This month, they’ll discuss poetry and bring suggestions for nonfiction books for May. Euchre players are invited to gather from 2:30-4 p.m. Tuesday, April 15. The Creative Writing Club meets that same evening at 5:30 p.m., and members will share their writing focusing on the themes of April Fools, books, and/or lost and found. Chair Yoga also returns at 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, April 16, for gentle mobility and stability practice for all levels. Beginning Knitting is taking place again at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 29.
