Story time
Drop-in Story Time will be held on Feb. 6 at 10:45 a.m. Get ready to move in this interactive story time designed especially for children up to age 5 and their caregivers.

Mahjong Mania
Every Tuesday afternoon, including on Feb. 6, at 1 p.m., a spirited group of people get together in the Community Room to play Mahjong.

Insight Meditation
Join us on Feb. 6 at 5:15 p.m. for a simple group Azaen meditation practice. All are welcome.
This is a place to sit still in safety, to allow understanding and compassion to arise, to cultivate loving kindness and acceptance. Sitting here patiently in the unfolding of our community will help transform our world.
All are welcome! No registration is required.
Wednesday Matinee
“Dunkirk” will be screened on Feb. 7 at 1 p.m. The film, rated PG-13, tells the story of the evacuation of Allied soldiers from Belgium, the British Empire, and France, who were cut off and surrounded by the German army from the beaches and harbor of Dunkirk, France, between May 26 and June 04, 1940, during Battle of France in World War II.
No registration is required. Free popcorn will be served.
Knitting Circle
On Feb. 8 at 7 p.m., friendly ladies (men are welcome, but we haven’t seen any yet!) will knit and crochet, embroider and quilt, and more.
You can learn a new skill here or share your own special talents with others — or just craft in the company of friends. Drop in anytime! No registration is required.
Hugs & Kisses
On Feb. 10, at 11 a.m., in this special interactive story time, we'll go “hog wild” and we read stories, sing songs, and share a Valentine's Day snack. Before children leave, they will stuff a plush piggie friend that they can take home.
Each piggie includes a special wish star to hide inside them and a birth certificate so children can name their new friend. This program is appropriate for kids in preschool through first grade.
Registration is required and space is limited. A $5 materials fee is required and is payable at the door.
