Veteran’s Day Celebration: Salute to Arnold Whittaker and the Soldiers that Liberated Europe Monday, November 12 | 10am - 12pm Free. Registration required. For the 2011 anniversary of D-Day, Vision Forum sponsored an unforgettable “Final Farewell Tour” of Normandy, journeying with Veterans back to the beaches where they fought seventy years ago. The three-day commemoration was both solemn and celebratory with special ceremonies on the beach fronts, cemeteries and battlefields. Our own Arnold Whittaker was one of those veterans. Arnold recently passed away so we didn’t have the chance to have him join us for our own commemoration of this event. His son-in-law, Brad Winkler, who traveled with Arnold to France, will be joining us to answer any of your questions. Please join us for our Veteran’s Day tribute! Healthy Holiday Eating for Diabetics Tuesday, November 13 | 11am – 12pm Free. Registration required. Holiday celebrations can pose a challenge for people with diabetes. Without a little pre-planning, you may risk throwing your diabetes off course. Join Leslie Strovas, Certified Nutritionist, and learn to plan ahead for a joyous holiday season.

Biography, Life Stories through Time: The Bielski Brothers Friday, November 16 | 10 – 11am Free. Registration required. During the darkest hours of World War II, three brothers achieved the impossible. They transformed persecution and violence into an incredible tale of affirmation and survival. Living in the Soviet Republic of Belorussia, Tuvia, Asael and Zus Bielski fled into the woods to escape the Nazis. There they built an elaborate village and rescued Jews. The forest haven included a bakery, communal bath, synagogue and even a theater company. Although they mounted guerrilla attacks against the enemy, their priority was saving their people. The Bielskis saved 1,200 men, women and children, easily the largest rescue of Jews by Jews during WWII. Come hear this marvelous and moving untold story.
