We Love Movies!

First Monday of the month 7pm Though we usually meet the 1st Monday of each month at 7pm via Zoom, the movie group is taking the month of July off due to numerous summer related conflicts.   For the August 1 movie discussion, we have selected Silver Linings Playbook, which is available on Netflix. This is a romantic comedy about a man with bipolar disorder who has to move home with his parents but makes a connection with a young widow, helping both of them heal. Focusing on mental health issues, we would welcome your participation and opinions. CLICK HERE TO JOIN

Book Club – We Love Books!

Third Monday of the Month at 7pm Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy was selected for the July 18 discussion. Set in the Scottish Highlands, the story attempts to balance trust and fear, humanity and nature, as twin sisters work to reintroduce a pack of wolves – think Yellowstone rewilding – to natural surroundings where they have been absent for 300 years. Still Life by Louise Penny is the Aug 1 book selection. This is the first of the Inspector Gamache mysteries set in Montreal. Suspicious death in a rural village. Tragic accident or something more sinister? CLICK HERE TO JOIN

A long term resident of Maybrook who graduated from Orange County Community College, she received a BA from Binghamton University with a concentration in painting.      Her early experience was in the art department of a silk screener for the garment industry. Sherin painted two murals in the children’s room of the library in Maybrook.
