Let’s walk the red carpet at Dickinson Hall’s first-ever Pre-Oscar party! Pose for
the paparazzi on the red carpet and then enjoy appetizers and wine/beer while we
watch the trailers featuring the Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Actor
categories. Due to late release dates, we won’t be able to show the full films on
Mondays, but look for a series of Oscar nods and winners on the movie list this
spring! While we’re watching the trailers we’ll cast our ballots for Dickinson’s
Oscar picks! It will be fun to see if our opinions line up with the Academy’s!

Hello, Everyone!
I am Katie, the Program Assistant
here at Dickinson Hall. I love the start
of a new year! I definitely need a
reset after a very busy holiday
season. Between parties with family
and friends and parties here at
Dickinson Hall, I feel like I’m a
professional party thrower and goer!
I’m ready for a reset and a refocus on
myself and my self-care. I am
inspired by the list of resolutions that
are listed on page 6. My husband
and I regularly walk our dog, Bullet, in
the evenings but these chilly nights
have kept all three of us cuddled on
the couch! I’m ready to get back out
there! Last year I made an effort to
reconnect with friends I’ve lost touch
with. It was such a rewarding goal to
meet! During these wintery months I
like to challenge myself with a jigsaw
puzzle or two. I’ll have to mix it up in
the spring with some brain teasers!
I’m also ready for a new year at
Dickinson Hall! As the Program
Assistant, it’s my job to make sure
that events and planning goes off
without a hitch under Tricia’s
supervision. I’d like to think we’re a
dream team. Planning trips and
throwing parties along with the simple
day-to-day is a joy with her and the
rest of the Dickinson team!
Here’s to another great year!
Katie
