Many teens and young adults are challenged (aka required) to read "the classics" in high school or college literature courses. Yet others either didn't have those courses, never took those electives or just flat out "didn't want" to read these books at that point in their lives. As we grow older and (hopefully) wiser, we now begin to ask did we miss something? Or if you did read the classics, is there something more now that I'm at a different life stage? Are you an avid reader who likes …

Hello and welcome! A new concert band is forming in the community and you're invited! This ensemble will be performing from the concert band literature, like works from Holst, Clifton Williams, Copland, and maybe some Eric Whitacre. The purpose of this group is to rekindle (or keep alive) our love and passion for expressing ourselves and experiencing the peace that music gives, so anyone can join. The music will be at the level of grade 4 and 5, which means something like "Hoedown" by Copland, o …
This book club is for people who rushed through those required novels while in school and want to read them again with genuine interest this time. Rich adult-life experiences are sure to alter the way we relate and interpret these timeless tales. As a new group I am open to preferred dates to meet, I have a community room in my condo building that can be reserved for our meetings. I can provide snacks and we can each bring our beverage of choice.

I've lived in Palm Harbor for 2 years and noticed that there is not a book club. I missed the group I had up north so I decided to start my own. This group is designed to be social as well as to discuss books. Book selection will occur at the end of our gatherings and anyone can suggest a title. That way, we all get experience great books that we otherwise may have overlooked. Join this group if you love to read and also would like to meet more people who share common interests.
