Ladies & Gentlemen:
Re: Let's Hear Your Story (LHYS)
My name is Tony Lombardo. I have been afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for over forty-one years and wheelchair bound for twenty-one years. To say the least, it certainly has not been an easy road.
Along the way, I have met numerous individuals who taught me the true meaning of the word COURAGE. As a means of "paying it forward," I established Let's Hear Your Story (LHYS). Our mantra is “How We Conquer Life's Obstacles.” We collect and post personal survival stories on the LHYS site as the written word, videos, or by other available mediums. Anonymous stories are welcome.
Please visit our Facebook prototype site at:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/439109260104105.
LHYS exhibits “social value” by focusing upon how we learn survival skills from each other.
I am developing LHYS into an online showcase which focuses upon the Inner Strength contained within the Human Spirit. We will post a vast selection of exceptional work created by exceptional individuals.
We welcome individuals who are interested in exhibiting their work on the LHYS site.
Please feel free to contact me at
[email protected]. Your input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Tony Lombardo
Want a lift to your spirits, going into the New Year? On December 31st, at 2 pm sharp, Belfast Parks and Recreation will be providing an hour of free entertainment, provided by local singers and musicians. This will happen on the lower part of the Common, next to Front Street. Front Street will be closed from Commercial Street to Miller Street, so you can just stroll by, stand, or bring your own seating and listen to songs of compassion, promise, hope and joy. This program lasts under one hour and is free. Come, Turn the Page on 2020 and welcome in 2021 with our fine volunteers.
THIS IS A COMPLETELY, SERIOUSLY COVID 19-COMPLIANT PRODUCTION. SINGERS ARE TO BE 14 FEET APART, NON-SINGERS 6 FEET. MASKS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES. MASKS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON-SITE AT NO CHARGE.
Come join us, sing, watch, dance (solo!) and Turn the Page on 2020.
With so much entertainment shut down due to COVID-19, come enjoy a LIVE SHOW on Belfast Common! With safety precautions fully observed, come enjoy a presentation of Classics on the Common's THE CANTERBURY TALES, sponsored by Belfast Dept of Parks & Rec. Seating will be limited, so tickets are best purchased in advance at Left Bank Books in Belfast.

The Free Press has the lowdown on what it means to switch to a Pass/Fail option for the spring semester. Before you email the Registrar to make the shift, make sure you've chatted with professors, academic and faculty advisors, and coaches to understand how it may affect you!
