SUMMARY:🎵 Old South’s Community Coffee House
DESCRIPTION:Old South’s Community Coffee House\, November 15th\, 7:30 pm \nOld South United Methodist Church is pleased to host a Community Coffee House Concert\, on Saturday\, November 15th at 7:30 pm. We are featuring local area musicians\, a scrumptious dessert bar and beverages. All for a $10 entrance fee! This is not a fund-raiser\, but an event to bring people together to enjoy great music. \nWe will feature three very different performances: “Cait and Pat\,” better known as Caitlin and Patrick Beckmen\, is a sibling musical duo. You may recognize them from their regular performances at Bunratty’s here in Reading. Samantha DeLuca\, another Reading native\, spent several years in Los Angeles writing and recording her own original music. (you can check out her work on Spotify) All three of these musicians were very active on stage with the Drama Club during their years at Reading Memorial High School. Our final musician is Richard Trismen\, a longtime Old South member who writes his own originals as well\, and has been performing in bands since he was a teen. \nOld South could not be more delighted to host this fun event. Please mark your calendars for November 15th at 7:30 pm! You can purchase your ticket in advance by going to https://www.oldsouthumc.org/tickets\, or simply show up on November 15th and pay at the door. \nWe can hardly wait to see you!  Tickets are $10. \nA few words about Old South… Our church has stood at the center of Reading for more than 200 years. In addition to hosting a warm\, supportive community faith\, it is also home to the Reading Food Pantry\, Christian Cooperative Preschool\, and Reading Scout Troops. Old South has assisted refugee resettlement groups and supported UMC mission work as well.

SUMMARY:🎨 Reading Art Association October Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:On October 8\, 2025 the Reading Art Association will host a demonstration by Karen Nastuk. Karen will demonstrate her watercolor technique. \nThe meeting will be held in Guild Hall\, First Congregational Church (middle side door)\, Sanborn Street\, Reading\, Wednesday October 8\, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. \nMore information about Karen and this demo is available on the RAA website. \nhttp://www.readingart.org/oct2025demo.shtml \nKaren Nastuk holds a BA in Fine Arts from Fairleigh Dickenson University. Soon after graduating\, she began studying watercolor with David Millard. Later\, she continued her studies with Margaret Laurie and Betty Lou Schlemm. Karen is able to draw just about anything from memory\, a talent she attributes to her many years of keeping a journal with sketches. Her paintings regularly win awards at local shows. \nKaren states\, “I can put an idea into an easy-to-understand\, visual form\, whether it’s a cartoon\, a diagram\, a series of illustrations\, or a full-scale painted realistic vision.” Karen uses many styles and subjects for her work – line drawings in pencil or pen\, watercolor botanicals\, buildings (both interior and exterior)\, and portraits of people and animals. She feels that watercolors are her best medium because they are liberating and natural. Karen is a popular teacher of drawing and painting and is on the faculty of the Essex Art Center. \nFor more information about Karen\, visit her website. https://fineartists.boston/karen-nastuk/
