Adult Social
Join Us at Bricco Trattoria
Come enjoy great food, drinks and friends at our adult social. The evening will feature a special
menu with choices for a first course, entree and dessert, and adult beverages for purchase (see
link to sample menu below). In order to reserve the appropriate space we are taking
reservations (purchase price fixe meal).
Billy Grant's Bricco Trattoria is "rustic yet upscale" Italian combines "unique, flavorful" cuisine,
including artisanal pizzas, with an "extensive" wine list, "wonderful" service and a "busy bar
scene", adding up to a "memorable dining experience" – the only downside is no reservations
for smaller parties, which can "make for long waits"; the farmhouse-inspired "true trattoria" in
Glastonbury also dishes up a dose of "fun" along with "delicious" fare, all made with "fresh
ingredients." –Zagat

Play Groups
The GNN playgroup will meet Friday mornings at 10:00am. For location, we rotate hosts every
week and the host decides where to hold the playgroup. It is held either at their house or
somewhere in the community (park, play ground, museum). If you are interested in joining
other moms, please contact Lindsay Jankowski at [email protected]. Play groups are a
wonderful way for new and experienced moms to meet and enjoy adult company while their
young ones play.

Book Club
At our next meeting we will be discussing “The Boy in the Suitcase” by Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete
Friis. Nina Borg, a Red Cross nurse, wife, and mother of two, is a compulsive do-gooder who can't say
no when someone asks for help—even when she knows better. When her estranged friend Karin leaves
her a key to a public locker in the Copenhagen train station, Nina gets suckered into her most dangerous
project yet. Inside the locker is a suitcase, and inside the suitcase is a three-year-old boy: naked and
drugged, but alive.
Is the boy a victim of child trafficking? Can he be turned over to authorities, or will they only return him
to whoever sold him? When Karin is discovered brutally murdered, Nina realizes that her life and the
boy's are in jeopardy, too. In an increasingly desperate trek across Denmark, Nina tries to figure out who
the boy is, where he belongs, and who exactly is trying to hunt him down.
Come join us to discuss!

Helping Hands
It’s during difficult times when neighbors can rally together to help brighten someone’s day and
give true meaning to the Helping Hands Committee. If you know a Newcomers’ and Neighbors’
family who has had a baby, has suffered an illness, has had a death in the family, or simply
could use a helping hand, please call or e-mail so we can organize a meal or flower arrangement
for them. We rely on other member families to inform us when a helping hand is needed.
Thank you.
