choose and cut pictures. You are invited to bring other art supplies and graphics. Join family members, kids, new friends, neighbors you’ve just met – create a collage piece with someone, and we’ll fill up our two-sided 4’ X 8’ “Collage Wall.”  Our title and theme are “Who We Are.” 

We will also have sign up sheets for ongoing and new Falconbridge Village activities.

Travelling Pub: Every other Friday from 5-6:30 pm, you are invited to join your neighbors for drinks and nibbles.  Bring whatever you’d like to drink. The pub meets in a different home each time.  The host provides ice, glasses, and a simple nibble or two (e.g., popcorn).  A few days before each session, we send the location to the e-mail list. To inquire about any of the above programs, email falvillage@mindspring.com 

New Activities

Falconbridge Village is launching a Project Compassion support team program this Fall. This program helps neighbors to help neighbors in dealing with the day to day challenges of having a serious health issue, or caring for someone in your household with a serious issue. The team approach, for which orientation is now available online, is much easier and more efficient over the long term than working in an uncoordinated way with individual neighbors and friends. It avoids the embarrassment of asking for help, the drop-off of help after a short time, and the confusion of wanting to help but not knowing what kind of help is most needed. Support teams aid with activities, errands, tasks, social contacts, food – things that neighbors and friends can and often do provide. Email falvillage@mindspring.com for more information on joining our neighborhood team or requesting team support.

Community Center without Walls

Falconbridge Village is planning to establish the opportunity for people to “meet” via telephone conference calls, every week or two, without having to leave the house -- to share or discuss a variety of topics such as:  support groups, current events, event planning, special interests or hobbies -- whatever a group of 3-10 Falconbridge residents might be interested in taking up. Please e-mail Falvillage@mindspring.com with your suggestions and interests.

Bookmobile Update

We are still trying to set up a regularly scheduled bookmobile stop in Falconbridge.  Please keep letting the Durham Public Library folks know we are still interested and eagerly awaiting their arrival. Talk to librarians when you visit the library, or email the bookmobile staff at the central library. E-mail the bookmobile department:  libraryoutreach@durhamcountync.gov  .  You can also visit the bookmobile every other Wednesday from 4 to 6 in Downing Creek.
