Qigong Class @ the Library

Donna Bunte of Donna Bunte Whole Health will teach a qigong class at Perrot Library on Monday, November 2nd, from 9:15 to 10:15 am in the Program Room, Radcliffe Building.

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 October Book Discussion: “A Place of Execution”

The Perrot P.I.s Mystery Book Discussion Group invites you to a discussion of A Place of Execution, by Val McDermid, on Monday, October 26, 2026, at 7 pm in our Program Room, Radcliffe Building. This is a drop-in program; registration is not required.

On a freezing day in December 1963, Alison Carter vanishes from her rural village, an insular community that distrusts the outside world. For the young George Bennett, a newly promoted inspector, it is the beginning of his most difficult and harrowing case–a suspected murder with no body, an investigation with more dead ends and closed faces than he’d have found in the anonymity of the inner city, and an outcome that reverberates through the years.
