Over the past three years, Ted Smith, has offered a variety of topics for the
Hudson SAGE community, classes held in Hudson in the fall and spring for
senior citizens. The topic he presents are manifold, from Metaphysics, to
Eastern and Celtic Spiritualism, Tai-Chi, as well as Irish/Celtic history. His wife
is from Ireland and might come along for the presentation. Ted will share in-
sights into the Irish culture and its Celtic heritage, as well as the Irish influence
on American culture and help debunk some of the American misconceptions
about Irish beliefs and customs.

Spring Scholarship Event-Save the Date!
Join us for heavy hors d’oeuvres, wine, light music, and some great
views of downtown Akron. We’ll have a Time, Talents & Treasures si-
lent auction and a 20-Questions game. The first person to identify the
mystery items wins it!
When: April 17, 2016 (2-5 p.m.)
Where: The Bit Factory
526 S. Main St., Suite 511, Akron, OH 44311
Your help is needed: Items for the Time, Talents, & Treasures auction
We’re seeking donated items for the Time, Talents, & Treasures silent
auction. Maybe you’re a great cook and could make dinner for people,
or you know every bird in the CVNP and could lead a walking tour.
Maybe you’re a gifted artist or crafter. If you have a special talent or
skill, we’d love it if you would let us auction it off. Or maybe you have
items around your house that you don’t use anymore, but that someone
else may love. We’d love to help you clear out some of those nooks and
crannies. If you are able to contribute anything to the silent auction,
please let someone on the Scholarship Committee, Molly McBurney,
Sylvia Johnson, or Diane Vukovich, know by March 15, 2016.
