It's almost that time again! Color and Chill: an Adult Coloring program will be happening this Friday, August 11th at 6:30pm. Come join us for a hour of quiet relaxation before your busy weekend plans and enjoy some 'you' time.

(And if you want to come early, the room will be set - the snacks just go out at 6:30!)
Everything you'll need will be provided - just bring yourself! No registration required.
If coloring isn't your thing, the next Board Game Night is coming as well and we'd love to see you there! Join us Thursday, August 17th at 6pm to play your favorite games, learn new ones, and meet new board game buddies in the community.
We welcome gamers of all levels and will have a new featured game each month for you to try out. Feel free to bring in your favorite game to teach as well!

We're getting close! We're playing off the classic summer tradition to bring you Shakespeare in the Courtyard! Partnering with the Globe Theater in London, we'll be bringing two of their recorded performances so you can experience Shakespeare 'live' on stage.
Our first screening will be August 25th at 7:30pm where we'll be showing "A Midsummer Night's Dream", the classic tale of mistaken identity, unrequited love, and a bit of supernatural interference set in ancient Greece.
Bring chairs or blankets to sit on, snacks, and maybe a friend or two to enjoy a fun evening with these classic works as they were originally performed, direct from across the Pond! No registration required.
Rain date will be Friday, September 29th.
