1:00 - 2:00 PM
Are you a Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin fan? Join Social Spark to sing along with George Moore. He will cover popular songs from the 40’s to the 70’s
George Moore is a crooner—a style of male singer known for an intimate, smooth, and sentimental vocal sound that rose to popularity from the late 1920s through the 1950s. A retired Lutheran school teacher, George has a special love for the music of the 1960s—the songs that shaped his teenage years.
Each week will focus on a new classic or modern rock song. All instruments welcome. It’s a great opportunity to connect with fellow musicians and explore new musical styles together. Musicians ages 16 and up only, please.
Learn ballet technique in a fun, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment with attentive instruction from Kori.

If you are a caregiver for your spouse, child, sibling, other family member, friend or you are a volunteer or aide, join us for conversations with other caregivers who understand the dedication, challenges and love involved in this journey.
Get some fresh air with new friends and a dash of Jewish teaching. Special guest, yoga instructor Debi Bohmerwald, will lead the group with some gentle stretches as we walk together along the Foster City lagoon path. We walk at a pace fast enough to feel vibrant but slow enough to include most mobility levels.
Explore how music became both a lifeline and a weapon during the Holocaust, as scholar Eleanor Shapiro reveals its power to inspire resistance, serve propaganda, and preserve memory in the years that followed.
