Coloring is more than being creative, it’s a very relaxing activity that has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety.

Each week we’ll be coloring a new mandala design, while also enjoying a good round of conversation.

You don’t have to have a degree in art to participate…just some paper and color pencils.

Please join us. Relax and connect with like-minded people, and add a burst of color to your day!

All supplies will be provided.

The book club will be discussing The Namesake, by Jhumpa Lahiri.

Are you interested in reading and discussing novels, plays, and poems by women? Then this is your Book Club! This is a fun opportunity to indulge in some great works by women writers.

We will begin each discussion with a little background history and tidbits on each female writer. I’ll ask a few questions to get us started and then it’s an open forum. My hope is that together we gain a little more insight into these books (and perhaps the authors as well).

Some of these books you may know well. Some may be books you always meant to read and never got around to! It does not matter how expert you are with the works or the authors. If you are passionate about discussing books and would like to build up your repertoire of works by women, this might be the perfect place to start. To quote Mary Shelley: “The beginning is always today.”

January: Jhumpa Lahiri “The Namesake” 2003
February: Jane Austen “Sense and Sensibility” 1811
March: Maya Angelou “Phenomenal Woman” Four Poems 1995.
