Everyone was sad to see the winter storm cancel our holiday potluck dinner and evening with Hand Reading specialist, Laurence Carabine. So, good news! The ASC Board has decided to celebrate the "other" solstice by rescheduling the lecture and potluck dinner for June 19, 2008. This longest evening of the year is a wonderful time for astrologers to get together and share. So, get out your recipes for summer's induction!

LECTURE
JUNE SPEAKER LAURANCE CARABINE
Lecture
June 19, 2008 7:00 pm
Kenney Center, Wethersfield
Hand
Reading the Astrological Way
Not just palmistry, hand reading
uses the whole hand – front, back, wrists and joints to correlate
significant information concerning the essence of a person. Examination
of the hands reveals character, personality, relationships, as well as
significant information regarding the person’s past, present and
future. Larry will link hand reading to astrology, weaving in wit and
wisdom along the way.
Based in Springfield, MA, Larry
has been studying and practicing hand reading for over thirty years.
With a start in Graphology (hand writing analysis), he eventually
discovered that the creator of the writing, the hand, turned out to be a
much richer and complete study of human personality. He is available for
private parties, fairs (including our New Age Fairs) and other events.
NOTE: Non-member attendance fee waived for Solstice Party & Lecture!

ASC
COOKBOOK
Debby Vincelett, Coordinator
Email contact: cookbook@myasc.org
We're considering producing and selling a cookbook with an astrological
bent. If you have any recipes you'd like to include, whether astrology
related or no, please send them to the above email address. We're still
in the initial stages so we need anything and everything. Include the
recipe, a little description of it, i.e., "This is a family recipe given
to me by my Aunt that we shared every time we got together." Please
do let us know the source of the recipe. If you always make this at a
solstice or equinox or during the strawberry season of Gemini (hey ... that's
now) state that!
|
BOOK SALE
We're going to have another used book sale soon, so please hold on to your
unwanted astrology, metaphysical, spiritual books. We're hoping for the
August New Age Fair but are still working on the logistics of gathering and
storing. Stay tuned!

Hello everyone!
For the last couple of years, the
ASC has offered an incentive bonus for members who sent in their renewals
BEFORE the season's first lecture. We are repeating this offer for
the 2008-2009 season. The bonus card that is sent to each member who
takes advantge of the early renewal offers three choices: half-price on
an astrological reading at one of our New Age Fairs; $5 off the
already-discounted price for members to one of the ASC's workshops;
or a free lecture guest-pass which can be given to someone as a gift.
Membership renewal forms for 2008-2009 will be available to be picked up at
the upcoming June lecture.
As Membership Chair, one of my many jobs is to try to make sure that we are addressing the needs and wants of the membership. If you have any ideas or suggestions for improvements, or any constructive criticism, please write, call, or e-mail me and let me know what’s on your mind.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or otherwise, please call, write, or e-mail me. We are glad that you have joined us again for another fun, educational, and inspirational season, and I look forward to seeing you at one of our lectures or hearing from you!
