Zack's Place September 2012  Newsletter

Greetings!Diving into the Britton Pond
 
 September is upon us and we at Zack's Place are savoring the good weather. We have had an amazing summer with too much fun. There are some great new programs for fall that we are very excited about. Starting next week Zack's Place will be working on forming their own band with Mark Van Gulden from Purple Crayon. We will also start practicing for our December musical with Holly Levison and singing songs with Jarvis.  If you want to become famous be sure to stop in on Friday afternoons and practice for our musical with us. Enjoy the articles, calendar and photos.

With fall coming up I want to remind you to go online and register for the Turkey trot at www.runreg.com and to sign up for the "Texas Hold em" Dine Around Event. 


August In Review
  In August Zack's Place enjoyed canoeing and kayaking, boating on the Connecticut River, swimming at local swimming holes, we rode horses at Moonrise Farm, we played golf with Jim G. at Woodstock Country Club and visited Montshire Musuem. 
We were artistic with Fiona from Purple Crayon creating all different types of art. We made clay pieces for our mosaic table with Christina, we knitted  and did weaving with Renee and we worked on our culinary skills cooking our produce from our garden, Annie O'neill taught us how to make macaroons and whoopie pies. Also we learned how to make pickles at Billings Farm and now we even make our own Ice Cream.  We cooked a lunch for some of our helpers and served vegetable dishes from our garden. Yum!
We did yoga with Tita, danced with Susan Picolli, moved to the music with Angel, we sang with Bonbon and Et and we attended  brown bag concerts on the green.
An amazing guest speaker Lois Watson came in and talked about her life as a pilot. We  read books with Jim Sadwith, Ron Jaynes, Tom Wright, Jan Weiner, Phil Swanson, Anthea Lavallee and Patricia Peters.
It is not all fun and games we worked too! At Billings Farm we weeded and maintained our garden, we delivered posters for Pentangle, we  worked on inventory for our greeting card business and also helped clean and maintain our space.
