September is next week! Here is our featured lunch entrees for September. Everyday there s much more than the entrée. We are open to the public!
Last call to sign up for FALL 1 Classes
We suggest that you register for classes sooner rather than later! Why does it matter? At times a class or event is cancelled because it does not meet the minimum amount of participants registered to run the week before it is to start; so we must cancel due to low enrollment. Next week is the week we determine if a class runs or not.
Of course , at the other end of it – You may be too late and a class is full; then you are sad – we don’t want you sad. You can register in person OR register ONLINE at https://grotonct.myrec.com
