The Wiscasset Parks & Recreation Department and the Midcoast Conservancy will have a fun morning of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing during Family Days, which runs Jan. 15, 22, and 29, and Feb. 5 and 12, from 9-11 a.m. at the Wiscasset Community Center, 242 Gardiner Road, Wiscasset.

On Jan. 15, there will be demo skis and snowshoes to try out for those who do not have their own gear. Group tours will be led on the grounds and trails behind the center. Attendees are encouraged to play in the snow, warm up by the fire, and enjoy the great outdoors. Everyone is welcome.

For more information and/or to volunteer, contact the department at 882-8230.

This group meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month from 9-11 a.m. It is an opportunity for parents to have a cup of coffee or tea, meet other parents, share ideas, and talk about parenting issues that are on their minds.

Child care is provided. Also, each participant receives a $15 gas card on his or her first visit.

January is Financial Wellness Month, appropriately timed to the confluence of New Year’s resolutions and holiday bills. It’s a time to set new goals for financial freedom and moderation in spending; for people to understand the benefits of “paying yourself first.” Discover the three simple questions you should ask yourself to assess how prepared you are to live well in retirement.
