Great things sometimes happen by accident, and that is true of many things in life, including astronomy. There are numerous incidents in astronomy where something unexpected is suddenly revealed far beyond the original scope of the research. Some of the most important and spectacular discoveries in astronomy were not the result of carefully planned experiments, but came from unintended results. Join us for armchair astronomy and learn about some of science’s great findings.
Join Chris Epting and discover the vibrant rock ‘n’ roll history of Orange County, where surf music was born and legends like Elvis once roamed.

Federico Barone will discuss chronic pain, sudden pain and post-workout soreness, the differences between them and how to manage them safely to keep up with a regular fitness routine.
Join Elizabeth Kaye, award-winning author, editor and dance historian. Via Zoom, she explores the scope and impact of American Ballet in the last century and this one.

At The Covington
One of our favorite and most popular nights of the Schumacher Concert Series is The Fabulous Follies, the much-anticipated resident-led variety show. There is so much talent in our community. Astounding, hilarious, and mesmerizing, the evening was filled with skits, poems, dancing, and singing. It was a night of laughter, enchantment, and standing ovations. Bravo!
At The Covington
There are lots of great cooks counted among the residents of The Covington, so when our Chef Chad Krahling led a demonstration on how to make Bananas Foster, there were many interested in learning. The smell of the melted butter and brown sugar had mouths watering and attendees were rewarded with some delicious warm samples to taste and savor.
At The Covington
The Schumacher Concert Series recently welcomed back the David Benoit Trio for another fantastic performance. We have been so lucky to have this group grace our stage for the past three years, and once again, they did not disappoint. David is a virtuoso pianist. He and his bandmate played a hypnotic combination of jazz standards with a bit of classical flair thrown in for good measure.
At The Covington
An always-popular event is Social Hour. On the last Friday of every month, residents get together in Schumacher Hall for happy hour. This pre-dinner gathering includes appetizers and drinks, and musical entertainment. It’s a wonderful time to connect and enjoy the music before moving into dinner when conversations and laughter continue.
Outings
Residents of The Covington love their food and wine, so a recent visit to Europa Village Winery was a popular event. Named California Winery of the Year by the California State Fair Association, Europa Village Winery in Temecula Valley Wine Country is the perfect blend of old world charm and new world vibrancy. The group had a wonderful tour of the property then enjoyed a fantastic wine tasting. Absolutely beautiful, absolutely delicious.
Outings
Residents recently spent a day in the field at Descanso Gardens, a beautiful 150-acre estate in La Cañada Flintridge filled with cultivated gardens and natural landscapes. It boasts many rare and indigenous plant species and is nationally accredited as a museum of living collections. Residents roamed the grounds for more than two hours before meeting up for a well deserved lunch.
