Announcements and Calendar for the Week of May 29

LECTURES ON REINCARNATION: Bob Kirk will be returning to Palmer Hall in the Woodstock Historical Society Building for a series of three Thursday night lectures on reincarnation early in June. Bob gave these lectures last fall at QVCC as part of their Learning-in-Retirement program, and is now offering them here in town in the evening so friends and neighbors can attend. Bob will examine evidence for reincarnation in his first lecture “Three Compelling Cases” on June 2nd; he will discuss “Karma” on June 9th; and he will conclude the series with “Carol Bowman’s ‘Tour of Heaven’” on June 16th. The lectures will begin at 7:30 p.m., and are free and open to the public.
