Harvey and Lois Watson talk about how it used to be with WES Student Council and Zack's Place
       
   September in Review
In the mornings Zack's Place went to Billings Farm with Martha for reading and farm projects, did good deeds with Kitty handing out cookies and cleaning up trash, we delivered Pentangle Posters, wrote thank you notes, visited Norman Williams Library, made beads and sang.
 
Mid-day we wrote songs with Susan Gabrielle, we did art with Fiona, worked on our garden at Billings Farm, made music videos with Sarah, cooked and danced with Tiffany , we ate lunch at Thompson Senior Center and danced with the Barton Square dancers, made pottery with Fiona at Purple  Crayon,  exercised with Bari, and did Qi Gong with Angel.
Handing out cookies on Good Samaritan Day
 
In the afternoons we did yoga with Anne and Tita, sang with Kerry, worked out with Bari, had a treasure hunt with Woodstock Elementary Student Council and Harvey Watson discovering the use of our historic buildings when Harvey was in school, we did art with Finnie, played croquet on the common, had fun at Vail Field with Kitty, and started practice for our December musical  a suspense comedy, musical that has it all.

Eduardo's Hideaway"

I know a dark secluded place.
A place where no one knows your face.
A glass of wine a fast embrace.
It's called Eduardo's Hideaway - Ole!

 

Join Nerissa Edwards and Jim Sadwith at their

1929 Speakeasy


for an evening of fine wine, fine dining provided by Kate
Miller, and live music and song provided by the inimitable Fred Haas, the incandescent Sabrina Brown, and esteemed guest performers. An evening so entertaining, it used to be illegal. 

Just knock three times and whisper low, 

That you and I were sent by Joe.
Then Strike a match and you will know 

You're in Eduardo's Hideaway - Ole!
