Senior Game Days
East Greenwich Seniors are meeting for some social time and playing games. They have been playing a large variety of games, including card games, board games, tile games, and other standards.
You are welcome to bring a game and see who would like to play it with you or come join in games with others. Come out to meet new friends or reacquaint yourself with someone from the past at this casual friendly get-together.
Aug. Game Days: Aug. 14 and 28. September Game Days: Sept. 11 and 25.
These Game Days are being held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Location is at the Evangelical United Methodist Church at 14 W. Cohawkin Road in Clarksboro.
There is an elevator available, and the church encourages it to be used because there are steps down to the game room.

Calling all Senior creatives and artists!
It’s time to share your passion with fellow creatives from East Greenwich. The EG Senior Art Club welcomes all seniors who enjoy drawing, painting, crafting, needlework, beading, sculpture, mosaics, miniatures, quilting, stained glass and more.
We meet every Monday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the EU Methodist Church at 14W Cohawkin Road.
If you are just getting started in your “art journey” this is a great opportunity to learn from other members. Our group consists of friendly, sharing people.
Bring your supplies. No fees. No formal instruction given; however, the members are very happy and willing to share their knowledge and expertise.
There are tables, chairs, water and rest rooms. Enjoy meeting “like-minded” people and sharing your art journey. Beginners are welcome!
