And It's September
September is here, school is starting, the days are shorter, and, hopefully, the weather will be cooler. Fall activities will be starting up at the Fosston Community Library Arts Center.
Music lessons will be resuming throughout the month. Some of the instructors have only a limited number of openings for new students, so I suggest you contact them directly. Here is the contact information:
Eric Olson (guitar, bass and drums) -
pastorericolson@gmail.com or 218-694-2687;
Jeff Menten, member of American String Teachers Association, (violin, viola, cello, mandolin, upright bass) 218-255-5218 or
jeffmentenmusic@hotmail.com; Orland Aspen (voice) - musicman56@gvtel.com or 435-6791;
Kay Carlsen (piano) - aagekay@gvtel.com or 435-6710; Lora Lee Saeter (piano)saeter@gvtel.com or 435-1422.
If you are an aspiring writer, there are a couple opportunities for you this month. On Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 6:30 p.m. there will be a free poetry worship led by Minnesota poet and teacher, Becca Barniski. She teaches poetry, works as a freelance writer, and is a consultant in arts education for a number of schools, arts organizations and public agencies across the upper Midwest. This event is supported by Legacy Amendment funds.
After taking a break during the months of July and August, the library writers’ group will meet on Thursday, Sept. 26, at 7:30 p.m. New members are always welcome.
Book club will also resume, meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 7 p.m. The book for this month is Me Before You. I haven’t read it yet, but according to the information I got it tells the story of two very different characters: Lou, a small-town girl caught between dead-end jobs, and Will, a successful businessman who becomes wheelchair bound following an accident.
Looking ahead to October, the used book sale is coming up. Donations of books, CD’s, and DVDs can be brought to the library. Donate some now so you can shop in October.
Also coming up in October, The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra will be performing on Friday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. With violin, bass, guitar and drums, this should be an entertaining performance, so mark your calendar now.
