Lunch and Learn: Tuesday, June 5th

In today’s world, driving a car may seem to be a necessary part of life, however, owning a vehicle and holding a

driver’s license are privileges that come with a great deal of responsibility. Join Michele Ellicks, Community

Outreach Coordinator for the Registry of Motor Vehicles on June 5th for an hour long program entitled, “Shifting

Gears.” Ms. Ellicks will discuss issues facing older drivers, rules of the road, recent changes that have taken

place at the RMV, as well as the warning signs of unsafe driving. She will share the requirements to apply for a

disabled parking placard or plate, as well as, a Massachusetts identification card and alternative forms of

transportation. Learn what’s available in your community. Portions of the program have been feature on

WCVB-TV’s “Chronicle” as well as in the Boston Globe. The program has received the Outstanding Public

Service Safety Award by the American Association of Motor Vehicles. Lunch of macaroni & cheese, salad,

roll, bread & butter and pineapple fluff, will be served for just $3.00 at 11:30 by Joyce and the kitchen volun-

teers. The program will start promptly at noon. Please sign up in the event book or call 781-585-0511 to re-

serve your spot.

Quilting/Quilt show:

During the month of June we will be finishing up our scheduled classes and looking forward to July and August

with an Open Classroom, called “Sew In”. As always, we will be displaying the results of our endeavors at our

Quilt Show scheduled for Thursday, June 21. Come and see the projects we have worked on and see the amazing

work our seniors have accomplished this year! Some things you can expect to see are: Information about the

quilts made for our Kingston Veterans, great little quilts for our homes incorporating scarecrows, turkeys and

rabbits (one for each season), a bargello quilt incorporating butterflies – astounding , a springtime flower pot for

our door, and our last project for the year, quilts for “Quilts for Kids”! Hope you will have time to stop by the

Activity Room June 21, 2018, 10:30 – 1:30.

Art Show:

See the amazing works and awards of the KCOA Artist Workshop on June 28, starting at 10:00am. Meet and

speak with the artists and instructor; Violet Berry. Violet’s husband, Patrick began an Oil Painting Class for

talented people who loved art, but never continued after High School. When Patrick passed away 15 years ago,

Violet decided to continue the class and is so happy she did! She has met so many wonderful and talented people.

If you are interested in joining, they would love to have you! This class is not a beginners class or social

gathering, but rather for people who want to learn in a relaxing, creative atmosphere. Please see Violet if you

have any questions.

such as, SNAP and fuel assistance and some help with Medicare and referrals. Please introduce

is closed with a scheduled appointment, or she may be out on a home visit or attending a

resource meeting. She is already a busy and popular woman! At this time Darlene is working

like some one on one time.
