SENIOR VILLAGE ACTION GROUP TEA
THURSDAY AT 3
Thursday at 3 PM we are having our 15th Meeting of the Senior (Action) Tea at the Paige Memorial Library. All invited to participate and add to the agenda! We are hoping do good things for Hardwick. Todd Miller (Office in the Municipal Building) is helping in a professional way and hopefully we can move through the steps of getting the project off the ground. We have had several trips to different sites for Senior Housing Developments in the area and found a beautiful place in the Church Street School in Ware, Ma. It was both excellent and affordable too. I can see one or two of our abandoned buildings in town following this plan very successfully. Come and join the fun and btw, there are refreshments also!
Thanks, Kate
Thursday at 3 is Tea Time at the Paige
The Second Tuesday Book Club will meet monthly at 3 p.m. (new time)

FUNdamentals of Art – ARTISTIC ADVENTURES
Learn something new,… hone a skill,… challenge your creative problem solving.
Come join a fun group of people who love to explore art materials. Come increase your understanding and appreciation of making art, and art as recreation and relaxation. Drop in to see what’s happening; but once you come, we know you will be back! You can even bring another activity, like knitting, to do while interacting with the group. When possible, tools will be provided and shared, depending on the activity and the number of participants.
Participating in creative activities has been shown to improve our cognitive skills and create a confident and optimistic attitude.
Thursdays 5 to 7 PM
Computer Users’ Workshop – Are you interested? When shall we meet?
Let’s explore how to use your technology! Come help us develop this group which will meet at the Paige … participants will choose when to meet and what the topics will be. If you have a laptop or iPad, bring it.
Sharing with others in groups reduces anxiety, improves self-esteem, and helps members’ sense of overall well-being. Where else can you accomplish that, enjoy the company of some very interesting people, and learn something new?
