MESSAGE FROM GRACE
Fall is here, and thanks to your ongoing support, a full complement of classes is underway. This is a great time
to acknowledge and thank our wonderful instructors who work so hard to enrich your lives. This fall, there are also
several important seminars and some fun social events, including our annual autumn party. In conjunction with the
town’s “Big Read” of The Great Gatsby, our “Swanky Speakeasy Soiree” will celebrate the Jazz Age. We hope you’ll
join the fun.
Now I have a few things to ask of you:
•
Donations: Our fall campaign is underway, and by now you should have received our appeal either in class or
by mail. Please respond as generously as you can. Your support drives our programming, and every donation
makes a difference. Thank you for caring enough to support Founders Hall.
•
Newsletter: As you can see, the daily calender runs on five pages of this newsletter. So, we’re taking an informal
poll: Do you use this daily calendar? Do you know that you can find a daily listing on our website, in the NewsTimes and at our front desk? Please let the front desk know if you rely on this monthly, printed calendar listing.
•
Parking: As you know, parking can be tight. Please park only in designated spots so fire lanes remain open. And,
please carpool if you can. That’s the best way to ease parking and tension!

Bewildered by the Ballot?
Presented by Ridgefield League of
Women Voters
Thurs., Oct. 23
3 pm
The November ballot will be
chock full of questions. Seven
questions concerning changes to
the Town Charter will be explained

constitutional amendment on
voting restrictions. Q & A will
follow. Come and
be an informed
voter before you
go to the polls.
Founders Hall is a donor-supported education and recreation center open, without charge, to individuals 60 years of age or older in the Ridgefield

Want to join a quick, fun, fall

You bring helping hands and a
trowel. Many hands will make it
easy, and come spring, the gardens
will be gorgeous.
The Fashion Tea was a

you to Closet Curator Susan
