Come Again is a social respite program where people in early to middle stages of dementia spend time with trusted, trained volunteers in a safe, judgment-free space. We aim to bring joy, friendship, and purpose to everyone while giving care partners a chance to rest. Activities include fellowship, music, art, movement, and service projects, plus a hot lunch. Starting May 1, Come Again meets every Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm at Trinity United Methodist Church, 2311 Elizabeth Ave. There is a small fee to attend. Come Again honors our loved ones living with dementia by lifting up their remaining strengths in a supportive, creative and purposeful way. For more information about joining Come Again or volunteering, contact director Lindsay Roberts at lindsayroberts@newbernrespite.org, 919.428.0618 or www.newbernrespite.org.

The Beaufort Historical Association is excited to present Beaufort's annual Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball. This year’s ball draws inspiration from the 18th-century featuring a red, white, and blue theme in honor of America’s 250th birthday. It’s the spirit of 1776, Carnival of Venice, and New Orleans Mardi Gras rolled into one over-the top celebration! Guests are encouraged to break away from the traditional purple, green, and gold and instead celebrate with imaginative costumes and colors that reflect 1700s era patriotic characters or emblematic figures. Tickets include an open wine and beer bar, great food, and live music by the amazing Hustle Souls stage band. The costume ball kicks off Beaufort, North Carolina's popular Mardi Gras weekend of revelry on Friday evening, February 20th from 7PM-10PM. *All proceeds benefit Beaufort Historic Site services, maintenance, and educational programs
