There are just a few leaves on the trees now, and it's almost time to VOTE!
November is full of opportunities to create, learn, listen, and discuss! Don't miss Alan Gitelson's mid-term election debrief (whether the results bring you joy or "oy!") plus gingerbread house decorating with Michele ('tis almost the season!), a new art exhibit, and a fireside concert - with a historical twist. |

We are beyond sad to share that our Roaring '20s Centennial Gala is cancelled. With viruses on the rise in our area, we thought it best to play it safe. (If you think about it, though, we have the whole rest of this decade to have a "twenties" themed event, so don't retire those flapper costumes just yet!) |

P.S. There are extra spaces in our partnership program with Southern Maine Agency on Aging. The 4 week program "A Matter of Balance"emphasizes practical strategies to reduce fear of falling and increase activity levels.
