ANGELA MACKOWSKI
Recreation Coordinator
I was born and raised in Arizona and moved around quite a bit before settling in Mountain View. I earned my BA in Anthropology from Arizona State University (Go Sun Devils!) and absolutely love getting to know people. In my free time I enjoy camping, bowling, the pottery wheel, and baking/cooking. I recently took a cooking class in Italy where I made some delicious pastas. I am so excited to work with the Mountain View Senior Center and look forward to getting to know you all!

Summer of Soul
July 7
In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary-part music film, part historical record created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park). The footage was never seen and largely forgotten--until now. SUMMER OF SOUL shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. The feature includes never-before-seen concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Ray Baretto, Abbey Lincoln & Max Roach and more.
Genre: Documentary
Starring: Ray Barretto, Billy Davis Jr.
Rated: PG-13

At the B&B run by her host family, she encounters gregarious and persistent heartthrob movie star Beckett Rush (Jedidiah Goodacre), who is there to film another installment of his medieval fantasy-adventure franchise. As romance sparks between the unlikely pair, Beckett ignites a journey of discovery for Finley that transforms her heart, her music, and her outlook on life. In turn, Finley emboldens Beckett to reach beyond his teen-idol image and pursue his true passion. But when forces surrounding Beckett's stardom threaten to crush their dreams, Finley must decide what she is willing to risk for love.
