At the end of October, RVNAhealth's Registered Dietitian, Carmen Weber, led an inspiring cooking class focused on hearty, fall-inspired soups, stews, and chilis. 🍲🌟 Her talent for educating, inspiring, and empowering others through food truly reflects our mission in action!

✍️One participant shared this kind note about their experience:
"Carmen is an outstanding teacher. The wholesome, delicious food we made felt like a warm hug on a cold night. I was so impressed by her guidance and the way she made the entire cooking experience enjoyable and stress-free."

And if you're wondering what was on the menu:

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us at Cars & Coffee and made it such a memorable day! We really can’t do it without you – all the people who wake up early on a Sunday to make the drive and share their passion. We look forward to each event, and it’s gratifying to see all the enthusiasm from attendees. Watching the line of cars down Rt. 7 is a sight to see. The whole event is a labor of love, with many moving pieces behind the scenes – a team of drivers on Saturday to move all the cars off the lot (and another on Monday to bring them back!), a crew that comes in early on Sunday to set up tents, tables and banners, plus vendor coordination, marketing plans, and more.

Ridgefield Collection, our offsite collection of specialty vehicles (beyond BMWs) packed the showroom with unique vehicles, and our sister dealership, Genesis of Ridgefield, brought two vehicles, a GV80 and G90, both in the new limited Prestige Black trim.

This year’s turnout exceeded our expectations, and we estimate there were even more people than at our June event! Coffee and pastries from for 500 people didn’t even last until the end! (We’ll order more next time...) If only we could magically expand our parking lot to accommodate more participants.

Many thanks to AutoTechnic Racing, the racing team we sponsor, for bringing their full setup and four racecars! Their participation adds a unique layer to the day, and we appreciate their time.

This year we welcomed some of the local non-profits we are proud to support – hopefully you got a chance to visit their tables and hear more about their mission. In case you didn’t, please be sure to check them out: Regional Hospice, RVNAhealth, Daily Bread Food Pantry, and Make-A-Wish Connecticut

New this year, a visit from the Ridgefield Volunteer Fire Department, who handed out toy helmets to our youngest attendees. If you’re interested in joining their team, contact them via their page.

Also in attendance, CT Valley BMW CCA. If you’re interested in joining, there are many benefits (including discounts when you purchase your next BMW), which you can learn more about on their website.

Again, our sincere thanks to our wonderful community of enthusiasts! We hope to see you at the next one, Sunday, June 21, 2026.

P.S. If you’re interested in joining our team, Keeler Motor Car Company (our parent company) is hiring for all positions across multiple locations. Check out current openings here: https://www.keeler.com/careers.htm

📝Medicare Explained: Understanding Your Options📋

✨FREE EVENT✨
📅Tuesday, October 21, 2025
⌚10:30AM-12:00PM
📌RVNAhealth, 27 Governor St, Ridgefield, CT

If you’ve started thinking about Medicare, or you’ve been thinking about it for a while but still feel confused, you are not alone.

Every fall, millions of Americans try to make sense of Medicare enrollment: what it is, when to sign up, how to avoid penalties, and which path is best. And while the alphabet soup of Medicare — A, B, C, D — hasn’t changed much, the options can feel complicated.

That’s why RVNAhealth is once again hosting Medicare Explained: Understanding Your Options, a free, in-person presentation designed to bring clarity to a confusing system.

This Medicare Explained session will be led by Michael Bush, a trusted Medicare educator with decades of experience helping individuals and families make smart, confident choices.

Whether you’re turning 65, reviewing your current plan, or helping a parent or spouse, this Medicare information session is for you.
