SUMMARY:First Folk Sunday - Sentimental Journey
DESCRIPTION:SUZANNE SHERIDAN and Dave Childs (keyboards) and John Mobilio (standup bass) return to the 40’s on Pearl Harbor Day\, December 7. Singing the music from the American songbook is a first for First Folk Sunday but the opportunity was simply irresistible for a songstress with the versatility of SUZANNE SHERIDAN. \nSomeone once said\, “If it never gets old\, it’s folk music”. With that in mind\, Gershwin never gets old\, Cole Porter never gets old. The American standard repertoire of the 40’s\, which defined and enhanced the social order during World War II\, remains popular to this day.  \nFirst Folk Sunday is approaching the last concert of its third season on December 7 and looking forward to its fourth season at the Saugatuck Rowing Club starting July 5\, 2026.  \nIn addition to the purchase of a ticket\, the culinary team at Saugatuck Rowing Club\, 521 Riverside Avenue\, offers a First Folk Sunday brunch menu at each show along with craft cocktails and other beverages. Doors open at noon and the music begins at 12:30. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased on the First Folk Sunday website\, https://firstfolksunday.com \nFor more information call 203-984-7562

SUMMARY:Fred Elser First Sunday Science: Living with Ecological Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, December 7\, 2025 2–3pm\, Floren Family Environmental Center at Innis Arden Cottage\, Greenwich Point Park\, Old Greenwich\, CT \nJoin Scott Smith for a discussion on how you can start composting on your own or pitch in on a heap with your neighbors or community garden. Scott Smith is a longtime Connecticut resident\, avid gardener and author of “On Compost: A Year in the Life of a Suburban Garden” (Christmas Lake Press\, 2024). “On Compost” chronicles the cultivation of a suburban yard as a way to highlight the larger story of how to live more sustainably and with ecological purpose—and lots of freshly made living soil. The book illustrates how composting can reduce food and yard waste\, enrich soil\, boost biodiversity and combat climate change. More than just a guide to composting\, ‘On Compost’ shows how a simple backyard compost heap can bring neighbors together\, foster a sense of community\, and create shared experiences. \nIn keeping with the Seaside Center’s mission to protect and value the ecological riches of the Long Island Sound\, Smith will also discuss the time-honored use of a local resource—nutrient-rich seaweed\, sustainably harvested from a nearby beach. A soil conditioner prized by generations of farmers and gardeners alike\, seaweed contains trace elements\, micro-nutrients and plant growth compounds you’ll never find in any chemical fertilizer—or even in most organic ones. \nThis program is free of charge. No beach pass is required if you are attending the Fred Elser First Sunday Science. Please let them know at the gate you are attending the Bruce Museum Seaside Center lecture. First Sunday Science programs take place at the Floren Family Environmental Center at Innis Arden Cottage\, Greenwich Point Park\, Old Greenwich\, CT.
