Are you aware that we have a plethora of weekly programs for adults that are open to new participants? This might be the time to for you to make a new set of friends at one of the following activities.
CRAFT, PAINT & COLOR (Monday): Come unwind, de-stress and create
every Monday from 12:30-2:30 PM as we gather to dabble in painting, coloring or
creative crafts using oil, acrylic, watercolor, pen and pencil. Individuals
work on canvas, wood, sketchpads and coloring books. This nicely sized group is
comprised of folks that are both friendly and creative. Please register to attend and bring your own
materials.
Research
shows that creative activities help you relax. This is an open time so feel
free to stay the entire time, leave early or come late. Remember this is a no
stress event so if you only have 30 minutes to spare than spend it relaxing
with fellow creative art enthusiasts.
ITALIAN CONVERSATIONS (Tuesday): This adult study group focuses on practicing speaking Italian by helping each other through shared resources, various activities and games. If you are fluent or are learning the language with a basic understanding of Italian vocab, grammar and verb conjugations (present tense), please come join us to exercise your Italian the fun way from 6-7:45 PM.
NEEDLE CRAFTERS (Wednesday): Whether you enjoy knitting, crocheting, rug braiding,
quilting or another form of needle work come join us for Needle Crafters. Each
Wednesday between 10:00 AM and noon, this informal gathering is a fun meet-up
for those who are currently working on projects or who wish to start one. Are
you stuck on a stitch or confused by a pattern? Most likely someone in the
group can help. It is a great way to get some ideas for beginning new projects
as well. This weekly meet and greet group enjoys conversation and laughs while
stitching away. Please bring your own materials.
Room size
capacity is limited so registration is required. We may be unable to
accommodate walk-in participants. Please use the online calendar or call to get
on the list.
COMMUNITY KNITTERS (Thursday): Join this caring group who knits and donates all their items to charity. They are always welcoming new folks who are like-minded. They gather and knit from 10:00-noon.
LET’S
PLAY MAH JONGG (Friday): If you
already know how to play Mah Jongg, come join the fun and join us in this
strategy-based (plus a bit of luck) game.
Registration is required so please use the online calendar or give us a
call. This group plays from 1:00-4:30 PM.
Mah Jongg, a fun rummy-like game, is played
with tiles rather than cards. There are many different versions of game all
around the world. We play American Mah Jongg and follow the rules as defined by
the National Mah Jongg League. One of the main differences is that American Mah
Jongg uses an annual card of Official Standard Hands and Rules, against which
all games are played. These cards are available from the National Mah Jongg
League and you will need to bring yours along to use while playing.
Cozy up in the meeting room of the Library,
share some laughs, and make some new friends. Studies have shown that Mah Jongg
is a great game for keeping the mind sharp – we can all benefit from that!
