Haven is a nonprofit, nonsectarian community organization of trained volunteers that offers emotional support to the bereaved, the seriously ill, the dying and to their families and friends. Haven also provides education to the community about the needs of those who are grieving.
Since September 1976 Haven volunteers have helped individuals work through their grief, offering comfort and support by sharing insights, resources and techniques that encourage recovery and healing. Support is conducted by trained volunteers, not therapists. Group is intended for those who have suffered the loss of a spouse or partner. No cost to attend.
The group will focus on understanding spousal grief, how to cope, how to take care of yourself and how to remember a special life. Group will meet the 4th Saturday of each month. No registration required. Feel free to just "drop-in".

Oddball Cinema Presents: Food for Thought.&nbsp;
Join us for a screening of “Big Night” (1996) starring&nbsp;Stanley Tucci, Tony Shalhoub and Minnie Driver.&nbsp;Rated R. 1 hour and 47 minutes. Adults.
Two Italian immigrant brothers are struggling to save their failing restaurant in 1950s New Jersey. Primo, a passionate chef, and Secondo, a pragmatic businessman, pin their hopes on one extravagant evening—a lavish feast they believe will turn their fortunes around. As the night unfolds, tensions simmer, dreams collide, and the complexities of ambition, family, and cultural pride are laid bare. Rich in food and feeling, the film is a celebration of art, identity, and the cost of staying true to one’s vision.
