Qigong Class @ the Library
Donna Bunte of Donna Bunte Whole Health will teach a qigong class at Perrot Library on Monday, December 1st, from 9:15 to 10:15 am in the Program Room, Radcliffe Children’s Library.
Qigong is a form of meditation in motion that is at least 2,000 years old. It is a very calming routine used to increase mindfulness, and it is also used for building strength, balance, flexibility, and resiliency. The practice of qigong can be done standing or sitting and can be practiced by almost anyone young or old.
Donna has been practicing Chinese medicine since 1996 when she graduated from Chinese medical school in New York City and became a licensed acupuncturist in New York and Connecticut. Qigong and tai chi were her first introduction to Chinese medicine and energy exercises in 1980 in New York City, years before she studied Chinese medicine. Donna has studied with a variety of teachers, including Robert Peng and Daisy Lee, and began teaching qigong in Greenwich in 2017. She has taught classes locally since then, as well as online during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Perrot P.I.s Book Group Discuss “The Dry,” by Jane Harper
Join Perrot P.I.s, our mystery book group, on Monday, December 1, at 7 pm in our Program Room, Radcliffe Building, Perrot Memorial Library, for a discussion of Jane Harper’s The Dry. You don’t need to be a member to join us. Open to all.
A small town hides big secrets in The Dry, an atmospheric, page-turning debut mystery by award-winning author Jane Harper. After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke’s steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more than one person knows they didn’t tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead. Amid the worst drought in a century, Falk and the local detective question what really happened to Luke. As Falk reluctantly investigates to see if there’s more to Luke’s death than there seems to be, long-buried mysteries resurface, as do the lies that have haunted them. And Falk will find that small towns have always hidden big secrets.
This is a drop-in program; registration is not required.
