• Do butterflies really whisper messages from heaven? "The Butterfly Club: Is That You?” shares the inspiring true-life stories illustrating “the butterfly phenomenon,” in which countless people have experienced the perfect timing of a butterfly surrounding them with such an undeniable presence of a loved one who has died, that they were moved to ask, “Is That You?” Signs, whether a butterfly, red cardinal or dragon fly, are like a sweet visit that allows you to feel the hope and comfort of knowing your loved ones are okay and safe. Please join author Phyllis Calvey at Stillwater Books, 175 Main St., from 2 to 4 p.m. for an inspirational event.
