3rd Annual Night Golf Tournament
Friday, August 15, 2008
Links at Lang Farm in Essex

Beginning at 5:00 p.m., golfers play nine holes in the daylight to get a feel for the course. After a barbecue dinner, the tournament will resume with golfers playing nine holes in the dark. Under the moonlight, teams will navigate a course lit up by glow sticks and play with a specially designed luminescent golf ball. If you enjoy playing golf, you'll love the unique experience of night golf!

Entry fees are $400 for a four-person team or $125 per person and include green fees, cart, golf balls, barbecue dinner, event gift, awards and social hour. All profits support the Sara Holbrook Community Center. Space is limited, so register soon!

We've had some visitors!

Last week both the after-schoolers and preschoolers were visited by some local artists and musicians! The Preschool class listened and danced to some traditional African drumming and song, performed by Craig Myers and his friend. Each preschooler then got a turn to drum some beats for everyone.

In the After-school program, the Fleming Museum visited as part of their after-school outreach program. Andy Goldsworthy, an artist that creates sculptures using natural materials such as twigs, leaves, grass, stones, bark, shared some of his art through a slideshow with the group. They had to guess the natural materials that each sculpture was made from- it's not as easy as it sounds! After, all the kids got to make their own sculpture using natural materials (flowers, twigs, leaves) to take home. You can see some of their fabulous artwork in these photos!

April Break

Once again, the kids at the Sara Holbrook Community Center were busy during the April Break with loads of activities! We had great weather all week and got to enjoy many days outside. The kids visited Ethan Allen Homestead, where they explored the river, played in the trees, checked out the beginning stages of the gardens and just ran around! They also spent one afternoon ice skating at Leddy Park Ice Arena, enjoyed "Horton Hears a Who" at the Palace 9 Theater, and created handmade masks at the Fleming Museum.

We are getting ready for our summer programs, including the Barnes Summer World Academy, New Arrivals, and the Youth Adventure Program!
