Art Class - The Encore Art class is a time to step away from your daily responsibilities and learn ways to express your creativity. Each class has a one day project intended to explore artistic concepts and develop skills. Classes are available once or twice a month throughout the year in the art room at the Lapham Center in New Canaan. All the supplies are provided. Just sign up, show up and allow yourself to have a little fun creating art.  If you have any questions, please contact Holly Kennedy.

Book Group - The Encore Book Group meets once a month, usually downstairs at Lapham Community Center.   There is always a lively discussion so please email Anne Sutcliffe if you’d like to participate.  If you RSVP to Anne, you can be alerted to any changes in the schedule or venue.

Bridge Group - This group was created for social bridge players of intermediate level to have fun practicing and improving their skills while enjoying the company of other ladies who are there to do the same thing. We are a fun-loving group and welcome players to be members of a set group or as substitutes. We play bridge on the second Wednesday of the month from September through May starting at 9:15 at the Lapham Community Center. If you would like to join us for social bridge, or as a substitute, please email Simin Zendehrouh or call 203-966-7391.

Bunco Come, join the fun and learn the easy, social dice game "Bunco".  No experience necessary!  Bunco event is usually held at a member's home monthly, except August and December.  The participants will bring an appetizer, dessert or bottle of wine.  Cost is $10 for the Bunco pot plus $3 (single dollar bills) for the dollar game.  All fees are payable at the event. If you are interested in hosting a Bunco event, or have questions, please contact Mary Liz Lewis.

Canasta – If you are interested in learning and playing a fun card game, then Canasta is for you. The group meets on Thursdays from 1:30 – 3:30 at Lapham Community Center. The first twenty people who respond to the TeamReach invitation will have a seat at a table. The next four will be substitutes. If you would like to be added to the list please email Geri Rhoades.

Critics Corner – If you enjoy going to the movies and love an opportunity to discuss the movie with other movie enthusiasts, then you should consider joining Critics’ Corner. We meet at a member’s house. After socializing over appetizers and some drinks, we then discuss and rate the two movies, which we will have already seen on our own. Each attendee brings either an appetizer or dessert and contributes $5 when they arrive to cover the cost of the drinks. Spouses/Significant others welcome! Please email Lorraine Jacobi if you would like to participate.
