Life at Simsbury High School, Drop-In Book Club, and Free Language Classes

Good morning Simsbury! After a brief hiatus from the Daily 5 during Hurricane Sandy, the election, and then a nor'easter, we're back! Today is Tuesday, November 13, 2012 and there are 48 days left in the year.

Today's Weather: Showers likely this morning, mostly cloudy with a high in the low 50's, according to the National Weather Service daily forecast.

Tonight: Slight chance of showers this evening. Otherwise mostly clear skies overnight with a low around 30 degrees.

There's always room for improvement, and the Simsbury Public Library English Conversation Group for adults aims to help anyone wishing to improve their spoken English. Classes will be held Tuesday mornings from 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. in the Friends Café on the upper level of the Library. Contact Marty at (860) 217-0635 or email her at mallison1@cinci.rr.com or Library Director Susan Bullock at 860-658-7663 x2103 or sbullock@simsburylibrary.info for more information.

The Drop-In Book Club is meeting at the Simsbury Free Library today at 11:15 a.m. This week the club will discuss the book Greater Journey: Americans in Paris by David McCullough.

It's time for the Simsbury Retired Men's Luncheon and speaker program. Today's lunch will be followed by a talk by Neil Sullivan on "Life at Simsbury High School." The Simsbury Retired Men's Luncheon program meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from September through May in the fellowship hall (Palmer Hall) on the lower level of the First Church of Christ.
