September at the Arts Center
Even though it’s 21 years since my youngest child graduated from high school September is still exciting. It’s a new beginning, as the school year starts with all its possibilities. The Fosston Community Library Arts Center is also gearing up for the coming season.
On Sunday, Sept 11, the FCLAA music instructors will host a music lesson sign-up open house from 6-8 p.m. Instructors Orland Aspen, Kay Carlsen, Lora Lee Saeter, Jeffry Menten and Eric Olson will be offering vocal, piano, violin, viola, cello, mandolin, guitar, bass guitar and drum lessons for students of all ages. Wow!
In addition, we are showcasing our new sound lab and recording studio on Thursday, September 14, from 6-8 p.m. Come and see what amazing new things you can learn and do with instructor Eric Olson. This is a double wow!
Another new opportunity at the Fosston Library is the Books and Bonbons book club. The group will meet monthly to discuss the current book and enjoy a delicious dessert. The first meeting is on Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. The book for September is A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly. You’d better reserve your copy ASAP so you can have it read by the 13th.
The Fosston Writer’s group will resume meeting on Thursday, September 22. This informal group provides the opportunity of aspiring writers to share their ideas and work with other like-minded people. Whether your goal is publication, family history or simply the enjoyment of getting your thoughts on paper - you’re welcome to come and join the group. Contact Alison Opdal (218-289-4969) for more information.
Speaking for family history, if you’ve been meaning to start some research on that topic, you’ll want to attend the introduction to genealogy class at the Fosston Library on Thursday, Sept. 8, at 7 p.m. Instructor is Robin Shimpa of McIntosh.
Sunday, September 11, is Grandparent Day. To celebrate, the library is encouraging grandparents to bring their grandchildren to the library during the week of Sept. 6-10. Those who do can enter a prize drawing. Family Fun Time, which is held every Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.. will feature Bingo for grandparents and grandchildren on Wednesday, Sept. 7, and for story time on Friday, Sept. 9, grandparents are invited to bring their preschool-aged grandchildren to share stories, milk, cookies and coffee for the grandparents.
