NEWSFLASH! Men's BBQ postponed due to Hurricane!

Saturday's Men's BBQ in Edgewood Park has been moved to September 12.

We have a weather situation tomorrow. In case you haven't heard there is a tropical depression approaching. We will move the "End of the Summer" BBQ and change it to a "Welcome to Fall" BBQ.

On the bright side that frees everyone up to help Matt and Hannah load their moving truck as they prepare to move into their new house! Just a load, no unload as far as I know. 10 am, 79 Maple Street. Shouldn't be too wet the truck will be backed up right to the porch! WOOOOHOOO helping Matt and Hannah move!

Again, no picnic due to Hurricane!

Picnic LOCATION CHANGED

"Following Directions Carefully Picnic" Tonight (8/20) @ 6pm @ EDGEWOOD PARK

Because of Shakespeare in the Park at Edgerton Park tonight, tonight's picnic will, in fact, be held at EDGEWOOD Park.

"Isn't that the park Todd said the picnic would NOT be at on Sunday?" you ask? Why, yes, you are correct. But that was then, this is now: Now, the picnic will be at EDGEWOOD Park, on the lawn along Edgewood Avenue at 6pm.

Edgewood. That's right, Edgewood.

Bring a picnic dinner. Come hang out. It'll be fun.

At Edgewood. EDGEWOOD Park.

Film Screening: More Than Walking (8/13)

Join us this Thursday (8/13), from 7:30-9:00 pm at 389 Norton Pkwy (a red house on the corner, follow the signs) for a screening of ECVer Jonathan Sigworth's just-completed documentary, More Than Walking. Afterwards there will be a Q&A session with Jonathan.

Some notes from Jonathan on the film:

People in wheelchairs are often fixed on the goal of walking again; but the film's point is that there are more important goals in life than just walking. In the movie he tells his story and the fascinating stories of four Indian quadriplegics. They are Riya, a 14-year-old injured in a diving accident at school; Rahul, 23, who was injured defending his uncle from a drunkard; Krishnan, 46, a resident at the military rehab center in Pune; and Navin, 38, who is starting a school for street children in Delhi.

If you can't make it this Thursday, there will be a second showing and Q&A on August 31, 7pm at The Space (295 Treadwell St. Hamden, CT 06517, www.thespace.tk). That will be a $10 ticket (this Thursday, of course, is free).
