Entertainment by: Juke Box Boys
Attend a brief business meeting and Installation of Officers to the Calendar House Membership Association. Then, get ready for Jukebox Bingo!! There are no numbers in this game, they're gone! We have replaced the 75 numbers with 75 songs. On each bingo card there are 25 song titles and no two cards are the same. As the game begins, we play 25 seconds of a song. The player then checks their card and if the song is there, mark it off. The first one to match the bingo pattern, yells BINGO!!!! Don't worry if you don't know the name of the song - The song names are eventually shown on the video screen. It's simple, fun, and free to play. PRIZES!!!

Reiki Healing sessions with Jennifer Michnowicz will be held at Calendar House on January 22, 2025. Contact Jennifer directly at 860-919-7365 to schedule and cancel appointments. Each 45-minute session is $30. payable directly to Jennifer Michnowicz at the time of service.
Jennifer explains what a private Reiki session looks like: "We will meet in the Health Suite. Wear something comfortable. You will be given the option to remove your shoes, glasses, and hearing aids. As you become comfortable on the massage table, I will play relaxing music and wash my hands. I can perform the Reiki Healing with or without touching. That is up to you! I generally start at your head and finish at your feet. My hands will hover over, not touch, your torso. Since the energy is different every time, I may be in one spot the whole time or scanning the body."
