MUSIC, EGGS, TEA, AND SOME TIPS FOR GROWING OLD AT HALL MEMORIAL LIBRARY IN MARCH

We'll entertain you for the present and help you prepare for your future this March at Hall Memorial Library, 93 Main Street in Ellington.

Kick off your St. Patrick's Day celebrations when The Jolly Beggars bring the rich tradition of Celtic folk music and storytelling to the library on Friday, March 4 at 7:00pm. The Beggars intersperse songs and stories from Irish folklore with traditional reels and jigs to add up to a lively show. As always, the music's free and light refreshments will be available.

Pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter egg, created by using the written-wax batik method. Sharon Leonard will teach you about this folk art form and help you to create your own beautiful egg in a hands-on workshop on Saturday, March 5; we will hold one class at 10:00am and a second class at 1:00pm. There will be a $5 non-refundable class fee which will cover all materials including eggs. This fee is payable within 7 days of your registration. Please note-failure to pay in time may result in surrendering your spot as we expect these classes to fill quickly.

Tea is an art to Philip Parda, owner of The Savvy Tea Gourmet in Madison, CT. He'll share his knowledge, espouse the benefits of tea-drinking, and provide several tea samples during a fun and informative evening on Tuesday, March 8 at 6:30pm.

Author George S. K. Rider's first book, written at the age of 70, takes a unique approach to growing old-DON'T DO IT! George represents the rebels, raconteurs, and roués who refuse to grow old gracefully; he'll discuss raising hell, having fun, and giving his kids and grandkids a run for their money in his golden years on Tuesday, March 22 at 6:30pm.

Aldo Pantano from the Connecticut Partnership for Long-Term Care and the State's Office of Policy and Management will discuss how his state office can help you protect your assets and plan ahead for your future long-term care needs on Thursday, March 31 at 6:30pm. No company specific products will be discussed, and there will be no sales solicitations allowed-just information that you should know.
