All are invited to a reception on Monday, October 3, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Hollis Room of the Gleason Public Library to honor Carlisle resident Estelle Keast for her work on the creation, development, and production of the Carlisle Cultural and Health Series.

They have covered timely topics with expert presenters from the fields of history, art, philosophy, current events, music, health with many health care providers participating from the area hospitals. She also developed the art and history lectures in collaboration with the DeCordova Museum for Lincoln and Carlisle.
