Monday Drop In Toddler Time Changes
We love to see everybody on Monday mornings, but we are going to change things up to try to make the experience better for everybody.
We will be doing a 10:20 Toddler Time for the first 25 toddlers and caregivers and an 11:00 Toddler Time for the next 25 toddlers and caregivers. The Copeland Room is not available every Monday morning, and by splitting up the group we hope to maintain the more individualized experience similar to our Registered Wednesday Toddler Time.
As always we appreciate your attendance and support.
Greetings From Breed’s Hill with Ted Reinstein
Thursday, October 8 @ 7:00
As America commemorates and celebrates its 250 th Anniversary, Ted Reinstein looks back. Way back. Even years before independence was actually achieved, events took place that would shape how the new nation would look back at its founding. Paul Revere’s ride? One of the most momentous nights in U.S. history. And, like any big night, there was a bill. And America’s first expense report.
Drawn from Ted Reinstein’s nearly three decades of reporting around New England, these stories and more are crafted into a just-under-an-hour talk. If you like history, enjoy learning a story behind the story, or just want a good laugh along with your 250th —“Greetings from Bunker Hill!”
