April is National Poetry Month

Saturday, April 19, 2025

1:30 pm

Maxine Kumin is one of America's treasured poets, often playfully referred to as New Hampshire's "Roberta Frost." On Saturday, April 19, you can hear about her life through her poetry as read by Suzy Colt. The program promises to be entertaining, amusing, and often poignant.

Suzy Colt is offering line dancing lessons to keep people from freezing into ice blocks over the winter. This is not your typical line dancing. It is what she likes to call “ballroom line dancing.” The music and dance steps will vary from urban, jazz, rock & roll, disco, country, Latin, hustle, and smooth styles. No experience required. Just the urge to move to the music and let it take you away from your everyday activities. Dancing recharges your soul!

Tuesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. starting January 14, 2025, for the foreseeable future.

Trinity United Methodist Church basement.

Corner of Lancaster Rd. and Maple Street
