Drumming is more than keeping the beat to a song. It actually has therapeutic qualities, and people can experience this aspect with a drum circle for adults on Saturday, June 17 at 2 p.m.

Master Drummer Deborah Kehoe will lead the program based on REMO Health Rhythms for adults. She said hand drumming has the ability to create a state of joy, reduce stress and release anger. No experience is necessary; drums and shakers are provided.
