Training with Tara
Taft Library’s very own Tara Windsor will host a fitness program on Tuesday, April 9th at 7pm. Ready to get in shape and lose weight? Then let’s talk with Tara about achievable fitness plans. Tara will host an open discussion followed by a Q & A. Then she’ll demonstrate some fitness and boxing moves followed by a mini fitness class. Please wear appropriate clothing. Registration is required as space is limited.
Bridging Two Worlds, An Afternoon of Mediumship with Ellen Henry
Join medium Ellen Henry on Saturday, April 20th at 1pm for this fascinating program. A medium is someone who receives communication from the souls of those who have moved on to the next chapter and delivers those messages to their loved ones here in the physical world. In this program, Ellen will begin with a discussion of what mediumship is, how it differs from a psychic reading, and how she receives messages. Then share in the experience as she performs a mediumship demonstration for the group. Please Note: Attendance at a demonstration does not guarantee that you will receive a reading. Registration required. Please visit www.taftpubliclibrary.org and click on the Library Event Calendar & Registration link near the top of the web page to register.
