Squishtivities! Hands on Art for Young Children

Tuesday, May 27, 10 – 10:45 a.m.

Squishtivities are art programs for young children (babies, toddlers, young preschoolers). The goal is to explore art that might feel a little too messy for home, and to get some parental experience with the range of art that your child can explore at their age. This is a drop in program, but we encourage that you come right at 10:00 because we must begin clean up right on time to make room for Toddler Story Time. Come splash, paint, bubble, chalk, and explore with us each month.

Readers Digest – A Pie Party

Wednesday, May 28 @ 5 p.m.

Come out and join us for good food and discussion. Join in creating and partaking in a potluck focused on our theme of the month followed up by a discussion of the cooking process and tidbits we want to share.

This month’s theme is all things pie! This includes fruit pies, meat pies, and any other kind of sweet or savory pies. You can pull a recipe from any cookbook, family recipe or blog on the internet. Please show up with a printed or written version of the recipe to be added to an ongoing collection of recipes that the club has made.
