Events this month

First Friday

Enjoy some wine and hor d'oeuvres. Sit down and relax listening to the sounds of Art Larson's soothing clarinet.

Cathy's Polymer Clay Class

On Saturday, Oct. 21 from noon to 3 p.m. Cathy will be teaching her students how to make Halloween bats. Her classes are popular, so sign up early. All materials are provided. This is a great family project, a perfect multi-generational activity and something you can keep or give as a unique gift to someone special.

Jam Night

Dust off that old guitar, bass, keyboard, ukulele or whatever you have and come on out for a fun night of music and socializing. We are mostly a group of intermediate musicians, so don't think you have to be great to join us. Bring a few copies of songs you want us to play. We usually start around 6 p.m., but you can arrive as early as 5 p.m. People coming from work arrive as late as 8 p.m. This month, jams take place on Tuesday nights, Oct. 3, 17 and Halloween (if enough people want to participate).
