Last call to sign up TODAY for dinner this Friday!

FRI, 2/22   Featured Event!  Dinner & Tales of Love

Enjoy an evening of stories of love of all kinds – friendship to romance – as told by professional storyteller Kathy Santopietro Weddel. We partner with the Nederland Community Library in hosting this special occasion in this month of love. Our menu is Pesto Chicken Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, WW Baguette, Italian Salad, and Lemon/Raspberry Tart. Replacing the previous bring-your-own wine system, we will offer wine by the glass ($5) as selected by a volunteer committee for pairing with the menu. We will also sell boxes of Tungsten Toffee ($10) as a fundraiser for our nonprofit. 5:00pm doors open for social, 5:30pm meal served. Please RSVP by end of day Wednesday via email, Meetup, or phone 303-258-0799. $10 adults under age 60 or $5 requested contribution 60+.

 

TUE, 2/26  Butterfly Pavilion & Lunch

 

Escape for a couple of hours to the warm, moist climate of the tropics. Frolic with 1,600 free-flying butterflies in Wings of the Tropics, hold the famous Rosie the tarantula in the Crawl-A-See-Em, explore the wonder of coral reefs and other ocean invertebrates in Water’s Edge, witness the incredible punch of the mantis shrimp in Invertebrate World, and more. On Tuesday, February 26, carpools depart the Nederland Community Center at 9:30am for the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster. After our visit to this invertebrate zoo, we will enjoy lunch at a nearby affordable restaurant. Cost is $9.50 age 65+, $11.50 under age 65, plus lunch. Sign up online at Meetup, email, or call 303-258-0799, and let us know if you can drive carpool or require a ride.

 

THU, 2/28 – SUN, 3/3  Boulder International Film Festival

 

A world of thoughts, imaginings, and challenges await us each year at the popular Boulder International Film Festival (BIFF). We are fortunate to receive from the organizers a $560 gift of four tickets to each of ten films, selected by them. The descriptions of the ten films is attached as a PDF (or if you prefer to click from a website instead of an email, it is also at www.NederlandAreaSeniors.org as an attachment at the bottom of the Events page). 

Please contact us by Monday, 2/25, 5pm, at 303-258-0799 or NederlandAreaSeniors@nullgmail.com to be considered for our lottery to give away these tickets. In your message, please indicate whether you are over age 65 and/or low-income and/or a member of NAS/MPL (all of these are not required to apply, they just get priority), your name and contact information, and list which specific film tickets from our list that you want and are available to use. We will notify those who win tickets by Tuesday, February 26, for pickup at the NEderland Community Center between Wednesday and Saturday. Printed Program Guides are available at mountain community centers, libraries, and coffee shops – or online where you can also purchase tickets to films you must see, visit https://biff1.com.
