SUMMARY:Free Hearing Screenings
DESCRIPTION:Free Comprehensive Hearing Screening! Call 860-567-8302 to book your 20 minute appointment between 9:30-12pm.\n\n\n\n\nHearing Care Centers will be on site at Litchfield Community Center to offer free comprehensive hearing screenings\, a series of tests that assess an individual’s ability to hear sounds and understand speech. The screening typically includes a range of tests such as pure-tone audiometry\, speech audiometry\, and middle ear testing. The purpose of the screening is to determine whether an individual has any hearing loss and the extent of the hearing loss. \nComprehensive hearing screening is important because hearing loss can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. It can affect an individual’s ability to communicate effectively\, participate in social activities\, and perform daily tasks. Early detection of hearing loss can help prevent these negative impacts by allowing for prompt treatment\, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants\, which can improve an individual’s ability to hear and communicate. Additionally\, early detection of hearing loss can help identify any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the hearing loss and allow for timely treatment of those conditions. Overall\, comprehensive hearing screening is an important tool in maintaining overall health and wellbeing.

SUMMARY:Litchfield Audubon Society Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Northern Saw-whet Owl\nThis is the smallest forest owl in eastern North America. In the fall\, thousands of them leave their\nbreeding grounds in southern Canada and the northern U.S. and move south to find food and cover.\nOften called migrants\, it is more appropriate to refer to them as “nomads” or fall “passage birds\,”\nsince they never end up in the same place twice. Much of their life history remains a mystery. Join\nfederally licensed raptor bander Larry Fischer as he unravels some of the mystery surrounding the\nlife history of the Northern Saw-whet Owl. Larry has been banding and watching owls and hawks for\nmore than 40 years. He is a state and federally licensed bird bander with an emphasis on birds of\nprey and is a former president of the Western Connecticut Bird Club. \nNote: The meetings will be in person and on Zoom. To participate on Zoom\, go to the Calendar section of our website\, lhasct.org\, to register. You will be sent the login link. \nThe meeting times are when refreshments are available. A short business meeting begins at 7 p.m.\, followed by the presentation.

SUMMARY:Ravioli Class
DESCRIPTION:Click Here to Register \nInstructor: Charlene Dutka\, Ciesco Catering \nCharlene Goodman Dutka lives in Goshen with her husband Ed\, youngest son Matthew\, and three rescue dogs. She was born and raised in Torrington in an Italian-American family. Her grandmother prepared food with love\, often using ingredients from her grandfather’s garden. \nCharlene started collecting cookbooks and reading them like novels at a young age. When time allowed\, she continually experimented in the kitchen while pursuing her corporate career and raising four children. \nOver ten years ago\, Charlene took a leap of faith to open Ciesco Catering\, which was named in honor of her maternal grandparents. Like her grandmother\, Charlene prepares food with love. \nDenise Pastore Ciesco lives in North Granby with her husband\, Gary\, and their two horses. She was born in Torrington and raised in an Italian-American family\, relocating to Italy with her family as a teenager. Denise immersed herself in Italian culture while celebrating traditional American Holidays with family and friends. The consummate hostess\, Denise’s dinners were always famous among anyone who knew her. \nWhen Denise’s two children were grown\, she and her former spouse\, who was in the construction business\, built and owned a resort with two restaurants. Denise would ask her world-renowned chefs for tips and ideas and continues incorporating this knowledge into her recipes. \nDenise and Charlene met shortly after the catering company opened through Charlene’s cousin\, Denise’s husband. They are cousins in every way possible. Together\, they create unique menu items while having fun—sometimes too much fun with a dash of mischief.
