Clio’s Muse History Book Group

Zoom meeting at 7pm 

The book for March is The Great Mistake by Jonathan Lee

Andrew Haswell Green is dead, shot at the venerable age of eighty-three, when he thought life could hold no more surprises. The killing–on Park Avenue in broad daylight, on Friday the thirteenth–shook the city. Born to a struggling farmer, Green was a self-made man without whom there would be no Central Park, no Metropolitan Museum of Art, no Museum of Natural History, no New York Public Library. But Green had a secret, a life locked within him that now, in the hour of his death, may finally break free. A work of tremendous depth and piercing emotion, The Great Mistake is the story of a city transformed, a murder that made a private man infamous, and a portrait of a singular individual who found the world closed off to him–yet enlarged it.

Get your Saturdays off to a great start with our second 3 week session of Zumba Gold Classes. We are thrilled to be collaborating with the Town of Marbletown Parks, Trails and Recreation Department to offer you these exercise classes free of charge.

Zumba Gold is a dance fitness program instructed by licensed instructor, Donna Ebanks and is suited for anyone needing lower impact Zumba classes. This class is slower paced and will focus on balance, coordination and flexibility. Its a great way for seniors, anyone with mobility issues, or those just beginning their fitness journey, to get started.

Registration is required for each class.

The Stone Ridge Library Knitters meet every Saturday morning from 10am – 12noon. All ages and experience levels can join us and drop-in knitters are also welcome. We each bring our own supplies and do our own work, but one of the best things about us is that whatever obstacle or confusion you might encounter, you’re likely to receive as much comment and advice as you need to get where you’re going with a project.
