To express interest, email Susan Hyde at susanfosterhyde@gmail.com to be added to the master list of paddlers. Details for each trip will be sent via email the week prior to the outing.
Friday, July 24, 11:30-12:30 p.m., Silent Book Club
Join us on the fourth Friday of the month for the Silent Book Club, a no-assigned-reading gathering. This welcoming space offers a relaxed way to socialize and build community, without the pressure of structured discussion or the need to finish the book. Bring whatever you’re currently reading fiction or nonfiction, print, ebook, or audiobook. We’ll begin by book sharing where we casually share what book you are enjoying. You may even discover your next great read, so consider bringing a notebook to jot down recommendations. Afterwards, you can continue with casual conversations about the books you are reading, or you can find a cozy nook to continue silently reading your book. Light refreshments will be provided. To register, call 802-424-6345.
Saturday, 10:00 a.m. – noon. *, Learn to Play Pickleball
at the Charlotte Beach pickleball courts
No registration required.
(Please note that there is a parking fee at Charlotte Beach)
Curious About Pickleball? Pickleball is a fun and fast-growing sport that helps improve balance, agility, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination—without placing too much strain on your body. It’s a great option for those who may have enjoyed tennis in the past but now face physical limitations such as hip, shoulder, knee, or other joint concerns.
Sunday, July 26, 12:30–2:30 p.m., Shape-Note Singing
Join us for traditional, a cappella four-part harmony singing—purely for the joy of it! An intro to shape notes is offered 30 minutes before each session. First hour: Sacred Harp singing. Second hour: Alternate Shape-Note book (books provided). Questions? Contact Kerry Cullinan at kclynxvt@gmail.com
