What We’re Up To

 

March is shaping up to be an exciting month for us. We have some new groups, like Science Experiments with Dave, Art Appreciation, About Aromatherapy and Astronomy, in addition to our old favorites. And we’ll be out in the community once a day with exciting community outings. We will visit the Volleyball Hall of Fame to learn about one of the two famous sports invented locally. A small group of participants will usher in the spring at the Smith College Bulb Show- and will hopefully bring back some inspiration for the new window gardens we are building. We will be shopping at Walmart, and enjoying both science and beauty at the Big E Gem and Mineral Show. Our lunch out this month will be to Bertucci’s.                    

 

On St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th, we will be celebrating with theme groups, such as Biography: St. Patrick and the Science of Luck. Our afternoon party will include Irish Soda Bread baked by the participants, green beer and a lot of singing and dancing. And let’s hope that the luck of the Irish carries over to the 18th, because it will come in handy on our day trip to FOXWOODS CASINO.
