Cormier Woods continued from page one ees to inspire more Massachusetts residents of all ages to get out and experience our wonderful outdoor places across the state, so they can be active and make important community connections." Whether you are looking for great spots to go sledding, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, hiking, or just launch a spontaneous snowball fight, you'll find a Trustees spot near you for getting out and embracing winter. And if you're looking to shed some holiday calories, too, cross-country skiing can burn from 600 - 1,200 calories an hour - and snowshoeing burns more calories than running or skiing. Of course sledding, walking and hiking are all excellent options for fitness and outdoor enjoyment as well. Check out these properties on The Trustees' website for
more information, including fun programs and events for all ages at w w w. t h e t r u s t e e s . o r g / t h i n g s - t o do/<http://www.thetrustees.org/thingsto-do/ .

d’ouerves buffet provided by the Blackstone Valley Tech Culinary Shop. Doors open at 7 PM, and the two hour concert begins at 7:30 PM. Seating will be at tables of 10, and there will be dancing. For this special performance, the orchestra will be performing an entire evening of arrangements of music from the Swing Era, including Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Stan Kenton and much more. The evening will also feature Tom Gatturna, a well known vocalist who appears weekly at the Caffe Sorrento in Milford, with his extraordinary renditions of songs and ballads from the Frank Sinatra repertoire. All musical arrangements are being created by Berklee School of Music Professor, Jerry Seeco, a legendary jazz musician and arranger who resides in Milford, and has frequently collaborated with Claflin Hill. “This concert concept is one that has been floating around in my head for almost a decade now,” said Paul Surapine, Claflin Hill’s Founder and Artistic Director. “We’ve been listening to Tom sing Sinatra at the Sorrento for over 5 years, and when you close your eyes, you swear you’re listening to a recording of Frank from 1963. Tom’s phrasing and nuances are “spoton” renditions of the Chairman of the Board in his prime! We’re going to recreate the style and class of that period, when Sinatra frequently worked with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. That, paired with music from the Swing Era, including Stan Kenton – who had a deep connection with Milford – will make for a historic evening of music here at Claflin Hill.” Claflin Hill is partnering with Blackstone Valley Technical High School’s Culinary Shop, under Chef Matt Williams, who will be preparing and serving an array of appetizers and light entrees. The evening will also include a silent auction, and all proceeds benefit the Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra and their extensive full year season of world class musical performances in Milford and Central Massachusetts. Tickets are $50 each, and can be ordered online through the Claflin Hill website, www.claflinhill.org. For more information visit the website or call Claflin Hill at 508-478-5924. The Portuguese Club in Milford is located at 119 Prospect Heights, (off Water Street) in Milford, 01757 and is handicapped accessible.

Through passionate performances presented by masterful musicians, the CHSO plays a leading role in the cultural enrichment and vitality of Central Massachusetts and MetroWest communities.
