Membership applications have been coming in at a steady pace and there is still time to join the Claridge House One Social Circle in order to partake in the complimentary dinner at Nero’s on Monday, October 14th.
Please contact Lori Brown for Membership and Harriet Greenholtz for Reservations.
John Welshons will be presenting a three-part Meditation Workshop starting in October.
An exciting Halloween Party is being planned with a “special Event” taking place as part of the festivities. Details are listed below and application forms will be distributed for these two events. While open to all residents at a cost, the size of our Community Room does limit the number of participants. Thus, first preference will be given to Social Circle members and their spouses or significant others.
Tickets for Opera performances at the AMC in Wayne as well as some Craft Workshops are on the horizon. Game nights will not be held monthly but will occur as special events. Another movie night is being considered.
A new Writing Group has been formed and is open to all residents. See details under Scheduled Programs.
The Halloween Party will supersede this month’s Happy Hour.
