*The process of electing a president in the United States involves the 
major political parties (Democrat, Republican)*

involves popular voting to elect representatives (delegates) who will 
vote for their choice for party nominee during national convention 
meetings this summer. The Massachusetts Primary election will be held 
this coming Tuesday. *

    The first African-American woman to run for President of the United
    States was Shirley Chisholm in 1972.

Saturday 7:30PM, at the Coonamessett Inn Falmouth
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/magic-on-the-cape-live-at-the-coonamessett-inn-tickets-94079818269

Get ready for an evening of incredible magic that you've never seen before!

Bob Riordan and Shawn Mullins are professional magicians from Cape Cod, 
Massachusetts. Each has built an astounding reputation performing their 
brand of magic all over the world. Join them, as they take their talents 
to Falmouth’s Coonamessett Inn.

Here is your chance to see TWO great close-up magicians performing 
inches away from your seat. This is a rare opportunity that cannot be 
missed.

Bob Riordan, a graduate of the famed Chavez College of Magic, fully 
embodies the term ‘entertainer.’ With an abundance of lively audience 
participation, Bob reaches out so everyone feels personally involved, 
creating an atmosphere of intrigue and excitement. Bob clearly has a 
global appeal with a client list that includes the King of Sweden, 
InBev, the Prime Minister of Ireland, and Harvard University. He has 
currently performed in 27 countries!

Shawn Mullins, a highly respected magician in the Boston area, loves to 
share his quick wit and fun brand of magic with audiences along the east 
coast. Specializing in small-audience entertainment, Shawn crafts a 
beautiful experience of sleight-of-hand, humor and wonder. He currently 
helps new magicians learn magic and has consulted for magicians 
appearing on both Ellen and America’s Got Talent.

*/OUR MBL ENGLISH//LANGUAGE////TUTORING// PROGRAM/, *
*available for the MBL International Community (READ AT BOTTOM FOR WHOI 
NOTE)*

For many years we have had an informal language tutoring program to 
assist members of our international community
who asked for assistance using the English languagein your work and in 
your day - to - day life.

This conversational program has always been informal, we have based it 
upon training held at MBL and WHOI over the years,
and our own experiences living in countries outside of the US.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has ranged from assisting people who think they would like extra 
experience speaking English either professionally or in everyday 
conversation, or both areas.
What the program is not...is a structured grammar program. There's 
another program in in Falmouth which is more structured around grammar.

Sometimes we have even assisted more fluent speakers of English who wish 
to increase their speaking opportunities within the context of their 
lives, sometimes as informally as having lunch together, or taking a 
walk around Eel Pond.

We pair up volunteers from the MBL community for one hour a week with 
people seekinglanguageassistance, when people let us know they are 
interested in having alanguagetutor.

We have done one-on-one tutoring, tutoring around lunch time, 
tutoring while hiking around Woods Hole.

Just respond to me if you are interested in this - and I will get back 
to you. Matt - mperson at mbl.edu
