Friday Flicks Presents: The Watchmen

Friday, July 24th at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room

After the revelation of The Dark Knight, here is The Watchmen, another bold exercise in the liberation of the superhero movie. It's a compelling, visceral film - sound, images and characters combine into a decidedly odd visual experience that evokes the feel of a graphic novel. Rated R.

Cruising Connecticut With a Picnic Basket

Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong and His Crew Landing on the Moon

Monday, July 20th at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room

Special screening of Ron Howard's film, "In the Shadow of the Moon." This film combines the archival material from the original NASA film footage, much of it never seen, and interviews with the surviving astronauts who emerge as eloquent, witty, emotional, and very human.

No registration is required.

Saudi Arabia: Stereotypes Just Don't Fit

Thursday, July 23rd at 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room

Deserts, camels, sand, oil, oppressed women, terrorists - from the charming to the not-so-charming stereotypes - this is what many Americans envision when asked about Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. When Kate Seichter recently traveled to Saudi Arabia, she learned first-hand that in this case, stereotypes just don't fit.

We invite you to join local resident and Sheehan High School social studies teacher Kate Seichter for an informative program on Saudi Arabia and her recent experiences in the Educators to Saudi Arabia program. Please register in person, online, or by phone at (203)265-6754.
