Women’s Stories, Women’s Lives- Mondays
Time: 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. Start Date TBD.
As we grow into our mature years it is important to find opportunities to reflect on the real life we’ve lived and make some sense of it. It is often those things that have been harder to speak of that keep us from feeling at peace with the lives we’ve lived. Come join us in being real, crying at times and laughing often, as we make sense of it together.
Facilitator will be Sue Fraser Frankewicz, a retired medical social worker and experienced group leader.
Please Sign-Up at Reception. Group limited to 8 participants.

Check the display case near the library for examples of the fun that you can have with “Inks”!
Alcohol ink is a vibrant and breathtaking art medium that leaves a colorful, tie-dyed like pattern. Using alcohol inks can be a fun way to use colors and create fun backgrounds and designs on glass, tiles or paper. Mixing colors can create a vibrant marbled effect and the possibilities are endless of the variations you can make. Decorating glass, tiles and paper with alcohol inks is easy and yields beautiful results. This class is great for a beginner or advanced artist.

Christmas Day Party
The Christmas Party on the 25th of December at the Senior Center was a success again this year!
With almost 100 people attending, everyone enjoyed great food, fun, friends, bingo and a visit from Santa. It was also great to see and talk with Betty, as she has been involved for so many years.
Thanks to everyone who donated food, money and time for this special day. A special thank you to: The Bordeau Family who always do the “heavy lifting” for this event; Ben for the turkeys; Hart’s Greenhouse and Florist for the poinsettias for everyone and the Plainfield High School students who wrote a special message for each Senior. You all made this Christmas special for everyone attending!
Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped out! This has been another great year!
Happy and Healthy New Year to all. See you all again next year!
