Food & Film at TCS presents: "WATERMARKS"
Saturday, October 13th at 6pm / at TCS/NT
Admission is $15 for dinner & the film
This powerful documentary tells the story of a group of women swimmers from the legendary Austrian Jewish sports club, Hakoah Vienna.
The women's swim team dominated national competitions throughout the 1930s until the club was forced to close in 1938. Released in 2004, this film brought seven of the surviving team members back to their old pool in Vienna. The women, then in their eighties, talk about their childhoods in Vienna, their years of
 competitive swimming, and their lives after leaving Austria. Film critic, Wesley Morris wrote, "The images of them swimming together after all those years are beautiful and a little holy: They look like angels in the water."
Marianne Selinger
, one of the Hakoah swimmers and Camphill Ghent resident, was supposed to join us for a Q&A session but, unfortunately, is unable to attend. However, you can listen to Marianne's oral history interview on the USHMM website to learn more about her remarkable life.

Kids Need Music Benefit Concert
Sunday, November 11th, 1pm
at Spencertown Academy
Tickets $25
Internationally acclaimed guitarist, Maria Zemantauski, will perform a program of classics and stunning originals. Embracing the classical and flamenco repertoire for her foundation, she takes her audience on a musical journey inspired by her flair for experimentation and pure love of the instrument. Join us for an evening of passion, fire and grace.

As one reviewer wrote, "Zemantauski has continually pushed the boundaries of the possible with her trusty 6-string, blending genres that have little or no business appearing on the same bill, much less in the same song. It's rarely less than electrifying to watch her do it."

A Bold Peace

Old Chatham Quaker Meetinghouse
Old Chatham Quaker Meeting will screen "A Bold Peace" Saturday, October 13, 2018, Potluck at 6:00 PM, film at 7:00 PM, in the Old Chatham Quaker Meetinghouse, 539 County Route 13, Old Chatham, NY, across from Pitt Hall Road and Powell House.
The film chronicles how Costa Ricans have created a society committed to peace, solidarity, and international law since 1948, when they dismantled their military and intentionally cultivated security relationships with other nations. Over the decades, the Costa Rican model has survived several serious crises, but the current threats may be the most formidable of all. A moderated discussion will follow. www.oldchathamquaker.org
