On the Menu at Scofield Manor
Christmas Spirit in Abundance

On Tuesday, December 16 the Yale Club of Lower Fairfield County sponsored a roast beef Christmas lunch for residents of Scofield Manor, an assisted living residential care home in Stamford, CT.  Notable among the guests was an octogenarian newlywed couple who had recently eloped from a nursing home in a neighboring town. 

A rousing round of Christmas carols led by our president Ed Greenberg, accompanied by Joe Holmes on the keyboard, brought abundant holiday spirit to the occasion.

A trip back to Yale without leaving Stamford. Two of Yale's most popular courses and teachers were part of the Jewish Community Center's "College Class Day." Psychology Professor Paul Bloom delivered "But Is It Art?" a class discussing why we like the art we like. Yale music professor James Hepokoski taught "Ode To Joy: Then and Now" a class on Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and its surprising influence today.
