SAGEUMPI - Seniors Achieving Greater Education



Hobbies & Leisure

SAGE Book Club by ZOOM

Free

with Jayne Farrin

Calendar Oct 1, 2025 at 10 am, runs for 24 weeks

Senior College membership required. 

Jan 21 – At Midnight Comes the Cry by Julia Spencer Fleming. It’s Christmas time in Millers Kill, and Reverend Clare Fergusson and her husband Russ van Alstyne - newly resigned from his position as chief of police – plan to enjoy it with their baby boy. On their list: visiting Santa, decorating the tree, and attending church. But when a beloved holiday parade is crashed by white supremacists, Clare and Russ find themselves sucked into a parallel world of militias, machinations, and murder.

Feb 18 – Threads of Deception by our own Beverly D Knowles.  This is her second book, and we are so proud she is a member of our Book Club. “What could possibly be cannonballing toward the Abbotts? Curious about a newspaper clipping that details an event unknown to Elizabeth and Charlie, the retired teacher and pilot are drawn to a midcoastal Maine inn only to return home to their Victorian. Underlying dilemmas weigh upon them, including the preservation of their 1870s spirit-inhabited Victorian and the disappearance of Jennie and Rebecca several years ago. And then there are the clairvoyant ones as well as Mrs. Abbott’s former students.

Mar 18 – Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray. “…But when Frances meets a young lawyer named Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a tea dance, sparks fly in all the wrong directions. She thinks he’s a rich, arrogant dilettante who gets by on a handsome face and a famous name. He thinks she’s a priggish bluestocking and insufferable do-gooder. Neither knows it yet, but over the next twenty years, they will form a historic partnership that will carry them both to the White House.”

Cribbage for All

Free

with Remillie Norsworthy

Calendar Jan 7, 2026 at 10:05 am, runs for 24 weeks

Sign up is recommended so we can develop a contact list for emergencies and changes but it isn't required.

The Sargent Family Community Center and Seniors Achieving Greater Education will host a Cribbage Group for all skill levels starting January 7, 2026.  It will be held on Wednesdays starting right after Tai Chi – about 10:30AM.  Tables of 2, 3 or 4 will be set up depending on the day’s arrivals.  No experience? We’ll teach them.  An expert? We’ll challenge them. Remillie will teach one person to play Cribbage for One, if interested. Stop by at 9:30 AM for Tai Chi and stay for Cribbage at 10:30 AM.  It would make for a great morning of fun, challenge and staying healthy.  And, it’s all Free.
