A new seminar titled “Online Banking 101” will provide participants with information on how to use Internet banking to save time and money.

Every Thursday throughout the summer, The Watermark will host a knitting group open to both men and women. Members of the group work hard to create and knit more than 500 hats and mittens, which are donated to Bridgeport nonprofit organizations during the winter. The class is open to all levels of knitters and is at 10 a.m. every Thursday.
