A reminder that we will be closed on Monday, February 17th for the Presidents Day Holiday. There will also be no lunch that day so please plan accordingly.
Here’s a look at the exciting programming we have going on this month:
- Join Silver Screeners for popcorn and a movie followed by a discussion with a volunteer from Scarecrow Video. This month’s movie will be The Beales of Grey Garden and will be shown Monday, February 10th at 1:30pm. This film is a follow-up to the celebrated 1975 documentary Grey Gardens about Jackie Kennedy’s aunt and cousin, “Big” Edie and “Little” Edie Beale. The Beales of Grey Gardens gives greater insight into the simultaneously contentious and loving relationship between the mother and daughter, as well as their relationship with the young caretaker, Jerry.
- On Monday, March 3rd at 1:30pm Humana will hold a rock painting class. They will also be tabling on Wednesday, February 12th at 12pm to provide information on Medicare and Medicaid benefits.

Everyone is encouraged to join. Please note that we will not hold Mahjong on February 24th to help facilitate this event.
