Framingham High Choral Concert Tonight and Why is That Man Up In The Air?

1. Tonight is Framingham High's Winter Choral Concert in the high school's auditorium. Several Framingham High choral groups will be performing beginning at 7. Public is invited. Tickets available at the door.

2. Tomorrow night, Dec. 12 Dr. Helen Heineman will perform a dramatic reading of A Christmas Carol, at the main Framingham Library at 7.

This library tradition, has Heineman illustrating her reading with 250 slides that depict nearly every illustrated version of the story since it first appeared in 1843. She uses a special reading version of the story that Dickens prepared during his reading tours of England and the United States. The public is invited to this free program.

3. Tuesday night, Framingham Baseball held its 10th Annual Toys For Tots party in conjunction with the Framingham Fire Department and Timothy's Toy Box to help MetroWest area children in need, have a brighter Christmas. Attached to this report is a photo of some of the attendees with some of the toys collected.

4. Before the sun rises today, WAAF personalities Anthony “Spaz” Parziale and Lyndon Byers will “rise up” on a lift, where they will live on a platform suspended high in the sky for three full days in an effort to raise funds for The Greater Boston, Worcester County and New Hampshire Food Banks. 

Spaz will be lifted six stories high on a life located above The British Beer Company in Framingham at 6 a.m. today, where he will stay suspended on a small platform until 7 pm on Friday, December 13. Byers will do the same in Boston. 

WAAF listeners are encouraged to visit Spaz and LB during the three days they are up in the sky and make a donation to the cause. To donate via phone, call the “Rise Up” hotline at (617) 787-3481 or to donate $10 via text, text “WAAF” to the “Rise Up” text line: 20222.

5. In Case You Missed It: Walden Behavioral Care filed a second plan with the Town of Framingham under the state's Dover Amendment law. 

This plan calls for the waltham company to turn the former Marist property into a non-profit, educational center, under the Dover Amendment law. If approved as an educational use, it would qualify for the Dover amendment and no zoning approvals would be necessary and the town would receive no taxes.
