DECEMBER SENIOR NEWSLETTER 2023
Hello Everyone,
November was a very busy month with exercise, walks, two trips-the Katonah Museum of Art and Woodbury Commons, and our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon. As I tell you every year, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I always enjoy the Thanksgiving feast with all of you and I think everyone had a good time this year.
The walks will continue in December, and they are listed on the calendar. The walks are on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The Senior Book Club will meet at the Hastings Library in the Barnes Room, on the 4th Friday of each month from 1:30-2:30 p.m., unless the date falls close to a holiday. Copies of selected books will be available at the circulation desk. For additional information or to suggest a book, contact Joyce DeVilbiss-Coordinator at (347) 835-9512 or j.a.devilbiss@gmail.com
The book for December is: “The Night Diary” by Veera Hiranandani. Copies will be available at the library. In view of the fact, that the 4th Friday falls close to Christmas, the Book Club will meet on Friday December 15th.
