4.  Show us something (not a person or pet) in your house that brings you joy and tell us about it.

What is Virtual Bingo?
 
Bingo is a game of chance using cards on which there is a grid of numbers that are marked off when the numbers are called at random. To play bingo, RSVP with the number of people in your group.  You will be sent a link to download your cards. Randomly chosen numbers will be called out and you can mark them on your cards - either on your desktop or print out a paper copy and use pencil to mark off the squares. Our cards are designed with the central square as a free spot, and the first player with five of the called numbers that appear in a row—vertically, horizontally, or diagonally—shouts out "BINGO!" and wins a prize. There will be a prize for the first two players to mark off a row of 5 numbers and one final player who gets a black-out of their whole card.

​​For our Let's Talk participants who use AAC, please consider programming the information below into your talker/device if you would like to add "more" to your CORE vocabulary.  If you have any questions or need assistance please contact Lori Gimelshteyn directly at (978) 886-0888.  ​

Yes, I have it!  No, I don't have it!  Wait a minute!  Can you repeat that? I  need one more!  BINGO!  Great job!  Congratulations!

Let's Talk 2022 Book Club

  
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!

Picture
Cost:  ​$0  This event is sponsored by our generous Corporate Sponsors:  Wagner Equipment, InSPIRE Corporation, Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers of Aurora, Auto Hail Specialists, and Colorado Speech, Language & Learning Professionals.
Start Date:  Tuesday, January 11, 2022
Meeting Days & Times:  Tuesdays 5:00-5:45 PM (MST) & Thursdays 5:15-6:00 PM (MST)
Location:  The Virtual World!  

Book Club is a weekly virtual event open to everyone.  Following an in-depth review of the kick-off events that occurred the previous week, our Book Club reader, Lori Gimelshteyn, reads aloud to our Book Club participants. 
Our Book Club Book Selection for the 2022 Book Club is The Wish by Nicholas Sparks:  1996 was the year that changed everything for Maggie Dawes. Sent away at sixteen to live with an aunt she barely knew in Ocracoke, a remote village on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, she could think only of the friends and family she left behind . . . until she meets Bryce Trickett, one of the few teenagers on the island. Handsome, genuine, and newly admitted to West Point, Bryce gradually shows her how much there is to love about the wind-swept beach town—and introduces her to photography, a passion that will define the rest of her life.

By 2019, Maggie is a renowned travel photographer. She splits her time between running a successful gallery in New York and photographing remote locations around the world. But this year she is unexpectedly grounded over Christmas, struggling to come to terms with a sobering medical diagnosis. Increasingly dependent on a young assistant, she finds herself becoming close to him.

As they count down the last days of the season together, she begins to tell him the story of another Christmas, decades earlier—and the love that set her on a course she never could have imagined.
