BargainView: Welcome 2023!
By Monica Barber
Happy New Year! From my home to yours I send my best wishes to you all for 2023. Ms. M finds herself enjoying a glass of kombucha this afternoon thinking about what the New Year will bring. Every year people hope to bring change to their lives with resolutions. Here are a few everyday things to try out, if you haven’t yet, and most won’t put a pinch in your budget.
Knowledge is one of the great ways to bring about change in your life. Try on a new hat by taking a class with Modesto Junior College’s Community Education this spring term. It’s never too early or late to pick up a new skill, try out a new hobby or meet new people. There are classes for all ages & simple to sign up for. Info: www.mjc4life.org
Music much like yoga is a great way to get to know your body and still the mind. Elevate yoga is hosting a musical evening, Bedtime Stories: A cozy night of live music and community with Eli Allsup and Heaven Lindsey-Burtch on January 13th. This is the first musical event of the year at Elevate Community Yoga. The event is $10 in advance and $15 at the door. This is a family-friendly event and attendees are encouraged to bring the kiddos. 14 & under are free. https://www.elevatecommunityyoga.com/
Poetry lovers seeking events can look no further than their desktop, Most Poetry Center Second Tuesday reading is available via Zoom. Through a communal Livestream, MOST invite everyone to enjoy the Second Tuesday Poetry reading. The January 10th event starts at 7 pm and is a free Zoom that will feature poets Susan Cohen and Brad Buchanan. RSVP & Zoom information: https://www.mostpoetry.org/
Amazement is a great way to stay in touch with your inner spirit and revitalize when you take in a bit of excitement and delight. Gallo Arts presents the works of the renowned Peking Acrobats at the Gallo Center on January 29th. An evening of wonderments will leave you invigorated with the music and skills of this talented troupe! Tickets are $15-45. Info: http://www.galloarts.org/
