SUMMARY:Mindfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Clapp Memorial Library is once again offering a Mindfulness Meditation and Stress Reduction Awareness course. The eight-week introductory course starts on Thursday\, March 12 from 7:00pm-8:15pm and runs every Thursday through April 30. The course is designed to teach and practice mindfulness-based skills. Mindfulness meditation skills teach us to be fully present in the moment and\, when practiced regularly\, help decrease stress levels and improve general well-being and health. Skills covered in the course are gentle and free of judgment. Because each session of this course builds on the previous week\, we ask that you register only if you are able to attend all sessions. \nSign up here: https://forms.gle/mGhrxGTcd1D77ift6.  If you have any questions please email clapp@cwmars.org \nThis course will be taught by Magda Bechar\, a retired nursing professor who has taught mindfulness meditation skills to many groups\, including at the Clapp Memorial Library\, for many years. \nSessions will take place on the main library floor\, except for April 2\, which will take place in the Activity Room.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Clapp Memorial Library is once again offering a Mindfulness Meditation and Stress Reduction Awareness course. The eight-week introductory course starts on Thursday\, March 12 from 7:00pm-8:15pm and runs every Thursday through April 30. The course is designed to teach and practice mindfulness-based skills. Mindfulness meditation skills teach us to be fully present in the moment and\, when practiced regularly\, help decrease stress levels and improve general well-being and health. Skills covered in the course are gentle and free of judgment. Because each session of this course builds on the previous week\, we ask that you register only if you are able to attend all sessions. \nSign up here: https://forms.gle/mGhrxGTcd1D77ift6.  If you have any questions please email clapp@cwmars.org \nThis course will be taught by Magda Bechar\, a retired nursing professor who has taught mindfulness meditation skills to many groups\, including at the Clapp Memorial Library\, for many years. \nSessions will take place on the main library floor\, except for April 2\, which will take place in the Activity Room.

SUMMARY:An Evening of Music and Stories with The Klines
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, March 31 at 7pm at the Clapp Memorial Library for an evening of music and stories with the Klines. Michael and Carrie Kline perform country harmony duets from coal mining songs to gospel\, family songs\, front porch music\, and songs of people in nature. Listeners may find themselves dancing a waltz to “Fiddler Jones\,” the song that celebrates the role of music and old-time fiddlers in our lives and our\ncommunities\, those who play for family and friends or local dances\, or those who play for no one at all. Since returning to the Valley after 26 years away\, mostly in West Virginia\, they have been performing with upright bass player Joe Blumenthal who has learned lots of coal mining music and songs of people and nature\, as well as some traditional songs. Jim Armenti backs up the band with his precise and high-powered mandolin. As folklorist-musicians the Klines weave songs and stories\, evoking the times that really matter\, time with family and friends\, spiritual times\, wrapped in a patchwork quilt of vivid imagery.
