The volunteers were invited to attend an afternoon tea and entertainment in Montague.

We were treated to a delightful performance by Lisa Hurd, who performed a one-woman play which deals with the problems of aging and loss of independence.  The play is called "Dance Like A Butterfly" by Aviva Ravel.

“I am passionate about the one-woman play I perform because it is a powerful tool which touches the hearts of all those who see it and, I hope, helps them to understand with compassion the feelings of elderly people and people who have lost at least some of their independence due to physical or other challenges.” 

"In all my many years of acting, I have never done anything which has given me back so much and I hope to be able to continue performing it to many more audiences for many years to come."
