Session 1 on April 9 will be "How to age with purpose and meaning—elder care options in our community" and will be led by Joanne Corbett, a clinical social worker heading up the new ESI Center for Positive Aging. The program will be hosted by The Residence at Otter Creek from 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

This session will occur a second time on May 14th from 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. in the EastView at Middlebury community room.

Session 2 on Tuesday, April 23 will be "Telephone and Computer Scams that target the elderly" presented by retired Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley. Falling victim to a telephone or computer scam can happen to anyone—but members of our elderly community are the most vulnerable. Chief Hanley will provide his perspective on this issue and specific strategies you can use to keep yourself or your loved ones from becoming victims of this type of scam. This program will be hosted by the National Bank of Middlebury/New Horizons Club from 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.

Session 3 on Tuesday, April 30 will be the showing of the film "Keys Bags Names Words" in the community room at the Ilsley Library from 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.. This documentary shifts the narrative of fear and hopelessness about dementia to hope and action. It deals with what we can do as individuals to reduce our risk of developing dementia how to connect meaningfully with our loved ones living with dementia. This film is not a lament to loss, but an inspiring celebration of the human spirit.

Session 4 on Thursday, May 23 will be "You are not alone—caring for an aging loved one with memory loss" presented by Eileen Lawson, a geriatric social worker with Elderly Services. She will discuss tips for everyday living with a person who has memory loss and review the variety of helping options for aging individuals and answer questions about cost and affordability.
