Mediamaker Barabara Grant weaved folklore and oral history together into a multimedia piece that she will show tonight from 6-8 p.m. at the Philadelphia Folklore Project (735 South 50th). When My Mother Broke Her Leg (and came to live with me) is about “aging, advocacy, health care policy” and her mom. Her piece is also about reconsidering the role of a child, family history and health care equity, particularly for seniors.

Nine young documentarians will put their hard work on display tomorrow night at the Griffith Auditorium at the University of the Sciences (600 S. 43rd). Their 40-minute piece, The History of Mass Transit in Philadelphia, weaves themes of cultural expression, health, history and movement of goods. The work is part of the Scribe Video Center‘s Documentary History Project for Youth, a project aimed at youth in grades 8-12. The event is free and open to the public.

The annual meeting of the Spruce Hill Community Association is tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Spruce Hill Christian School at 42nd and Baltimore (enter on the 42nd Street side).  The meeting provides an opportunity for residents to comment on “issues of concern to the neighborhood.” Third District councilwoman Jannie Blackwell is scheduled to attend the meeting.

The meeting will also include elections, including five officer positions (one-year terms) and 10 board positions (two-year terms). Any dues paying member of the association may run, although the deadline for submitting nominations has passed. The association is also looking for volunteers to help with committee work, including mailings, membership recruitment and the May Fair.
