The Friends of the Union Meeting Hall are thrilled to be hosting Atkins Tree Stand at the Union Meeting Hall this holiday season! So, before you head out, don't forget to pick up your tree! 

Their hours are Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 5pm and weekdays 3pm to 6pm. These gorgeous trees tend to go quickly, so get yours before they are gone! 

Some of the most beautiful moments in life—the ones we immediately know are special—tend to defy explanation.

We've all had magical, magnificent experiences that challenge the boundaries of what we believe is possible. More often than not, when faced with such improbable beauty, we are forced to choose between two worlds: one that is full of magic and one devoid of it. There is rarely room for both in the narratives that prevail over our culture.

My Dentist's Son is a place for stories that don't fit. A space where we can share the mystical experiences we are graced with—big or small—and have them held and anchored in community. A space where these cherished moments are met with acceptance, awe, respect, and gratitude.

If you have a story you'd like to share, or are eager to be in the company of those that do, we welcome you on Sunday, December 7th from 3pm-4:30pm at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall. Join us as we remind each other just how magical this world really is.

Join the Friends of the Meeting Hall for our monthly Programming Committee Meeting! The Committee meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 7pm to 8pm to discuss and plan upcoming and future programming and events.  

We welcome anyone to join this Committee, and you don't have to be a Ferrisburgh resident to join!

The meeting for the month of December will be via Zoom. The link for the meeting will be posted here soon!

Students K-6 are invited to join Handiwork Studio for 90-minute art sessions filled with instruction and practice, where we’ll explore art through time, famous artists, the elements of art, diverse media, and inspiring art books.
