Whether you are still in school, or have been out of school for years, when fall approaches, you can’t help but think of “back to school.” Maybe no classes will be held or tests given, but all students from the classes of 1961 and prior are asked to gather at the Central House, Beach Lake, PA for a reunion on Friday, September 11. A social hour will begin at 3:30 p.m. followed by a buffet dinner at 5:30 p.m. It’s not too late to join your classmates and reconnect with your roots. For information, call Dot McCormack, 845/252-3888, Janet Orr, 570/729-7171 or Beth Peck 845/252-3356.

The next big event in Narrowsburg is the fourth annual Big Eddy Film Festival beginning Friday night, September 18 to Sunday, September 20. It is a wonderful feeling to watch new emerging films on our own Tusten Theater silver screen. The festival opens with “Tumbledown,” a romantic comedy starring Rebecca Hall and Jason Sudeikis (Saturday Night Live), co-starring Griffin Dunne and Blythe Danner. Although the film premiered at the TriBeCa Film Festival, we are pleased to note that Narrowsburg has the opportunity to view this film prior to the national release date of February 14, 2016. “Tumbledown” is a “a warm, gently funny film about ‘moving on,’” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Be part of the opening night or come throughout the weekend. Starting on Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m. family short films ranging from animation to live action, followed by seven documentary films will be screened. Clearly there’s something for everyone. Films continue on into the night on Saturday and begin again Sunday. Visit bigeddyfilmfest.com or call 845/252-7576 for more details.

Couple of reminders: Our churches invite you to meet with your neighbors and share a free lunch each month. St. Paul’s hosts Katie’s Cafe on the first Saturday and St. Francis Xavier hosts Two Franks Cafe on the third Saturday of the month. Both serve starting at 12 noon. Come down and meet your neighbors.

Lastly, have you written your poem yet? Certainly one of our historic postcards will serve as an inspiration for all the poets out there. The deadline for submission has been extended to September 25. Email the postcard and poem to janeluchsinger@frontiernet.net.
