So Many Things So Little Time! December is chock full of events and some new programs. Our Senior Chorus is coming back! Turtle Bay Music School is sending their choral conductor, Mark Bruckner to Stein to start up our chorus again. The chorus will meet on Tuesdays, starting December 6th from 12:30 to 2:00 pm. The chorus will meet in Activity Room 1. Please join the chorus, not only is it fun, it is also healthy. You don t have to sing like Caruso! We are also welcoming our new Play-Reading group on the first and third Friday of the month from 10:00 to 12:00. Grant and Nancy are co-leading the group and Carmine will be joining Nancy in December. On Thursday, December 15th, we are having our Holiday Fair from 12-5 pm. We will have wonderful gifts, raffles, refreshments. Please come and support our fundraiser. On Monday, December 19th, the 13th Police Precinct will hold our Holiday Dinner at 3pm. Tickets sell out quickly, so I hope you have gotten yours. The officers from our 13th precinct provide and serve this delicious dinner each year. This year, Stein will be closed both on Friday, December 23rd and Monday, December 26th. As I have written before, I hope you will support our programs by attending them and contributing to them. We have so many activities and programs here that we exceed our budget. Of course, we look for and get as many pro bono teachers and programs that are available, but for the most part, we pay our consultants. I wish our Stein family a healthy, happy and productive holiday season and New Year, 2017. Jane Barry, Executive Director

MOVIES ON THURSDAY(S) - DECEMBER 2016 1:30PM DINING ROOM DEC. 1ST THE KING S SPEECH (2010 1 HR/59 MINS) England's Prince Albert (Colin Firth) must ascend the throne as King George VI, but he has a speech impediment. Knowing that the country needs her husband to be able to communicate effectively, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) hires Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), an Australian actor and speech therapist, to help him overcome his stammer. An extraordinary friendship develops between the two men, as Logue uses unconventional means to teach the monarch how to speak with confidence. DEC. 8TH THE DOLLY SISTERS (1945 1HR/54MINS) In this fact-based film, siblings Jenny (Betty Grable) and Rosie Dolly (June Haver) are born in Hungary but, at an early age, emigrate to the United States with their family. Before long, the girls begin to dance in small venues to support their relatives. They meet charming small-time crooner Harry (John Payne), who begins a romance with Jenny. He manages to get the girls a big audition that launches them to worldwide stardom; however, the sisters' success takes its toll on Jenny's love life. DEC. 15TH ***NO MOVIE TODAY*** HOLIDAY FAIR DEC. 22ND WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954 2 HRS)Singers Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) join sister act Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and Judy Haynes (Vera-Ellen) to perform a Christmas show in rural Vermont. There, they run into Gen. Waverly (Dean Jagger), the boys' commander in World War II, who, they learn, is having financial difficulties; his quaint country inn is failing. So what's the foursome to do but plan a yuletide miracle: a fun-filled musical extravaganza that's sure to put Waverly and his business in the black! DEC. 29TH THE HORSE SOLDIERS (1959 2 HRS) During the Civil War, Colonel John Marlowe (John Wayne) is tasked with leading a Union cavalry division to raze a Confederate railroad depot. Marlowe faces further challenges as a result of his frequent disagreements with the regiment's surgeon, Major Henry Kendall (William Holden), and the presence of Miss Hannah Hunter (Constance Towers), a Southern belle who overhears Marlowe's secret plans and is brought along to prevent her from spreading the word.
