Programs funded in part by the Department For The Aging
So Many Things – So Little Time!
December is chock full of events and some new programs. Our Senior
Chorus is coming back! Turtle Bay Music School is sending their choral conductor, Mark Bruckner to Stein to start up our chorus again. The chorus will
meet on Tuesdays, starting December 6th from 12:30 to 2:00 pm. The chorus will meet in Activity Room 1. Please join the chorus, not only is it fun, it
is also healthy. You don’t have to sing like Caruso!
We are also welcoming our new Play-Reading group on the first and third
Friday of the month from 10:00 to 12:00. Grant and Nancy are co-leading
the group and Carmine will be joining Nancy in December.
On Thursday, December 15th, we are having our Holiday Fair from 12-5 pm.
We will have wonderful gifts, raffles, refreshments. Please come and support
our fundraiser. On Monday, December 19th, the 13th Police Precinct will hold
our Holiday Dinner at 3pm. Tickets sell out quickly, so I hope you have gotten
yours. The officers from our 13th precinct provide and serve this delicious dinner
each year.
This year, Stein will be closed both on Friday, December 23rd and Monday, December 26th.
As I have written before, I hope you will support our programs by attending them and contributing to them. We have so many activities and programs
here that we exceed our budget. Of course, we look for and get as many pro
bono teachers and programs that are available, but for the most part, we pay
our consultants.
I wish our Stein family a healthy, happy and productive holiday season and
New Year, 2017.

1:30PM – DINING ROOM
DEC. 1ST THE KING’S SPEECH (2010 1 HR/59 MINS) England's Prince Albert
(Colin Firth) must ascend the throne as King George VI, but he has a speech
impediment. Knowing that the country needs her husband to be able to communicate effectively, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) hires Lionel Logue
(Geoffrey Rush), an Australian actor and speech therapist, to help him overcome his stammer. An extraordinary friendship develops between the two
men, as Logue uses unconventional means to teach the monarch how to
speak with confidence.
DEC. 8TH THE DOLLY SISTERS (1945 1HR/54MINS) In this fact-based film, siblings Jenny (Betty Grable) and Rosie Dolly (June Haver) are born in Hungary
but, at an early age, emigrate to the United States with their family. Before
long, the girls begin to dance in small venues to support their relatives. They
meet charming small-time crooner Harry (John Payne), who begins a romance with Jenny. He manages to get the girls a big audition that launches
them to worldwide stardom; however, the sisters' success takes its toll on
Jenny's love life.
DEC. 15TH ***NO MOVIE TODAY*** HOLIDAY FAIR
DEC. 22ND WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954 2 HRS)Singers Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) join sister act Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and
Judy Haynes (Vera-Ellen) to perform a Christmas show in rural Vermont.
There, they run into Gen. Waverly (Dean Jagger), the boys' commander in
World War II, who, they learn, is having financial difficulties; his quaint country inn is failing. So what's the foursome to do but plan a yuletide miracle: a
fun-filled musical extravaganza that's sure to put Waverly and his business in
the black!
DEC. 29TH THE HORSE SOLDIERS (1959 2 HRS) During the Civil War,
Colonel John Marlowe (John Wayne) is tasked with leading a Union cavalry
division to raze a Confederate railroad depot. Marlowe faces further
challenges as a result of his frequent disagreements with the regiment's
surgeon, Major Henry Kendall (William Holden), and the presence of Miss
Hannah Hunter (Constance Towers), a Southern belle who overhears
Marlowe's secret plans and is brought along to prevent her from spreading
the word.

Social Work, and is studying on the Clinical
track. She is available to meet one on one for
counseling sessions. She also teaches an Arts
and Crafts class here every other Monday.

MEET OUR STUDENT INTERNS:
Kate Witt is currently an intern from the Silberman School of
Social Work at Hunter College. She helps at the Stein center
three days a week. Previously she taught high school English in
the NYC public schools. She is a prolific poet who enjoys the
transformative nature of writing.
Memoir writing is a powerful way to express the joy and wonder in our lives. Please join us every other Friday morning to
discuss the memorable stories from your life. We spend the
first part of class brainstorming ideas and sharing important
moments. The end of class is used to explore our experiences in
writing. Over the next several months we will write several
small writing samples and then pick one piece of writing to expand on in detail. During the spring, we will publish an
anthology of our work.

About “Measure for Measure” Bob asks, “Can you imagine a

Blooms favorite Shakespeare play!” Join us.
