September 2024 Newsletter
The summer is over, and we look forward to an exciting Fall with many interesting activities being planned. We are waiting for the return of the Membership applications so we can plan innovative programs around the interests of the group. We are in the process of expanding the Board of the Social Circle of Claridge House One and welcome members who are interested in participating in the development of our programs.
During the month of August, in addition to our regular activities, two special events were held. Joann Stone arranged for a group to attend the AMC theater in Wayne to view the opera, Porgy and Bess. Additionally, many of our residents enjoyed the Movie Nite featuring the film Thelma, planned and hosted by Al Zowada and Joan Strank. A theater atmosphere was provided by the decor, paper goods and complimentary snacks.
