Board Game Night
Friday, August 15th at 6:30pm

Please join us for Game Night on the 3rd Friday monthly from 6:30 to 9:30 (may run later to finish up games as needed). Bring your games, or play ours! We will provide chess, checkers, cards, and a variety of board or card games including but not limited to: Settlers of Catan, Set, Evolution, Castles of Burgundy, Ticket to Ride, Wingspan, Splendor, Azul, and many more! We have a solid Magic: The Gathering contingent as well! People of all ages and abilities are welcome, but most provided games are suitable for people 12 and older, so please bring games suitable for younger children if they are joining in on the fun. We hope to share knowledge and find like minded people who love to game.

Game night is free although a $5 suggested donation is appreciated to help keep Rotterdam Community Center up and running. Minors under 13 need to be accompanied by an adult. Unaccompanied minors need a virtual permission slip completed beforehand that can be found at https://bit.ly/MLCEventPermission

We hope to see you soon!

History Night: The History of GE
Saturday, August 30th at 7:00pm

At the turn of the 20th century, Schenectady was a booming industrial power: the city that “Lights and Hauls the World.” This lecture explores this period, the figures and factories that made it so dynamic. We’ll look beyond the nostalgia and seek differing perspectives on Schenectady’s halcyon days in partnership with our friends of the Schenectady County Historical Society.
