7:00 PM Guest Speaker: Hailee Attorri - “A Woman in the Ranks: Deborah Sampson's Revolution and Revelation”
Program: Long before women were allowed to serve openly in the military, one determined Massachusetts woman disguised herself as a man and marched into history. Her bold, risky, and astonishing story comes to life through in "A Woman in the Ranks: Deborah Sampson’s Revolution and Revelation".
Hailee Attorri, appearing in period costume, will share the remarkable true account of Deborah Sampson, who disguised herself as a man to fight for American independence and ultimately became one of the nation’s earliest recognized female veterans. Attorri’s vivid storytelling promises an evening that blends history, drama, and the daring spirit of the Revolution.
BIO: Hailee Attorri is a New Hampshire based educator specializing in local history, gravestone studies, and historic reenactments. She is a high school social studies teacher in North Central Massachusetts and a National Geographic Certified Educator. She has a bachelor's of art in history and secondary education and a Masters in the Art of Teaching History. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time visiting museums and being with her husband and two sons

The Craftworkers’ Guild Spring&nbsp;Shop Celebrating 100 Years of&nbsp;Craftsmanship, Community and Creativity
The Craftworkers’ Guild is proud to continue the celebration of our 100th anniversary year with the Spring Shop. The shop will be open 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Thursdays to Sundays from April 30th through May 24th. Our shop is located at the historic Kendall House, 3A Meetinghouse Road in Bedford, behind the Bedford Library.
Now in our centennial year, the Guild continues to honor a century-long commitment to excellence in fine craftsmanship. This year’s Spring Shop features the work of over 40 local Guild member artisans and craftspeople, showcasing a rich variety of handmade goods — from timeless New England traditions to fresh, modern designs.
“Reaching this 100-year milestone fills us with gratitude for the generations of crafters who shaped our Guild, and it inspires is to share a collection that honors that legacy while embracing new creative directions,” says Carol Davis, President of the Craftworkers’ Guild. “Each shop brings its own burst of imagination, and this year’s shop carries a special weight as we celebrate a century of handcrafted artistry.”
Shoppers will find a curated selection of locally made, juried crafts, with something for everyone — from Mother’s Day gifts to graduation and wedding presents — including seasonal décor, photography, fine art and prints, cards, woodworking, textiles, pottery, fiber arts, sewn and knitted items, soap and body care, gourmet goodies, candles, jewelry, glass, and more. Many items are one-of-a-kind, perfect for gifts or treating yourself.
Proceeds help support the Guild’s ongoing arts education initiatives in the community, continuing our mission to inspire creativity for the next generation of artists and makers.
Stay connected and get a sneak peek at featured items by visiting <a href="https://www.thecraftworkersguild.org," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">thecraftworkersguild.org,</a> or follow us on Instagram (@craftworkersguild), Twitter/X (@craftworker), and Facebook.

Remember what happened to people who didn't learn computers?
We’re in that moment with AI. Right now. Most people tried it once, got something weird, and walked away. That doesn't mean AI doesn't work. It means nobody showed them how to use it well.
Join us for a free Introduction to Artificial Intelligence at C1M Academy in Amherst. Ninety minutes. No jargon. No sci-fi. Just a clear look at what AI actually does and how regular people are using it every day.
Small class. Real questions welcome. The ones you think are "too basic" are the best ones.
Free. In person. Limited spots.
