These engaging sessions aim to ignite enthusiasm and active participation through music, art, and craft activities.

Choreographer and dance instructor Linda Mensch, Director of Movco Dance, along with musician and conductor David Dworkin, creator of Conductorcise, kick off the session with a dynamic 15-minute music and movement segment. Following a brief intermission, participants reconvene for an hour-long art or craft project guided by Jenny Torino, an artist and Registered Dietitian experienced in adult and developmental challenge programs, and Beth Laule, a seasoned artist, educator, and scenic craftsperson.

The female pilots of WWII flew jets and sometimes new planes that their male counterparts avoided.  They ferried aircraft from the factory to airbases in order to free male pilots for combat. They endured discrimination and received less pay; they had no military standing, and received no Veterans benefits.  But they proved that women could fly planes as well as men, and in time, received their due recognition.
