Our second wave of winter programs is in full swing here at The Fitz! Seeing happy faces at our events and programs reminds us why we’re here: to enrich our community and serve as a welcoming hub for all to enjoy.

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting a book signing with local author and illustrator Annette LeBlanc Cate in partnership with The Silver Unicorn Bookstore. It was such a joy to share Annette’s incredible work with everyone who attended!

We’re thrilled to announce that Annette will be leading two sessions of The Art of Illustration! These classes will guide children in transforming their imaginative ideas into captivating illustrations, bringing their art to life. We can’t wait to kick off these exciting programs later this month!

We’re so excited about what this year has in store, and we’re incredibly grateful to have kicked it off with the Pepperell Business Association’s Winter Wonderland Event last Friday!

A massive THANK YOU to all the planners and hosts who made it possible. We were thrilled to be part of such a fun event and can’t wait to see you all again soon.

Thank you to our amazing tenants and The Fitz Team for representing The Fitz Community Center so beautifully!
