Richard Plunkett and Bibbs Clifford report that the Open Art Studio is gathering more interest each week. We invite all who wish space and time to work on an unfinished project or start a new one to come in and make themselves at home. The lighting is great…there are free materials to use and the coffee is always on.

This bears repeating: We are now open each Friday evening for Game Night. We will be open from 6 until 9 for Cribbage, Dominoes, Puzzling, Backgammon, etc. We might show a movie and there will most certainly be snacks. This is an opportunity for friends and families to have a great night out—a change of pace and it is all free. Come play with us!

Looking ahead, we will offer a Card Making class on Friday, Jan. 24 from 6-9 p.m. All supplies are provided and there is no charge for the class. We will, of course, be making beautiful valentines.

“Aging With Ease Yoga” begins on Jan. 28. The class will meet each Tuesday from 1:30 until 2:30 p.m. and is open to all, regardless of ability. Janis Sheldon, who is new to the area, brings a wealth of experience to help those over a certain age to begin to move more comfortably.

The Van will take off promptly at 10 a.m. on Jan. 28 for a trip to Yankee Lanes in Brunswick for a morning of bowling. Participants will pay $10 for two hours of bowling and shoe rental. We will have lunch at Yankee Lanes so bring some lunch money, too. Sign up is now taking place.

Be sure to call 633-9876 if you have questions about our programs or if you need to borrow durable medical equipment or if you need a ride to the center. We are here for you.
