The Final Fifth: For Women 80+
2026-03-12 10:30 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Community Room
The Final Fifth is a reflective and engaging discussion group designed for women ages 80 and beyond who are interested in connection, storytelling, and continued personal growth. This intimate series invites participants to explore the later chapters of life—not only by looking back, but by honoring who we are still becoming.

Together, we’ll reflect on questions such as:

What are we learning now?
How are we continuing to evolve emotionally, spiritually, and socially?
What wisdom do we carry, and how do we want to share it?

This program offers a welcoming space for meaningful conversation, laughter, vulnerability, and inspiration, celebrating the richness and fullness of life at this stage. Guided by experienced moderators, participants will connect with peers in a supportive and thoughtful environment.

Entwyned – A Celtic Program
GIVE ME YOUR HAND: A CELTIC MUSICAL CELEBRATION
For centuries music played a central role in the cultures of Ireland and Scotland. And for centuries there were attempts to eradicate their music and instruments. Our program will highlight delightful selections from the Edward Bunting Collections, first published in 1796. Bunting traveled throughout Ireland to capture in written form traditional Irish music before it was forever lost. Entwyned will perform and describe the joyous, wistful, and rollicking music of the Celtic nations from Bunting and other historic sources, adapted to our instruments: Celtic harp, lutes, historic guitars, mandolin, Baroque flutes, and Viola da Gamba.

Note: this performance will run 3:30-4:45PM and includes a complimentary lecture on the history and culture of Ireland’s music.
Donations Welcome!

Free Hearing Screenings
2026-03-25 09:30 - 12:00 | Learning Center
Free Comprehensive Hearing Screening! Call 860-567-8302 to book your 20 minute appointment between 9:30-12pm.

Hearing 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.
Comprehensive 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.
