Connecting Through Community

Newark Valley Community Connection– Weekly Recap & Peak at Upcoming Events

These first few weeks of January have been filled with joy, energy, and community spirit at Newark Valley Community Connection. Our Brunch with Lessons and Carols, featuring the talented Valley Harmony and special guest Greg Keller, was a phenomenal success! The room was filled with warmth and smiles as friends, and neighbors came together to enjoy delicious food and uplifting music. Events like this remind us of how special our community is, and it inspires us to keep creating opportunities for people to connect.

Our Beginner Line Dance Class was equally exciting, drawing participants of all ages and skill levels. From seasoned dancers to first-timers, everyone had fun learning the steps and enjoying the lively energy of the evening. It’s always inspiring to see our community come together for events that bring joy, movement, and new connections.
