"Off the Charts", a Portland-based jazz quartet, will be playing the last Sunday of each month through May 2025 at brunch at Lenny's Pub, Hawkes Plaza, 1274 Bridgton Road, Westbrook, ME. Brunch is from 10-2; music, 11 to 1:30.

“Off the Charts” is Kenny Gaspar, piano and trumpet; Rick Bernard, bass; Rusty Quinn, drums; and Mike Banas, guitar. While their influences include everything from Bebop to Blues to Chet Baker, their primary repertoire is drawn from that genre of music known as the “Great American Songbook” – the canon of significant early 20th century jazz standards and pop tunes (Ellington, Porter, Kern, Mercer, Arlen, et al.)

Enhance strength, balance and body awareness in this classical Pilates series at the JCA.

Participants are welcome to attend any number of classes in the series. Yoga mats will be provided, but participants are also welcome to bring their own. No prior experience is necessary; all abilities are welcome, ages 13+. Class punch cards are available for purchase at the front desk. With a punch card, you buy 10 classes and get the 11th class for free! Punch cards never expire and may be redeemed for any class with Becca Asen at the JCA.

General public - $15 per class | JCA members - $12 per class.

Maximum of 10 students per class

Come see Lori's studio and her newest art...some encaustic (pigmented beeswax) paintings as well as lots of new acrylics. Her paintings are an exploration of the magic of color and movement. She hopes her work reflects a deep respect for our planet and it's beauty and the significance of the connection between all living things, including us!! There will be prints and a sale wall as well. Live jazz guitar by Tony Gaboury and friends! Yummy snacks! Mark your calendars now!
