Five Things: Talking With Teens, Food Cupboard

Thanks for a great season, Avenger Football: The EGHS Avengers played in the Division III Super Bowl against Middletown Islanders yesterday, and lost 33-21.

Talking With Your Teens: Please join us for "Talking With Your Teens," a discussion with the Teen Leadership Consortium about social concerns, stressors and relationships with peers and parents. This is a great opportunity to find out what really goes on in those teenage brains! We’re meeting in the auditorium at St. Luke’s from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m.

EG Food Cupboard needs donations: People are hungry all year round, Chris and Steve Bartlett of the Food Cupboard remind us. Items especially needed are jars of jelly, baked beans, canned fruit, tuna, peanut butter, and cereals. The food cupboard is housed at St. Luke’s Church. You can leave food there during normal business hours.

Open Jam Night: The Greenwich Hotel’s Open Jam session takes place every Monday night. All musicians are welcome and even non-musicians with rhythm can join in on the percussion instruments. This is Open Mic with a twist. It is a more relaxed format. You are encouraged to jump in and start playing. This makes for an interesting and unique night of music. A full PA set up with mics, cords, bass amp, electronic drum kit, bongos, djembe and other percussion instruments are available.

Post your Events and Announcements on EG Patch: If you have something you’d like to see on the EG Patch calendar, upload it by clicking here and finding the “Add an Event” tab on the right. The Events Calendar is my go-to spot for the daily Five Things column. If you want to be featured in Five Things, make sure you post your items on the calendar!
