Test your luck, practice number identification, and strengthen your attention and self-regulation skills for a few rounds of BINGO. Winners will walk away with a new (slightly used) book. The way to win will vary for each game, from filling the whole card to getting a diagonal line to filling the top half first, etc. Come have fun and see if it is your lucky day!

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.
