Mystery Lovers Group
11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Fourth Wednesday of the Month
Are you a fan of whodunits, thrillers, or classic detective fiction? The Mystery Lovers group is a welcoming space for anyone who enjoys reading, discussing, and even writing mysteries. We bring a variety of interests to the table—some of us are devoted to golden-age detective stories, while others prefer modern psychological thrillers or police procedurals.
Our discussions often center around favorite mystery writers and what makes their storytelling compelling. We explore themes, character development, and the art of crafting a satisfying twist. Occasionally, members may be inspired to share their own novel ideas or even excerpts of their writing for feedback in a supportive environment. Whether you’re a lifelong mystery reader, an aspiring author, or just curious, join us for engaging conversations and a shared love of the genre!
Village members, for further members-only details and to register, log into your member account and visit the Calendar page or contact the office.

Living More Lightly
2026-01-29 14:00 - 15:30
Even when our homes aren’t cluttered, our belongings can quietly weigh on us—requiring care, decisions, and emotional energy. Many of us begin to feel constrained not by mess, but by the sheer responsibility of what we own.
This interactive, non-judgmental workshop explores how to live more lightly by making intentional choices about what we own. You’ll gain practical strategies for deciding what to keep, what to let go of, and how to move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
The Workshop is being moved to Zoom due to weather. A link will be sent to Members who are registered.
