The Westbrook City Band’s fall concert is coming up this Tuesday, October 13, at 7pm, here in the Westbrook Community Center Gymnasium.

They'll be playing music from Grease, Les Misérables, and Pirates of the Caribbean, plus a few more masterpieces you'll probably recognize.

FREE admission, all ages, and no tickets needed—just show up and enjoy!

And, if you're interested in our Redwood Society, a 50+ program presented by ConvenientMD, please make sure to stop by our Redwood & Spruce Rooms (across from each other in Hallway A) for a complimentary, pre-concert bite to eat beginning at 6pm — courtesy of Profenno's Pizzeria & Pub, and learn all about the great trips and FREE activities we offer for older adults.

Redwood Society programs are generally FREE of charge, unless we’re busing off-site for an experience that requires admission, a meal purchase, or additional spending money.

In-house days – generally Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 1-3pm – feature FREE activities such as Team Trivia Challenge, Cribbage Club, Bingo Blitz, and other wonderful, community-based programs. Adventure days – typically on Thursdays and Fridays – include a variety of trips to restaurants, museums, themed attractions, historic sites, shopping outlets, and much more!

Whether you join us to participate in one of our FREE in-house activities or go on a thrilling road-trip experience, it’s sure to be lots of fun and a great opportunity to socialize and meet new people!

These older adult-focused initiatives, which are low-stress, calming, and help lower blood pressure, are designed to keep hearts forever young and days filled with smiles. They can also enhance memory formation and help exercise cognitive skills.

Membership to the Redwood Society is NOT required. Please feel free to drop in for any of our in-house activities, which always feature FREE coffee, water, and snacks. However, pre-registration is required for all off-site experiences due to capacity limits. Our brand-new bus holds 28 passengers, but seats do go fast!

Questions? Please contact John Lee, Recreation Program Assistant, via e-mail at [email protected] or call 207.854.0676, ext. 5266. You may also visit our Reception & Information Center for more information.

We traveled to Meredith, NH, on Friday for our annual visit to the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad and the ever-popular Turkey Train, presented by Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant!

The Turkey Train — officially known as the Turkey Dinner Train on the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad / Winnipesaukee Railway — is a popular two-hour seasonal excursion that departs from Meredith Station.

The train travels south along the western shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, passing through Weirs Beach and alongside Paugus Bay toward Lakeport before returning to Meredith.

Each ticket includes a traditional, homestyle Thanksgiving-style dinner catered on board. Menu highlights include freshly carved roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls and butter, warm apple crisp and a non-alcoholic bottled drink.

These events run during the late summer and fall foliage season, typically on Fridays and Saturdays or select dates through September and October.

‘The Breakfast Club’, where we experience some of the best local breakfast spots in and around Greater Westbrook, visited Miss Portland Diner in Portland on Thursday.

The Miss Portland Diner is a historic, landmark American diner. It is Worcester Lunch Car Company diner No. 818, built in Massachusetts in 1949. It features a classic barrel-vaulted ceiling, marble counter, wood booths, tiled flooring, and chrome accents.

It originally opened in 1949 at 175 Forest Avenue, was moved to 49 Marginal Way in 1964, and was eventually saved, restored, and reopened at its current address in October 2008.

The diner made a cameo appearance in Mel Gibson's 1993 film The Man Without a Face.

The menu includes classic American comfort food, all-day breakfast (eggs benedict, omelets, pancakes, French toast, corned beef hash), burgers, sandwiches, and specialty milkshakes.

Open daily, Monday-Sunday, typically from 7am-2:30pm.

Check them out at: https://missportlanddiner.com

The next session of ‘The Breakfast Club’ is next Thursday, October 15, when we visit The Kitchen in Limington. Register now by visiting www.WestbrookCommunityCenter.org, calling 207.854.0676, or stopping by our Reception & Information Center.

Ride in style in our new 28-passenger bus, socialize with friends — new and old — and start your day the best way possible, with a delicious breakfast!
