As the leaves turn and fall settles in, there’s no better time to connect with your community, explore new talents, and celebrate the season together! Newark Valley Community Connection is buzzing with activity, and we’ve got something for everyone—from creativity and learning to dancing, music, and Halloween chills.

✨ Sterling Silver Success! We recently hosted another Sterling Silver Jewelry Workshop, with our talented board member and jewelry expert, Marsha, and it was a sparkling success! Participants learned the basics of metalsmithing, from shaping and soldering to polishing their own handcrafted sterling silver pieces. The class brought out incredible creativity and camaraderie—and due to the enthusiastic response, we’re excited to announce a full metalsmithing course will be offered in the near future. Stay tuned for details!
