Welcome June! This month brings so much hope and excitement towards returning to life as we knew it before Covid19.<\/p>\n
Since we have come so far with vaccines and safety precautions, we are now in a good place to be able to start our activities programs again while following all recommended guidelines.
\nWe are still being cautious and limiting our exposure as much as possible, all while having fun!<\/p>\n
We are excited to welcome back a few of our favorite entertainers this month. We begin with a longtime friend of Bartlett Woods, Hank Lunn. Hank will be sharing the story of Floating Reed Island on Lake Titicaca in Peru. It will be nice to \u201ctravel\u201d to a foreign destination without the restrictions. We are looking forward to his presentation.<\/p>\n
Speaking of traveling . . . we are starting a new series this month called \u201cTravel Tuesday.\u201d Each week we will watch a documentary on a specific foreign land or take a ride to a local destination on our new bus. I also hope to incorporate speakers as we progress with this series.<\/p>\n
We will be doing some traveling of our own this month to some of our favorite destinations, such as the Rockland Farmer\u2019s Market, Beth\u2019s Farm Stand, Reny\u2019s in Belfast and the Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockland.<\/p>\n
Another sign of life returning to normal is some of our favorite speakers will be back!! Michael Perry of Freeport has been coming to Bartlett Woods for many, many years. Michael travels all over the world and creates incredible slide shows along with stories of the area to share. After an hour with him, you feel as if you have traveled to the same destination. We welcome Michael back on Friday June 18th for a \u201cHappy Birthday Maine\u201d show! <\/p>\n
We will also be welcoming back our favorite fiddle player, Owen Kennedy. This kid is just 15-years old and he is amazing! He\u2019s got a huge following right here at Bartlett Woods. We were also lucky that he came and played outside around our building during our \u201cshelter in place\u201d phase last year. He\u2019s got a big heart and loads of talent. He will be playing for us in our Parlor on June 30th. <\/p>\n
Of course our regular programs are all back in place including exercise with our YMCA instructor, Victor. He\u2019s working hard to get us all back in shape after this past year. We are also holding our regular monthly activities, such as games, shopping trips, picnics, lunches out (outside dining only), discussion groups, and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n
We are so excited to be able to resume most of our activities, even if we have to do them a little differently. We are looking forward to making some great memories this summer.
\nWe saved a seat for you! <\/p>\n
