Welcome back to the forgotten world of the matinee. The recreation department has scheduled some of the best in family oriented films for you and your family to enjoy. These movies are shown at the Cultural Performing Arts Center at Cluett Hall. The next film scheduled is The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, which will be shown during the mid-winter recess on Thursday, Feb. 22, beginning at 1 p.m. This is the feature-length live-action comedy which is based on the classic cartoons. The movie is rated "PG" and has a running time of approximately 90 minutes.
There is no charge for admission to the movie, and advance reservations are not required. For your convenience, freshly popped popcorn, snacks and sodas will be available for you to purchase at Cluett Hall.
The Recreation Chess Club has begun meeting on Saturdays in the Garden City Library meeting room from noon until 2 p.m.
Under the direction of Paul Dooher, youngsters will have a chance to learn new strategies while playing games each week. Beginners will be taught basic moves and concepts. At the end of the season, a tournament will be held, and trophies will be awarded to the top performers.
There is no charge for this program, and no registration is necessary. Youngsters in grades 3 and up are welcome to join the Chess Club.
