An informal spinning group focusing on drop spindle yarn method from wool and other fibers.  Beginners and more advanced spinners welcome.  Bring your own spindle and fiber, or if you are new to this ancient craft, contact us ahead so we can provide "loaners" to you (a small fee for wool used will be collected as arranged in advance).  Drop spindle spinning uses a lightweight spindle that is very portable, as opposed to a heavy and expensive spinning wheel.  Co-sponsored by the Friends of Hathorn House Historical Society.

On Thursday, September 6th, the Senior Improv Group will present a special  workshop with Ron Wiener and Linda Richmond.  For those who joined at  the very first meeting of the Improv Group in June 2014, you will  remember Ron as the British fellow who directed the first Play in Day and introduced us to Improvisational Theater.  Ron is a sociodramatist who leads two senior  improvisational theater groups in Britain.  He is very creative, fun  and easy to work with!
