HAPPY NEW YEAR!
To those of you born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995 or 2007, this is your year. Make it count. And don’t listen to what the dragon year people tell you. The pig is a symbol of optimism, enthusiasm and the value of hard work.

SING ALONG WITH MARY AND BERT
Can’t decide if this will be fun or torture: The Schimmel Center at Pace will host a sing-along screening of Mary Poppins – the 1964 version – at 4 on Sunday, Feb. 10. Tickets are $20. Pre-Screening activities begin at 3, which include games, prizes and a meet-and-greet with local actors playing Mary Poppins and Bert. This movie won five Academy Awards!! (It was a different era.)
