truro.

This program was supported in part by a grant from the Truro Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Funding for printing was also provided by the Truro Chamber of Commerce, Truro Part-Time Resident Taxpayers’ Association, and Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod.
