Tellebration Songs From History with Storyteller Ann Shapiro
Preston Library will host a free Tellabration at the Library for families on
Sunday, November 5th at 1:00 p.m. featuring storyteller Ann Shapiro. Ann will bring history alive through stories and songs. What did kids do before there was television, computers and smart phones? Come and find out as Ann leads the
group in singing folk songs, stories from long ago, and play-party games. Some
songs and stories will trace the restless American spirit of emigration, immigration and migration. Also included are songs and stories that people brought with them from the other countries and their variants as they become Americanized.

HungerLESS Holiday Program
The Turkeys are coming, the turkeys are coming to the Preston Senior
Center on Wednesday, November 15th
.
Resident State Troopers Sean Bresnan and Kris Fisher are in the process of
acquiring turkeys for distribution to our senior population, in need. Last year, it
was a last-minute notice and we tried to get the word out as quickly and
efficiently as possible. As of the printing of this newsletter, we have a date but no
time designated for the distribution. Our plans are to allocate a two-hour time
span for our elders to participate in the program. (Please contact the Senior
Affairs Office at 860-887-5581 ext. 6 to receive information on the time, prior to November 15th). We will also provide information on the Town of Preston
website preston-ct.org as soon as we know more details.
