Tickets may also be received for attending any of the following events (open to Verona residents only, please).
Meditation & Relaxation: Thursdays at 10 a.m. in the Firemen’s Room of the Verona Community Center (upstairs). July 6 – Aug. 24. Please bring a yoga mat and blanket.
Knitting Caps for Chemo: Thursdays at 7 p.m., July 6 – Aug. 10. Materials provided, but registration is required. Led by Virginia Citrano. Participants will learn to make hats for chemotherapy patients, which they can donate to St. Barnabas Hospital or give to the cancer patient of their choice. There are patterns for women, men and children so that anyone experiencing treatment-induced hair loss can feel warm in a treatment room or outside. Receiving a chemo cap can also lift the spirits of a patient experiencing a health crisis. Please join us. All levels of knitting experience welcome!
