Why is it so difficult to get a friend or loved one to stop abusing drugs and alcohol? What can a friend or family member do to prevent a serious problem?

At some point in their lives many people develop an interest in their ancestors. A lucky few will have access to existing information compiled by a relative, but the format of the information may be largely paper documents. Given the state of computing technology, communications technologies (e.g., the web), and genetic technology, modern genealogical efforts can be much more productive and rewarding than at any time before. This presentation will serve as a basic introduction to useful techniques and tools. It is not intended to be all-encompassing, but will help those with an interest get started on their own genealogical research. #GENE-W-15 Saturdays, Feb. 21 & Mar. 7 10:00 - 11:30 am $39 for 2 classes Central Middle School - Media Center Craig Rhombs

Legacy Letters A Priceless Gift Take some time to leave a priceless gift for your loved ones. Write a Legacy Letter to share your values, beliefs, faith, life lessons, wisdom, love and forgiveness in a document that is in addition to your Last Will and Testament. Your Legacy Letter passes on the life lessons of ancestors, and teaches something about the meaning of life that can be helpful to, and appreciated by, future generations. Students will be guided through this process with the use of a workbook, homework exercises and opportunities for discussion and feedback.

Catherine Manning, a trained facilitator of Legacy Letters will be guiding this workshop.

Joint Health Workshop: Have Stronger, Younger, Healthier Joints The human body contains 143 joints. Strong, flexible joints are needed for almost every activity we do – walking, lifting, bending, etc. Studies show that at any given time, 1/3 of all adults worldwide are experiencing some sort of joint pain. When your joints hurt, even simple movements become painful and that greatly lowers quality of life.

In this workshop, we’ll talk about: various causes of joint pain; treatments currently available; pros and cons of taking prescription drugs to mask pain; latest research information on nutrients that can help repair joints; results of a breakthrough study on gelatin; simple joint lubrication movements for hips, knees and shoulders to sooth those achy joints; a few important stretches to help relieve joint compaction and increase range of motion and a simple technique that’ll align joints and cut down on wear and tear.

Live Better By Simplifying Your Life

Defensive Driving for 55+ Refresher (4 hour)

In this class we’ll discuss how to live a richer, more meaningful life while reducing consumption, debt, and stress. Also known as voluntary simplicity, this lifestyle promotes de-cluttering, reducing spending on luxuries, being satisfied with what you need, not what you want, and freeing up more time for the really important things and people in your life. After a health scare in the 1980s, the instructor embraced these principles, left corporate America, and has lived a happier, simpler, more meaningful life.

Ages 55+

Probate: Understand It; Avoid It! Many people die without preparing important estate planning documents.

Estate Planning and Elder Law Attorney, Elizabeth Michaelis, will discuss the importance of planning to avoid probate, the different ways property is transferred when someone dies, and the reason having a Will does not avoid probate. #PROBATE-SP1-15 Thursday, Apr. 16 $15 for 1 class

Computer Tablets: What to Buy and How to Use Them

Joint Health Workshop: Have Stronger, Younger, Healthier Joints

Join us and learn what to look for when buying a tablet and why it’s important: Will a tablet do what you need it to do, or should you really buy a laptop? What should you look for? What should you avoid? What’s important in a tablet and what’s not? Apple or android; and what’s the difference? Does it have a camera and should you care? Will it connect to your TV, and more! If you already own a tablet, bring it with you to class and explore its uses. Whether you are thinking about buying a tablet or have one and want to learn more about it, join us for this fun and informative class!

The human body contains 143 joints. Strong, flexible joints are needed for almost every activity we do – walking, lifting, bending, etc. Unfortunately, studies show that at any given time, 1/3 of all adults worldwide are experiencing some sort of joint pain. When your joints hurt, even simple movements become painful and that greatly lowers quality of life. The good news is, your joints were meant to last a lifetime and studies are showing that you CAN reduce pain and restore your joints to a stronger, healthier condition. In this workshop, we’ll talk about: various causes of joint pain; treatments currently available; pros and cons of taking prescription drugs to mask pain; latest research information on nutrients that can help repair joints; results of a breakthrough study on gelatin; simple joint lubrication movements for hips, knees and shoulders to sooth those achy joints; a few important stretches to help relieve joint compaction and increase range of motion and a simple technique that’ll align joints and cut down on wear and tear.

What you do now greatly affects your health and well-being now and in the future. Nothing beats good health! In this workshop we’ll discuss simple steps you can take now to shave years off your bio age and help make every system in your body as healthy as possible.
