Calling all genealogists! We’ll be hosting an open lab for FamilySearch, a free, online resource for genealogy/family history research on Friday, October 02 at 4:15 PM in our upstairs Computer Lab.
Senior Adults
Watercolor for “Young at heART” adults meets every Tuesday morning to enjoy watercolor painting while commiserating with fellow artists! This friendly and social group is open to all adults and to all levels of art experience, including those who have never painted with watercolor at all. Sometimes the group works on individual projects and sometimes there is an art education period. Sometimes you will learn something new and sometimes you can teach something to others. Join in for a morning of beautiful art and fun conversation!
