The LoL’s are always looking for opportunitie to gather friends to go, do and see.

November’s field trip is to the Norwich Ice Rink for a a skating session on Sunday, 9 November from 1-2:30. Admission plus skate rental is $10. If you can’t make it that day open rink times are Sun-Thur from 1-2:30; Fri - 12:30-2:00 and Sat 2-3:30 and 5:30-7. For directions or more details call 860-892-2555 x 0.

Create a fabulous fashion accessory at You’ve Got To Be Beading in Mystic. There’s an evening session planned for Thursday, 13 November at 7:00 and a day session on Friday 21 November at 10:00 am so hopefully everyone will be able to fit this nifty chance to chat with friends while making an orginal piece of wearable art.

If anyone is interested in participating in MWR’s 5K Turkey Trot at the end of November or the Jingle Bell Jog in December, but doesn’t want to go it alone - please contact me and we’ll some matchmaking. You don’t have to run or jog - We already have one member looking for a partner to ‘walk briskly’ for these events. Don’t forget to check out Bodywork for their class schedule!

If you can crochet, knit, sew or have a special hobby or skill - we want to hear from you! Don’t keep it to yourself as there is always someone eager to learn (or re-learn) how to do/make something! Let me know and we can set up a date, time and location!

I also need feedback on interest in meeting for lunch at the Officers’ Club on Tuesdays and learn (or fine tune) the game Cribbage. No experience necessary.

Please don’t be shy about making suggestions for field trips, crafts or opportunities to learn something new! Contact Sue Derenski at 860-887-5783 or using the form below with your ideas and feedback.
