Community Calendar

Nine Irish Brothers Traditional Irish Pub hosts a community trad session Wednesday evenings at seven pm. Trad sessions--short for traditional Irish sessions, are a community-led participatory event in which local musicians bring their instruments and play traditional Irish music. Musicians who play Irish instruments or who are striving to learn are welcome to join in, and all members of the community are welcome to enjoy the music and ambiance.

Help save lives by donating blood at an American Red Cross Blood Drive. Blood donations are critically needed to support patients undergoing surgery, receiving cancer treatment, recovering from injuries, and facing other medical emergencies. Every donation can make a lifesaving difference for those in need. As a special thank-you, donors who give blood in August will receive a $20 Amazon Gift Card. Appointments are encouraged and can be scheduled by visiting RedCrossBlood.org using sponsor code NorthendCCenter or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

What is Contra Dance?
Contra dance is a form of folk dancing made up of long lines of couples. A caller leads the dance, teaching the steps and calling out moves. It's great fun for all ages.
Unlike some other social dances, contra is a group activity. Over the course of each dance, you interact with everyone in your contra line. Your partner is like a teammate, moving with you up and down the line.
