2024-03-22 17:30 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Miacomet Golf Club, 12 W Miacomet Rd, Nantucket, MA, 02554, United States
In a world buzzing with technology and velocity, the age-old charm of Nantucket’s Miacomet Golf Club beckons the island’s esteemed seniors for an evening of warmth and connection. The setting, picturesque as always, mirrors the tranquil soul of Nantucket with its sprawling grounds and manicured greens. Yet, the true beauty lies in the purpose of the gathering — reconnecting, recounting old tales, and forging new memories.
There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about the coming together of elderly residents at Nantucket’s Miacomet Golf Club. It harks back to the days of simpler entertainments, of meals meant to be savored, and of the sheer joy of communal experiences. The wisdom and experiences shared over dinners like these are an invaluable asset, binding the community tightly.
RSVP for an event that promises more than dinner — it offers a taste of Nantucket’s soul. Call (508) 228-4490 to reserve your seat at the table. $15 cash for dinner, cash bar.

Monday at the Movies: The Bucket List
2024-03-11 16:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Saltmarsh Center, 81 Washington Street
“The Bucket List”—a touching exploration of life’s closing chapters—is a touching 2007 film that melds comedy with drama, masterfully directed by the acclaimed Rob Reiner. Written by the imaginative Justin Zackham, this poignant tale is brought to life by the dynamic duo Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, whose on-screen chemistry captivates audiences. There will be a pre-screening of a local short film called “New Year’s Eve” starring Paul Connors, produced by John Copenhaver.
At its core, the film unfolds an inspiring narrative of two men bound by a shared fate—terminal illness. In a quest filled with humor, heart, and the human spirit, they set off on a transformative road trip armed only with their bold wish list of experiences to savor before the inevitable, affectionately dubbed as “kicking the bucket.”
December 15, 2007, marked the film’s Hollywood premiere, unfurling its magic in a limited U.S. release on the joyous occasion of Christmas Day by Warner Bros. Capturing the hearts of audiences, it broadened to a wide release on January 11, 2008. Though met with varied critical viewpoints, the film resonated with many, earning a spot among the National Board of Review’s top ten films of the year. Its commercial triumph was no less notable, soaring to the #1 spot on the U.S. box office charts and amassing a global haul of $175.4 million.
“The Bucket List,” more than just a film, invites viewers on a compelling cinematic adventure that stirs the soul and leaves an indelible imprint on our collective understanding of friendship, dreams, and the significance of every ticking moment.
Join us and members; please bring a guest and have a chance to win a pie from The Nantucket Bake Shop! Free popcorn is included.

“Kyrgyzstan, a country on the ancient silk road, and a former Soviet Republic opened its arms to the Peace Corps in the early nineties. I joined the PC in 2004 and was assigned to work in a non governmental organization in the old silk road city of Osh. The experience of living with a family of another culture, speaking a foreign language, surviving a revolution and ultimately landing in a teaching position in a university were life changing for me. My two years there marked a significant shift in my own life and my view of the world. It was one of the hardest things that I have done, but I would not change it for anything.” —John Copenhaver
Come and join us at the Saltmarsh on Wednesday, January 24th at 4 pm for an inspiring talk by John Copenhaver: From Wall Street to the Silk Road— A Journey of self-discovery.
