Dear Tolles Parsons Members,

We are finalizing the registration for May and June online fitness classes.  We will have at least one offering per day.  Some will be free and some will be fee based. We look forward to having you sign up for these classes and the other programs we are working on for the next two months. Registration online and over the phone will begin sometime next week.

After much consideration we are cancelling the Senior Art Show which would have been held in June at the Wellesley Main Library. All artists who expressed an interest will be notified. At this time we do not have details about alternate plans or dates. Thank you for your interest and understanding.
