  Arthur Avenue Mauro Tour  

  

  For those who’ve never been, but have always dreamed of going to Arthur Avenue, yet don't know where to go... this intimate, introductory Arthur Avenue Mauro Tour is for you! 

  Arthur Avenue? 

  Arthur Avenue is one of New York City's most storied and delicious neighborhoods. It's known as the "real Little Italy" of the Bronx and is home to generations of bakers, butchers, pasta makers, and restaurateurs who’ve kept authentic Italian traditions alive. 

  The Mauro Tour? 

  Mauro was the father of our very own Encore member Christina Cappitella Bartels. For decades, Christina's dad took his children, relatives, and friends on an annual tour of Arthur Avenue. His tour! His way! His favorite spots! No detours! No side-excursions! No negotiation! :) Christina has generously offered to continue her dad's tradition by bringing "The Mauro Tour" to Encore! This introductory tour is your chance to experience the flavors, the history, and the atmosphere that make Arthur Avenue so special. It's perfect for those who have never been to Arthur Avenue and don't know how to get started.   

  Details:

  • Date: Thursday, October 23rd.
  • Schedule: Meet at Waveny Park at 10am. Depart at 10:15am sharp. Visit Arthur Avenue from approximately 11:15am - 1:30pm. Return to Waveny Park at ~ 2:45pm.
  • Cost: Pay as you explore Arthur Avenue (pizza, cannoli, drinks, etc.) PLUS $5.00 cash for your driver (gas contribution)
  • Limited to 8 people -- however, if there is additional interest, Christina has offered to do The Mauro Tour more than once, so we will have a waiting list with a future date TBD.
  • Transportation: Carpool ONLY (2 cars of 4 people each)
  • Note: Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes. There will be plenty of walking and standing (!) while we are on Arthur Avenue.

  The Encore On the Go! team can’t wait to share a taste of Arthur Avenue with you!

  The following two movies will be discussed and then rated:

  Emilia Perez: An audacious fever dream that defies genres and expectations. Through liberating song and dance and bold visuals, this odyssey follows the journey of four remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness. The fearsome cartel leader Emilia (Karla Sofía Gascón) enlists Rita (Zoe Saldaña), an unappreciated lawyer stuck in a dead-end job, to help fake her death so that Emilia can finally live authentically as her true self. Can Be Seen On: Netflix

  F1: Dubbed "the greatest that never was," Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1's most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he's a nomadic racer-for-hire when he's approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Can Be Seen On: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango At Home

  Event Details:

  • Each attendee is asked to bring either an appetizer or dessert.

  Encore Book Group

  The October meeting of the Encore Book Group will be held at 1:30, Monday, October 27, 2025, downstairs at Lapham.  We will be discussing "We All Live Here by Jojo Moyes" by Jojo Moyes. 464 Pages, published in 2025, Women's Divorce Fiction.

  

  Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in. Her career is in freefall, and her love life is complicated. So when her real dad— man she has barely seen since he ran off to Hollywood thirty-five years ago—suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach you about love, and what it actually means to be family.

  This is a moving, realistic look at one woman's post divorce family life that manages to be both poignant and funny.

  There is always a lively discussion.  You can contact Anne Sutcliffe. If you get on the email list, you can be alerted to any changes in the schedule or venue and book availability.

  Health & Wellness Group 

  Energy House Clearing & Saging

  Wednesday, October 29
  6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
  New Canaan Library, Tate Conference Room (upstairs)

  Presented by our own Encore member, Lisa Labozzo, 
  Certified Reiki Master

  Your home holds more than just furniture—it carries the energy of everyone and everything that has passed through it. Over time, these energies can become heavy, stagnant, or unsettling, especially in spaces where there has been illness, grief, conflict, or simply high traffic. Just like physical cleaning, energetic clearing is a vital form of spiritual hygiene.

  What it is: Energy House Clearing with Reiki and sage combines two powerful practices:

  • Saging (smudging): Burning sage (or other sacred herbs) helps dissolve stagnant or negative energy, purifying the air and uplifting the vibration of your home.
  • Reiki energy clearing: Reiki infuses your space with universal healing energy, balancing the environment and filling it with light, harmony, and peace.

  When to consider a clearing:

  • Moving into a new home or office
  • After disagreements, illness, or emotional turmoil
  • Following a major life change (divorce, loss, new beginning)
  • Seasonal resets or when the space feels “heavy”
  • Preparing your home for sale to welcome new energy

  Benefits you may feel:

  • ✨ A lighter, calmer atmosphere
  • ✨ Improved sleep and relaxation
  • ✨ Release of old attachments and lingering emotions
  • ✨ A higher vibration that supports your well-being
  • ✨ A fresh, welcoming energy for you, your family, or potential buyers

  Why it matters:

  Your home is your sanctuary. Clearing away old, stagnant energy allows you to fully step into a new chapter with clarity, peace, and positivity. It’s like opening the windows of your soul—welcoming in light, love, and fresh beginnings.

  Space is limited, waitlist available

  CONSCIENCE

  Written by Joe DiPietro - Directed by Alexander Kulcsar

  In the 1950s, as Senator Joseph McCarthy lies and bullies his way to power, the only Republican senator with the courage to challenge him is Margaret Chase Smith of Maine. Conscience is the story of a remarkable woman who stood up for what was right and refused to back down.

  “CONSCIENCE presents a slice of history, one that will resonate with a modern audience. The show portrays an insightful view of McCarthyism while thoughtfully addressing themes of women in politics, the dangers of demagoguery, and how truth and reason must prevail in society.” —Broadway World.

  “A timely boxing match of a history play.” – NY Times

  Tickets $21.
