Important Information!
We are happy to inform you that the Watertown COA/Senior Center is open again,
and we are excited to see you!
Due to summer pre-school activities in the Phillips building, gym access and parking
are extremely limited, therefore many of our programs will continue to be offered
via Zoom, including exercise classes, but you will find other activities offered
on -site "at COA" in the afternoons. Look inside for more details. Programs are
identified as "on Zoom" or "at COA." If you have a specific question, give us a call
and we will let you know the status of a program. In addition, as new visitors join
us, there may be limitations imposed for group sizes causing us to rotate
attendance. As a result, we need you to call us and pre -register for any "at COA"
program you plan to attend. If you are not pre -registered, we may not have a space
for you.
New Guidelines when coming to the Senior Center:
• Pre -register for any "at COA" program by calling (617) 972-6490.
• Scan your My Senior Center Card upon entering the building.
• Masks are required for those not vaccinated.
• Masks are highly recommended for all visitors regardless of vaccination status.
• Hand sanitizer stations are available throughout the building.
• Kitchen is closed - No coffee or food service provided, but you may bring your
own.
• Dress accordingly - Windows will be open to maintain air circulation.
• Consider carpooling with a friend due to limited parking in the Phillips lot.
Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Book Club
(held at the Library & via Zoom)
Wednesday, August 11 at 9 am
We will be discussing Emma, by Jane Austen. First
published in December 1815, Emma is a comedy
of manners, youthful hubris and romantic
misunderstandings and depicts issues of marriage,
sex, age, and social status. Emma is spoiled,
headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly
overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she
is blind to the dangers of meddling in other
people's lives; and her imagination and
perceptions often lead her astray. Upcoming: If
you would like a copy of the book list for the
coming season, please call the Senior Center after
August 1, and it will be sent to you.

2021, IMDB 7.2, PG, ih 47min
Tuesday, August 10 at 4 pm
-� Travel to the fantasy world of Kumandra,
where humans and dragons lived
together in harmony long ago. But when an evil
force threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed
themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years
later, that same evil has returned and it's up to a
lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary
last dragon to restore the fractured land and its
divided people. However, along her journey, she'll
learn that it'll take more than a dragon to save the
world, it's going to take trust and teamwork as
well.

of all, his bedroom. Unwilling to let such an
injustice stand, Peter devises a series of

interloper, but Grandpa Ed won't go without a
fight.
