As you’ll read below, member support of Founders Hall is on the rise, which is why we can offer you all these classes, seminars and social events in November and throughout the holiday season. As you read about our holiday events, please note the sign-up dates, which will help us with our planning. As the holidays approach, I have a request. Please refrain from organizing group gifts for your instructors. As much as we appreciate your good intentions, group gifts can put unwelcome pressure on those who are unable to participate. Thank you for understanding. Kick off your holiday season by bringing friends and family to jingle and mingle at our Wreath Festival. Throughout this four-day extravaganza, over 100 wreaths will deck our Hall, and the library/living room will be transformed into a fabulous gift boutique. The festival happens just once every two years, so don’t miss this fun way to support Founders Hall. Read more on page 8. As we celebrate our 12th anniversary, I’m grateful for the wonderful members, the amazing staff and the terrific foresight of the Couris and Goldstones who together have made Founders Hall such a treasure. Best wishes to all of you for a bountiful season and Happy Thanksgiving. SEMINARS DEVELOPMENT Thank you! Response to our September appeal has been terrific, bringing in over $30,000 since Sept. 1. Equally important, the percentage of active members supporting Founders Hall has increased to 60% as of Oct. 15. As you know, Founders Hall relies on the people who use it and love it to support it. If you are among the 60%, thank you. If you have not yet made a donation, it’s not too late! Send in a donation by December 31 so we can list you among our cherished donors. Legacy of Rome Journey to Health Thursday, Nov. 6 Friday, Nov. 7 1 pm 1 pm If you’re interested in the history of ancient Rome, come hear author William McEachern. His debut novel, Casting Lots, is a historically and biblicallybased epic adventure that spans ancient Rome and Greece. He will narrate what you would see and hear as you walked the streets of ancient Rome, explain the Latin roots of our English language, describe how our government is derived from Roman models, and recount other ways that Rome enriches our lives today. As part of National Diabetes Awareness Month, Susan Laub, physical therapist at Laurel Ridge Health Care Center, will talk about making healthy choices and behaviors on your “journey to health.” She will give you valuable information about making smart food choices, being active, signs and symptoms of diabetes and heart disease, and how to avoid or reduce your risk of being diagnosed with these diseases. Founders Hall is a donor-supported education and recreation center open, without charge, to individuals 60 years of age or older in the Ridgefield area. Founders Hall was built in 2002 by Founders Hall Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit partnership of the Couri and Goldstone families. The foundation operates Founders Hall with financial support from the families as well as from its members, civic-minded corporations, foundations and individuals.
