SUMMARY:Sunday Speaker Series: Book Talk with Author Jacqueline Guttman on "Widowhood and Other Altered States"
DESCRIPTION:Widowhood and Other Altered States takes us on a tour of life in the 70-plus lane. Though there’s grief\, loss of loved ones and physical abilities\, and isolation\, the good news is life remains as absurd as ever. What do you do with hundreds of leftover napkins from a bereavement gathering? Or well-meaning advice you didn’t want? Or cemetery decisions? Of course there’s sadness and confusion as to how to cope alone\, but widowhood is another way of being\, and as with anything else\, we learn. How do you buy a car that accommodates arthritic knees\, but – like you – still has some pizzazz? And the dating scene is as head-shakingly comical as it is at any age (spoiler: men don’t seem to get much better). When Guttman finds herself assailed by it all\, her wry wit will show you that you can stay yourself\, even in an altered state. \nA coming of age book for those who have already aged (and their younger friends). \nFormat \n\nBrief interactive discussion of how the book came to be\nWriting humorously about grief and loss\, sometimes all you can do is laugh!\nReading – 1-2 excerpts\nQ & A\nSale of books\, inscribed if desired\, 25% discount off regular price\n\nAbout the Author \nJacqueline Guttman was a flutist and arts educator whose playing and teaching were curtailed by rheumatoid arthritis. Armed with a masters degree in arts administration\, she became a concert presenter\, arts consultant\, choir director and adjunct professor in the NYU arts administration program. Believing in the arts as a vehicle for remaining vital and engaged\, upon retirement she founded Arts for Life NJ\, which offered participatory programs for older adults in dance\, acting\, visual arts\, and music\, until COVID had other ideas. Although she had written curriculum materials\, press releases\, grant proposals and even a couple of educational resource books\, she never thought of herself as a writer. Guttman began writing regularly to relieve her stress as her husband’s health deteriorated. After he died in 2017\, casting about for something to hold her interest\, she attended a conference on arts and health\, selecting a writing workshop\, which was the beginning of a brand new direction. Not having studied writing since Freshman English\, she enrolled in a writing critique class at Sarah Lawrence College\, moving on to the Hudson Valley Writers’ Center\, where she found a wonderfully supportive group of colleagues. And so she started writing essays\, which has been part of her life for the past eight years. Her remaining musical connection is the coaching she provides for an amateur trio. Jackie is also involved in a broad spectrum of volunteer activities\, but notes that it’s the writing that is now part of her identity\, “with a bit of imposter syndrome in the mix\,” she says.

SUMMARY:Dinner & Music: New Middle Class with Opener Liam Cooley
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a delicious dinner from caterer Lori Hendricks-Bechtold and stay for music from New Milford High School student Liam Cooley and for local musicians New Middle Class! \nNEW MIDDLE CLASS \nPlayfully serious\, heartfelt and slightly bent middle class acoustic pop. The award-winning music of Barbara Borok and Mike Borok has been played on over 60 radio stations world-wide. They were grand prizewinners in the Music To Life song contest at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival\, and were featured in the Emerging Artists Showcase at the 2023 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.  Most recently\, Mike won first place in the 2024 Music for Humanity Songwriting Contest. \nNMC appeared in the both 2024 and 2025 Sherman Opry concerts at the Sherman playhouse\, and have played at two previous dinner/concert events at the JCC in Sherman.  The food was outstanding both times! \nThis concert will be the Connecticut debut of their new album\, “Prehistoric” – a collection of previously unreleased songs from the years before their 1999 self-titled album.  Something for everyone: folk\, blues\, country\, funk and rock. \n“Great melodic songs\, full of warmth\, wit and truly delightful and surprising turns of phrase.” – Fast Folk \n“This classy duo clearly knows how to make a song work on all levels…The vocals here are superb… Here are some lovely personal stories\, some social commentary… It’s easy to understand why these songs win awards.” – SoundBytes \nMusic & videos at newmiddleclass.com and streaming on all platforms. \nLiam Cooley \nLiam Cooley\, a junior at New Milford High School\, began playing acoustic guitar in 2022. Often described as an “old soul\,” he draws inspiration from singer-songwriters across generations. His musical influences stretch from the soulful sounds of the ’60s to the poetic ballads of today\, creating a distinctive blend that resonates with audiences of all ages. Liam is grateful for the JCC community\, where he gained his first on-stage experience performing at Open Mic Nights. Most recently\, he showcased his artistry by winning the NMHS Talent Show\, further cementing his place as a rising musician to watch. \nManu: \nChar Sui Grilled Chicken \nMaple Soy Glazed Cedar Plank Salmon \nSesame Noodles \nWinter Veg Stir Fry w Garlic Ginger Sauce \nFortune Cookies / Assorted Cookies

SUMMARY:Derek Piotr and Folklife
DESCRIPTION:The Derek Piotr Fieldwork Archive (fieldwork-archive.com) was established by Derek Piotr in August 2022. The Archive contains over 1\,500 audio recordings made from March 2020 onward and preserves diverse representations of folklife: ballads\, hymns\, tales\, poems\, children’s songs\, and interviews among them. The focus of this collection is on the “non-singer”: someone with no background in musical performance who can nevertheless relate a song or folkloric memory. In this lecture\, Derek will walk you through the process of journeying everywhere from the United Kingdom to Appalachia to record these songs from non-musicians\, as well as the organization and development of the Archive as a web-based repository. \nDerek Piotr is a folklorist\, researcher\, and performer whose work focuses primarily on the human voice. His work covers practices including fieldwork\, vocal performance\, preservation and autoethnography; and is primarily concerned with tenderness\, fragility\, beauty and brutality. He has collaborated with artists including Scott Solter\, Nathan Salsburg\, and Thomas Brinkmann across various disciplines. His work has been supported by The Traditional Song Forum and The Danbury Cultural Commission and has featured on Death Is Not the End and the BBC.

SUMMARY:Stacey Dutton Author Talk
DESCRIPTION:Come and listen to Stacey Dutton\, the author of The Sovereign Self\, at the Senior Center. \nAbout the Book: The Sovereign Self is more than a guide—it’s a reclamation. A manifesto for women who refuse to fade quietly into the background. A reminder that you are not finished. You are becoming—again. By the time we reach our sixties\, we’ve lived many lives. We’ve loved\, lost\, created\, and endured. We’ve been daughters\, mothers\, partners\, professionals\, caretakers—and now\, as the world grows quieter around us\, something within calls for more. This is the moment to claim your sovereignty: to live by your own design\, not by the expectations you’ve\noutgrown. In this deeply honest and empowering book\, Stacey Dutton invites women to step into a new era of wholeness. With warmth and candor\, she illuminates how the physical\, emotional\, and spiritual shifts of aging can become portals to greater power\, steadiness\, and freedom. The Sovereign Self is more than a guide—it’s a reclamation. A manifesto for women who refuse to fade quietly into the background. A reminder that the next chapter can be the most vibrant\, meaningful\, and self-defined of all.
