It’s a New Year! Help say good-bye (or good riddance!) to 2020 and welcome in 2021. All are welcome to participate – singles, couples, families, newcomers and old-timers. We have two dinners scheduled – one on Sunday, January 24 and the other on Saturday, January 30. These will be potluck dinners via Zoom, and there will be no assignments or pre-dinner prep – just a chance to gather and break bread with new and old friends. You only need to signup on Signup Genius (links in newsletter) and an invite with a link will be sent to you before the dinner. Please contact Steph Chiha at octagon@follen.org if you have any questions or difficulty signing up.
Join us for a Zoom presentation on January 28 at 7pm by Julie Freeman, RD, nutritional, lifestyle coach and integrative medicine expert. Julie will discuss ways to deal with Pandemic Fatigue, Depression, Anxiety and other imbalances in our lives that effect emotional and physical health/illness, including diet, supplements, isolation, sleep, and fitness. Participants should register at caringcong@follen.org and may submit a question they would like addressed by the presentation.
This presentation is paid for by a donation in memory of Arlie Langseth, long time Follen member involved in the work of Volunteer Service Network and Caring Congregation Committee for many years. Arlie was a life-long advocate for those less fortunate and had a dedicated career as nutritionist and planner for Project Hope programs for women and children in need.

The Follen Stitches, Follen’s knitting group, meets every Wednesday morning from 10am til noon. Many knit, some do other needlework, but no handiwork is required to join and chat. It’s hard to teach a beginner to knit over Zoom but we can advise one another when a project hits a snag.
Contact Nancy Sofen for details and link to join.
