Tell Your Personal Story on Camera
with John Henkel
In-person
It's time to tell your story. Many of us have verbal or written histories of our families. Our parents' generation put their stories on audio or video recordings.
This is an opportunity to tell your story on camera for ten to sixty minutes. In the end, you'll have a copy to share with family.
Recording options include you alone, or you with John or someone else of your choosing. John will work out the details with you before your session.
Date: Mondays, October 26, 2026 through February 1, 2027
The participants will email or call John Henkel to arrange a time that is convenient for both parties.
Time: TBD
Location: TBD
John Henkel is the Gold LEAF curriculum chair, a board member, and a nurse.

The Book Discussion Group continues a long Gold LEAF tradition and will meet three times during the fall/winter term to discuss works of fiction and non-fiction. Our sessions are open and casual, yet stimulating and informative, allowing us to learn from one another. All meetings will be held at Orange Cat Cafe in Farmington if weather permits safe driving. If the weather is bad, we will meet online.
The group meets on the second Tuesday of each month, except December.

Cathy Wimett and Nadine Marchand organize the book discussions. Any group member is welcome to facilitate a session. Both newcomers and past participants are encouraged to join us for this Fall/Winter Term.
Are the Wolves Back?
with Deb Stahler
In-person
Will the wolves return in Louise Penny's latest book, "Miss Wolcott's Ghost" (to be published on October 20th)? We don't know, but we think there is a chance that some wolfish villains may reappear. Join us to follow the clues and unravel the threads that lead Armand Gamache and company through Penny's latest mystery, which might offer several opportunities to join the villagers at the bistro.
