Two Newtown residents will be the special guests during a pair of programs being offered Saturday morning at Newtown’s Multi-Purpose Center, 14 Riverside Road.

Karen Pierce will be the reader during the next Book Worms Story House at The Children’s Adventure Center. Ms Pierce is the author of Yoga Bear: Yoga For Youngsters, a yoga instructor and an educator. She has also been a storyteller for more than 30 years.

“I tell stories passed on from generations and sparking every child’s imagination,” she said.

At the same time, Dr Robert Grossman will be set up at Newtown Senior Center for the next “Ask The Doctor” program hosted by Newtown VNA. The public is invited to stop in to visit with Dr Grossman, a surgeon and medical examiner who is well versed in many areas of medicine. The longtime resident enjoys talking with and sharing medical information with people.

“I am grateful to the Newtown Visiting Nurse Association for giving me this opportunity to chat with local residents, and look forward to sharing information with them,” said Dr Grossman.

The VNA will serve coffee during the event.
