Gather with friends and neighbors to watch the solar eclipse!  We will have a limited number of eclipse glasses available for viewing and some fun activities for all ages.  In case of rain or heavy cloud cover, we will have a live stream of the eclipse from a clearer location courtesy of NASA in the Meeting Room and our activities will move indoors.
