welcome to another episode of what's going on my name is dolores the dial and the host is is jeanette crenshaw who has bundles of news and things to report a great interest to us so i would just like to let you know that we have another guest next week but this week it's the group of jeanette and i so without further ado i'd like to say good morning to you jeanette good morning to you and bless us with your new it's spring it's spring well there's certainly a lot going on around belmont as well as at the senior center but i think one of the most important things is what i recently took place candidates night and  recorded the thing so here are the replay times that you can see it whenever you like you can turn into for candidates tonight at seven thirty pm excuse me at eight thirty pm on saturday and sunday this saturday and sunday right away but then it will a tune in on channels eight twenty eight at ten p m on saturday ten a m sunday and two p m wednesday basically just sit there in front of the dial all the good things that come out from the media center including reviewing including candidate interviews by answer nation now a lot of our town newspaper and patrick ball also interview them those running for school committee and library positions and that would be at seven p m on ninety six slash thirty our choices at seven p m saturday and sunday also on channels eight twenty eight at ten thirty a m and eight thirty p m on saturday six p m sunday and two thirty p tuesday anyhow it's all in your town paper this week ok right under the thing that says belmont media center program schedule for the whole week so that all of the things that are re studio welcome is the first one that's and again that you can see all about that and i count paper on page twenty seven and anyway i hope you can take in some of these of those international films yes  definitely international films and it runs from monday march twenty first to do that program called welcome through april twenty fifth so it's celebrating the tenth anniversary series with seven international films in conjunction with one book one belmont now we're going to tie that together they  a way which is a town wide program sponsored by the public library all screenings feature post film discussions or entertainment the series culminates in a celebration in may in which belmont world film will bestow its citizen of the world award so that sounds very interesting and does read getting us out of our little shell exactly and thinking you know about the big picture and knowing other people and their customs their lives their thoughts sounds like a good idea it sure does so and the third big thing in belmont going on now it is indeed to do with about the belmont reading one the same book one book one belmont and stephen p zero author of dark tide the great boston molasses flood of one nine hundred nineteen will speak at seven p m on thursday march twenty fourth at the beach st center that should be interesting to an interesting piece of history absolutely the book the which puts a human face on one of boston's most dramatic disasters is the featured title of one book one belmont so the talk along with a tour of the north and that the author is leading on april second are the final events of a month of activities focusing on the book probably out will describe how he researched and wrote the book then answer questions and signed copies of his book ld they should i don't know i haven't been there recently but they must i can't believe i haven't picked up a copy and so forth so i learned about it as a child and company on the day that it happened and so out of trapped of not being able to leave work in the usual manner in order to take the usual route so anyway a lot of people have their memories of that time so that march twenty fourth be street right at seven pm it's a thursday seven pm should one call and make a t by the way get i'm sure you all if you get the paper and read something that was right more public right on the front we talked last week about the end steiner and indeed it was sold at auction and our own jeff hansel contributed to this article we've got a nice goal of circular influence and sharing of information between the media center the town newspaper and the beach street center now of course the beach street center does double duty it is the senior center all day long you know eight to four and then other things can be scheduled there i should have emphasized that more almost every week because you can call call if you want to and i remember you mentioning this oh a reception of some sort of committee thing and as you're saying it like this election candidates  y can be schedule weekends and nights and so forth so the facility is a wonderful and would be it's a great place to host any number of activities and i  happen and i go down a lot now because i sometimes help with english second language and so forth and he has an i a group that meets that he's going to be chairing and we just love to go because of all the music programs you know so that's really great ok something i haven't mentioned much about before and this would be a good week to do it because so many of you know what do you do is the senior center well you know get a hold of one of these i go find out but various senior center trips i have friends who go to almost every trip that comes along when this is you know it's been such a long winter you know that people are probably enthused about the idea of getting out and doing something different for a change absolutely so for example tuesday april twenty sixth what a strange name here estrogen and tonic ed jellico is ballroom in middleton mass y horne don't miss her if you're gonna love or meal choice and it gives it so forth so gateway tours is providing the bus to get there and then they'll be a lovely dinner of the boston bakes crowd or yankee pot roast and then the whole show and that's only sixty nine dollars which is great from the senior center to coming back again then wednesday may eleventh the bermuda avenue try you call it the newport playhouse in newport rhode island that's a nice place to get down an extensive bof a luncheon provided and after lunch you can sit and relax for a performance of an outrageous comedy about two widows whose daughter have moved them into a las vegas condo the ladies meet a gentleman and then the fun begins after the show back to your original table and you'll have a captivating cabaret anyone who went last year to this day trip will tell you what a wonderful day it was cost to seventy two dollars and the check is payable to fox stores and how you can get all the information you need right out of the senior notes then wednesday may twenty fifth through thursday may twenty sixth man to resort in kennebunkport maine this two day one night offers in addition to the many and many amenities a tour kennebunkport a visit to stone wall kitchen a tour and tasting at red brewery before you weave your way back and top it all off with lobster at the famous foster's downey's clambake restaurant and so cost is two hundred fifty nine dollars for the transportation and the double room and for a double or triple room and a fifty dollar deposit so forth and does that include the meals or does it say well it includes the me a lot of described at least i think i think it's probably everything  oh one more here the red sox orioles game in washington d c on monday july eighteenth where except in deposits now for the above trip in order to avoid consulate cancellations due to overbooking trip includes two breakfasts and reserved seating at the game next day we travel to washington d c for sightseeing at the capital mall world war two and f d r memorials the air and space museum and many other c attractions wow now that that's a good deal so cost is two sixty nine for a triple to seventy nine for double and that that's everything so you can't remember all of th minutia that i described but i think i was trying to day to give a flavor of some of the wonderful things that are available for those who do this and well i just don't go to the senior center i think some people who are you know over fifty five don't want to admit that they could go in there but this is a lively place and lively people it's wonderful ok and then i would like to mention some things again that don't get mentioned we have a lot going in the computer room there you can take computer fundamentals mondays and wednesdays at eleven o'clock this started march fourteenth learn all the basics working with windows the whole bit and so forth and it gives all the dates and so forth from march fourteenth on through april sixth twenty five dollars for eight sessions digital camera use i do not want your digital camera because i am shy of figuring how to use it but if i ever do do it like everyone else in the civilized world mondays and wednesdays by appointment one on one instruction and using the digital camera how to get the most out of it how to use the menu button and its surrounding arrows and set up and i think you're almost ready to go to that and yeah i'm sort of working i'm so tired of being embarrassed by my grandchildren who know how to do all those things they can't believe when i show up with a regular camera one on one computer tutoring to say that that's really good the beech tree center now office offers formal one on one computer tutoring monday through friday ok one hour appointments are available this is the perfect opportunity to ask specific questions watch a demonstration or review topics which you have learned in class sign up at the front desk for an appointment or by calling  the gives a number six one seven nine nine three two nine seven zero donations to the belmont council aging will be excepted recommended donation is ten dollars for a private one hour session so that's about computers and then of course is always the fitness classes excellent i have heard nothing but rave reviews i love to go take a peek and watch people doing those things i haven't signed up yet but this tight cheap classes the wednesday class started march sixteenth so it's going to go on for some eight sessions and strength and flexibility just starting march twenty first and so forth chair yoga started march twenty third eight sessions coming up and line dancing april twenty first eight sessions so this that's that's a lot of things that go on and you go in u t twenty thirty people doing all of these things and the music's going very well and let's not for get too in jacked the notion of getting prepared to go out and vote get us prepared well next month april fourth april fourth is election day so that's another good reason to view what jeanette was telling us about meet the candidates and get prepared to think about whom you would like to elect to office on april fourth and get out there and do it here is the picture that also comes with the world comes to belmont about the tenth anniversary  it shows up a little bit so get a copy of the newspaper get a copy of the town paper if you have the town paper and you have the senior note you are all set for any kind of activity you would like  yourself so that is the news on my end here that you have anything for and i don't actually i think you've given a pretty complete picture of  activities there are around and and i encourage everybody to take advantage of the improved weather to begin to make plans for these much less dreary days absolutely and next week tom younger i counted been straighter is our guest and so forth and then we will have the next week we have someone lined up as well so that's it for this week once again it's a pleasure to be with you and we'll see you next week
