Want to meet other book enthusiasts in Norwich? This book club features reads related to personal growth and experience. Join us in May to read "Greenlights" by Matthew McConaughey.   From the jacket: "I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me.   Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life’s challenges—how to get relative with the inevitable—you can enjoy a state of success I call “catching greenlights.”   The first 10 people to register will be able to pick up a complimentary copy of the book.

Join us as we celebrate one of the most famous races in the sport of rowing: The Harvard-Yale Regatta. The 157th meeting of two of the most successful programs in the sport will be held on the Thames River in New London, CT, on June 8th this year. “The Race,” as it is sometimes called, is the oldest intercollegiate athletic competition in the country. Partnering with Stonington Community Rowing, Inc., the UNITED presents a special evening with legendary rowing coach, Steve Gladstone and National Rowing Foundation Director, Bill Miller.  After coaching 13 years at Yale University, which includes winning the Harvard-Yale Regatta the last five times and sweeping all events in 2022, Steve Gladstone will share fascinating first-hand experiences and insights about the historic regatta. Collegiate and national team rower and coach, and National Rowing Foundation Director, Bill Miller, will discuss some of the rich history behind the regatta and also what is, arguably, the most important event in American rowing: The 1869 Great International University Boat Race.  A reception will follow the presentation with special artifacts on display from the Mystic Seaport collection.

Please join us at the UNITED Table for the second event in our series celebrating the art of beer hosted by Master Cicerone Max Finnance – a world-class expert in all things beer. In this event we’ll walk through the brewing process, with just enough science to make you think but not enough to have you wishing for a study hall. We’ll taste beers that highlight differences in the brewing process so that you’ll leave understanding why some “hoppy” beers are aggressively bitter and others have almost no bitterness – and why some beers finish delectably dry while others are syrupy sweet.
