Meet Your Groton Neighbors
A Conversation and Afternoon Tea
with
Carol Canner and Elizabeth Goldring
Wednesday, February 24, 2021, 4-5:15 p.m.
Pull up a chair, pour a cup of tea and get to know one of your neighbors through
the art of good, old fashioned conversation-- Zoom style.
Our members have extraordinary life stories to tell. We get to know one another best by listening to and understanding how a person’s life experiences help to define the paths they have chosen and the values and commitments they most cherish. In this conversation, we have the good fortune to meet two accomplished artists, Carol and Elizabeth, who will speak together about how their backgrounds formed and influenced their work, their respective journeys to live in Groton, the inspiration for their artistic endeavors, and their enduring friendship. See their Bios below.
We will invite you to join in with your questions and comments.
Limit of 25 participants.
Please RSVP to Diane Hewitt, 978-448-6228 or diane.hewitt@gmail.com or register here on the Groton Neighbors website.
