Upcoming Events
THURSDAY: Coffee and Conversation, 10 –11:30 AM
This week: Frank Dolan informs on “Ireland: then and now.” Frank and Carm are members of the club, and Frank spoke to our group once before so we have asked him back to tell us more about Ireland. Next week: Our guest is Anne Putman, who has been active in the theatre scene on PEI and elsewhere. Anne’s talk will be, “Tales from Beyond the Stage: Managing the Mahem.” And then, the next week we’re trying something new: “Coffee with Blarney,” a morning of joke-telling in which we hope everyone who comes will take a part. More on that next week. Remember if schools are closed on Thursday because of the weather, then Coffee and Conversation is cancelled for that day.
FRIDAY: Friday Social – Bar Opens at 4, Draws at 6
