4 13th Annual Challenger Day Mayor Gary Christenson and the City of Malden will once again be rolling out the red carpet for the special athletes competing in the Medford Invitational Tournament’s 13th Annual Challenger Day. The games will take place on Sunday, August 4, 2019 at 1PM on Bruce Field, adjacent to the Irish American Club, 177 West Street, Malden. The Medford Invitational Challenger Day offers children with disabilities the opportunity to take the field and play baseball. The game has all the fanfare of a major league all-star game where state and local government officials, the Malden Police and Fire Department Color Guards, Wally the Green Monster, Blades the Bruins Bear, and hundreds of fans come together to cheer on these young athletes. This year the program has grown and more than 75 participants from Medford, Malden, Wakefield, Lynn, Billerica and other surrounding cities will be taking part. Particularly exciting this year is that Todd Angilly of the Boston Bruins will kick of the festivities by singing the National Anthem. Event sponsors include Pizzeria Regina, Teamsters Local 25, Wegmans, Kelly’s Roast Beef, and Xerox. “I’m honored that our City continues to host this great event,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “I commend Ron Giovino and all the volunteers for their commitment and hard work in making this game possible. The athletes are truly an inspiration to us all!” For more information about the event or how to help support the program, please contact Ron Giovino at 617-365-0524 or rgiov21@comcast.net. 8/4/2019 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM	5 Local History Malden Public Library 8/5/2019 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM	6 Lecture; Harriet Hanson Robinson Mill Girl to Malden Please join us at 6:30 p.m. for a lecture on the life of Malden resident Harriet Hanson Robinson presented by Allison Horrocks of the Lowell National Historic Park. The program is free and will be held at the Malden Public Library, 36 Salem Street. Over the next year, many communities will celebrate the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment, which extended the right to vote to women in the United States. This talk will explore the life story of Harriet Hanson Robinson, a suffragist and activist who once lived in Malden. While in Lowell, Harriet Robinson contributed to The Lowell Offering, an operatives' magazine. Yet it was during her years in Malden that Robinson became more connected to a wider world of abolitionists, woman's rights advocates, and intellectuals. At 23 Harriet married William Stevens Robinson, a journalist and anti-slavery activist, and moved to Malden. Robinson was the first woman to speak before the Select Committee on Woman Suffrage in Congress. She and her daughter, Harriet Lucy Shattuck, organized the National Women's Suffrage Association of Massachusetts. This talk will put Robinson's life in historical context, providing insight into the broader social movements that surrounded her and the particular challenges she faced as a woman who reinvented herself several times. Allison Horrocks, Ph.D. is a public historian who works as a Park Ranger at Lowell National Historical Park in Lowell, MA. Since answering a local newspaper advertisement seeking volunteer guides more than a decade ago, Allison has worked as an interpreter in a range of historical sites and house museums. Her primary areas of interest are women's history, education, and public service. In addition to her work with the National Park Service, Allison has been involved with a range of local historical projects, including lecturing at teachers' workshops and creating a women's history trail. This lecture is part of Converse 2020, brought to you with federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.

We will be showing a recent animated family film about a Yeti who meets a Smallfoot. The movie features the voices of Channing Tatum, Zendaya, and Common. “A bright young Yeti finds something he thought didn’t exist: a human. News of this throws the simple yeti community into an uproar over what else might be out there in the big world beyond their snowy village, in an all-new story about friendship, courage, and the joy of discovery.” The Chicago Sun-Times writes, “The movie is a zippy, silly, zany, cheery, little tale.” CinemaScore gives the film an A- grade. Join us on the front lawn for this fun, family-friendly, and crowd-pleasing movie. Free popcorn will be provided. Thank you to our generous sponsor Eastern Bank. This film is free and open to the public. Movie times are approximate. Please call the Malden Public Library at 781-324-0218 for more information.
