In June we car-pooled to the Bennington Monument for a tour, and lunched at Talley's Restaurant.
The Council on Aging sent a representative to give a talk and show slides on dental care and again on emergency preparation.
In July we took our only bus trip to St. Johnsbury to visit the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium and lunched nearby at the Black Bear Tavern.
The same month, we also car-pooled to the Bennington Museum to see the paintings of Rockwell Kent to Norman Rockwell; the exhibit celebrating the Arlington community from 1920-1960.
In December, we moved into new quarters at the Arlington Community House and we are very pleased with the new set-up. We also took another trip to the Bennington Museum for their Festival of Trees exhibit. Everything was beautifully decorated and we had our brown bag lunches in their dining room and the museum provided us with tea and coffee.
We finished up the year with our annual Christmas party in our new rooms with Hors D'oeuvres, punch, cake and coffee, and a surprise visit from Santa Claus, bearing gifts for all.
