Late Fall 2026

Good wishes to all for Thanksgiving and the December Holidays! May there be peace and community and a better world!

Looking forward to 2027 we are planning several events for MHC ’63.  

A new Alternative Living Discussion will be in December or January led by Nancy Welker. Bring any new ideas and feedback on your own recent experiences in living. 

In early Spring we’ll have a class movie discussion – now become a tradition for us in the last 6 or 7 years. We’re looking for a newly released movie centered on women, or written, directed, or produced by women.  Please make your suggestions and/or reviews in the Member Chat. If you’d like to be part of movie choosing and planning let us know. Judy Widmann will be heading up a group to choose a movie, and the time and date of our discussion. We are happy for recommendations. We often plan our discussion around the time of the Oscars in February or March. By then other awards for new movies have been given – when reviews are more abundant.  

   We are in very early stages of planning another mini-reunion in Hudson, NY in the spring or fall of 2027. Our hope is to attend the Olana State Historic Site of the Hudson River School paining of Frederic Church in Columbia County, New York. Nancy White, Paula Kaplan, Judy Widmann, Diane Rapp, and I will be checking out nearby possible accommodations. 

   There also is the possibility of having a mini-reunion in Cincinnati, OH on the recommendation of Mary Ann Weiss.  Mary Ann who lives in Cincinnati and Alice Andrus enjoyed experiencing the art, and Italian architecture, and food and culture in Cincy!

All of our projects in the works will benefit from whatever suggestions you may have.

Thanks Mary Ann for posting the fun photos of the Maine mini See Mary's entry below.
