Dear Patrons,
March madness has begun at the Senior Center with a flurry of activity unfolding. This month we welcome in spring on the 20th and will set our clocks ahead for daylight savings on the 9th. Safety officials suggest that you change the batteries in your smoke alarms at the same time you change the clocks, to help insure proper operation.
The staff has put together several seasonal programs in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day! We will offer a luncheon with Irish songs on the 10th with guitarist Bill Reidy. Then Jack Craig joins us to share his Irish Songbook collection on the 17th. In addition, Nancy Franks, will provide a virtual tour of some popular attractions in Ireland along with the legend of leprechauns. The Seaflower Café is also jumping on the Irish bandwagon and will be providing a grab and go Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner on the 14th. Rounding out the month, we have author Kathleen Cummings, on her book, “From the Top of the Bog to Boston”, a 20th century Irish Journey along with the Art of Film featuring the movie Brooklyn about a young Irish immigrant.
If you are looking for a fresh start this spring, there are several healthy living programs such as “Live Your Life Well”, the Mind Diet with a registered dietician, Decluttering Your Home, and a Train the Brain class.
If you are seeking out stimulating activities try Art for Your Mind, a Felting Class, Nature Talks with Mass Audubon or “Finger Knitting” a country throw blanket.
A very happy spring season to all,
Carol
