locals and visitors since 1983. Enjoy a
great buffet with a wide variety of salads, hot & cold entrees, desserts,
beverage. All food is prepared on the
premise and enjoyed in the main dining room.
After dining, take your reserved seats in the theater. After the Play, return to the dining room for
the Cabaret Show. This will be a fun day
filled with great food and entertainment.
Trip cost is $94 per person. Trip
sign up date is February 2, 2018.
We are happy to offer a new Qigong class for nine weeks, beginning
on March 1 and running through April 26. Join Marcy Hickey on Thursday
mornings, from 8:45 – 9:45 am. Qigong is a holistic
system of coordinated body posture and slow flowing movement, deep rhythmic
breathing, and a calm, meditative state of mind. With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qigong is traditionally
viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi, translated as life
energy. Qigong is now practiced throughout China and worldwide for recreation,
exercise and relaxation, and preventive medicine. A trial class was very
well-received. Class registrations begin on February 6 for Enfield
residents, February 13 for non-residents and will be accepted through February
23. The nine-week class fees are $36 for Enfield residents and $45 others. We
hope to have you with us!
