Knowing that many Lumberton residents had already taken to trails, paths, lawns, and driveways for socialization and solace during the days of isolation, Jane Weston, Director of Development and Community Relations, suggested that we all use our meadow as a focal point for raising a toast to the Arboretum, the Medford community, and each other at 6 p.m. Our annual Evening in the Arboretum, scheduled for April 25, was canceled in compliance with our stay-at-home policy, and many of us were feeling disappointed to miss it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-621aca6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"621aca6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Instructions were to gather on decks if we lived inside of Woodside Drive or on lawns facing the Meadow if we lived outside it. Jane\u2019s suggestion offered a feasible substitute with social distancing, weather permitting.<\/p><p>And it did.\u00a0 Several clusters organized a smaller check-in before moving to the Meadow. As the clock ticked down, more and more people appeared on paths, decks, and lawns. Barbara Lassen, with more than one kazoo, marched up the culvert from Lower Meadow to Upper Meadow, drawing hearty applause from the spectators. Some residents followed her and waved to left and right, while others maneuvered to take candid shots of the event. Beverages of all sorts were raised.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2628cc4 elementor-hidden-phone e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2628cc4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef0cdc0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ef0cdc0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a412abe elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a412abe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4339.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODc1NCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2ZveGdsb3Zlc3lzdGVtcy5jb21cL1Byb3RvdHlwZXNcL21scmFcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjBcLzA1XC9JTUdfNDMzOS5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4339.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-8754\" alt=\"Kazoo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4339.jpg 480w, https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_4339-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b76b1ea e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b76b1ea\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03a4550 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"03a4550\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0927-s.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODc5MSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2ZveGdsb3Zlc3lzdGVtcy5jb21cL1Byb3RvdHlwZXNcL21scmFcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjBcLzA1XC9JTUdfMDkyNy1zLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0927-s-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-8791\" alt=\"Arboretum Evening 2020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0927-s-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0927-s-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/foxglovesystems.com\/Prototypes\/mlra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0927-s.jpg 1007w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ca9f68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ca9f68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Jim Tappen, Lumberton Council President, donned his tuxedo and marched along the inside path of the Upper Meadow, where Barbara overtook and serenaded him.
