When Tony Lip, a bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley, a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on "The Green Book" to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. Confronted with racism, danger, as well as unexpected humanity and humor—they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime.

Come to learn what a Philanthropy director does. Come to get to know your neighbors. Come for the laughter. Come for the chocolate. MEDITATION GROUP, FRIDAYS, 4PM – CHAPEL: Taking time out for silence sets aside the concerns and useless worrying that diminishes joy in our life. It provides perspective. On Friday afternoons we gather in the chapel to practice our ability to let the mindless chatter go for a while. Each session opens with a reading, followed by 20-25 minutes of silence. After a short meditative walk, we continue with another 20-25


minutes of silence. From time to time I facilitate the meditative practice, helping participants to relax their body and to focus their intentions for the hour.

If you have read a book from this Library and thought perhaps someone else might enjoy it, please fill out the review form found on the check-out table in the Library. Leave it on the table and we will post it in the display rack area along with the book.


April 1, 10AM in the Board Room: The Library committee meeting. All are welcome. NOTE FROM THE TRANSPORTATION SUBCOMMITTEE: Did you hear the rumor that Collington is doing away with the bus shuttles to the New Carrollton Metro station? Well, it is just a rumor, not correct! The subcommittee is reviewing the trip statistics to determine how to make the transportation service better for all of us. If you have concerns, give me a call or send me an email. Ruth Wilson x7534 or [email protected] WANTED (to borrow): Framed posters. The Interiors Group seeks framed, ready-to-hang posters to exhibit in the Auditorium corridor for several months beginning in mid-April. If you have one or more that you would be willing to lend, or if you have questions, please telephone Anne Stone, x7282 or Helen Lauck, x7254. COMPASSION & CHOICES: As you have likely already heard, the Medical Aid in Dying Bill died in the Maryland Senate on Wednesday, 3/28. Many in the Collington community worked hard in support of this bill, including 20 of us who went into Annapolis for the C&C Lobby Day when the bill was first introduced: Lorrie Rogers who testified at the House Joint Committee hearing; dozens and dozens of us who emailed and phoned not only our own delegation but legislators around the state multiple times; and 310 (253 residents plus 57 family, friends, and staff – mostly staff) who signed petitions that were presented to our delegation. So how did our District 24 delegation vote? Del. Barron did us proud and voted YES in committee and on the House floor. Del. Lewis wrestled long and hard with the issue and was unable to vote for it. He sent a letter explaining himself. If you would like a copy of his letter, call Lorrie (x7371). Del. Harrison, although she told some of us two different times that she would vote Yes, ended up voting NO. Sen. Benson, who claimed to be undecided, voted NO.


REMINDER: There will be no Jewish Friday service and dinner on March 29. SAVE THE DATE: There will be a District 2000 meeting on Tuesday, April 9 at 4PM in Classroom A. LAWN APPLICATIONS SCHEDULE: Round 1: Early Spring application – April 8th- 9th Round 2: Late Spring application – May 16th Round 4: Early Fall application – August 29th Round 5: Late Fall application – October 17th SAGE CLASS WITH MICHAEL CRANE: Michael Crane’s SAGE classes will be cancelled for the spring semester. He is still recovering from his illness, so he will not return for the remainder of the semester. SAVE THE DATE: The Parkinson's Support Group will be meeting on Thursday, April 11 at 11AM in the Board Room. This meeting is open to Collington residents who have Parkinson's disease or a parkinsonism diagnosis, and their spouses/partners. SALE: WHAT: lovely clip earrings for $5. a pair WHEN: Wednesday, March 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. WHERE: 3rd floor Glass Cases HOUSING LEADERS MEETING, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 3-4:30PM - GAME ROOM: All District, Cluster, and Hall leaders are encouraged to attend the housing leader workshop from 3 – 4:30 p.m. in the Game Room. RSVP Nadine Hathaway, x5148 A MESSAGE FROM THE SUSTAINABILITY GROUP: Close both cottage front doors & storm doors! Storm doors are not insulated and have little weather stripping. They are intended to supplement, not replace, insulated front doors. Closing only storm doors invites cold air infiltration in winter and hot air infiltration in summer. That results in


need for more heating and more A/C, using more electricity, costing us all, and increasing our carbon footprint. Please completely close both doors! SAVE THE DATE: The Annapolis Chorale concert on Saturday, April 6, will feature a world premiere of “Chesapeake Triptych" by Kathy Wonson Eddy. This piece celebrates the local landscape, flora and fauna, of the Chesapeake Bay and calls on us to honor Mother Earth. It was commissioned specifically for the Annapolis Chorale by an anonymous donor. The choir will also perform Dan Forest’s “Lux,” an evocation of light with biblical passages and other sources. Two flute sonatas by Vivaldi and Mozart round out the program. Come support your Collington neighbors who sing in the Chorale. Tickets are available from LiveArtsMaryland.org and a bus is arranged (see April Trips).

Who Knew?

For twenty five years the Residents Association has been carrying on the tradition of honoring our elderly population. According to Al Folop who was there at the beginning, a decision was made to cele-brate a resident’s 90th birthday by giving them a certificate honor-ing the day. Grace Langley wrote the poem and Al, the one com-puter literate member, printed the certificates. And so the 90s Club was born. Not only the 90s club but also the Century Club, which celebrates our residents who achieve 100 years of life!

In the last 25 years, Al estimates 450 certificates have been pre-sented. You may ask about our current population. We now have:

77 residents who are 90+ and 3 who are 100+ (technically one of the 3 won’t be 100 until April) residing in independent living,

15 residents who are 90+ in skilled nursing, and

28 residents who are 90+ and 4 who are 100+ in assisted living

Totals - 120 residents over 90 years of age and almost 7 residents over 100 years of age.

As we toast in Yiddish “La Chaim,” - “To Life.”

Reminders:

All RA business copying must now be done on the copier in the RA office. If you need assistance ask any of your officers or call 2214 for an appointment.

The Residents Association website collingtonresidents.org – now has a link to recorded auditorium events. Look under Collington Publica-tions – a list on the left side of the front webpage. Recorded Audito-rium Events is the last listed item. Call 2214 for the password.
