Lunch
and Learn program Nov. 6 at Oasis
The Area Agency on Aging for Lincolnland, in
cooperation with Senior Citizens of Logan County, has scheduled a Lunch and
Learn program for informal caregivers of older adults and grandparents and
other relatives raising children. It will be at the Oasis Senior Center, 501
Pulaski St. in Lincoln, on Nov. 6 from noon to 1 p.m.
Jamie Freschi, regional long-term care ombudsman, will present
information regarding "Residents' Rights in Long-Term Care
Facilities."
Lunch will be provided, and preregistration is
required. There is no charge to attend.
This presentation is part of a series of Lunch and Learn
programs. The goal of the series is to provide practical information
that will help caregivers continue to provide quality care to others
while maintaining balance in their own lives.
Informal caregivers are those unpaid people such as family
members, friends and neighbors who provide assistance to someone who
is to some degree incapacitated and in need of help with tasks such
as grocery shopping, bill paying, cooking or personal care.
Grandparents or other relatives raising grandchildren are those who
have accepted primary responsibility for raising one or more
children through age 18.
To register or to learn more about this program, contact the Area
Agency on Aging for Lincolnland at 217-787-9234 or 800-252-2918.

Elkhart Historical Society presents 'Christmas According to
Hollywood'
ELKHART -- In early
November, the Elkhart Historical Society will present "Christmas According
to Hollywood." The presentation will explore favorite Christmas movies and
some little-known facts about them in an evening of relaxation, laughter and
a meal at the Wild Hare Café before the holiday rush begins.
The event will be on Nov. 9 at 5:30
p.m.Each Christmas we
immerse ourselves in sentimentality brought to us courtesy of
Hollywood. The modern history of Christmas has included many
sentimental, poignant and funny movies, from Jimmy Stewart in "It's
a Wonderful Life" to Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye in "White
Christmas." We enjoy watching Scrooge from "A Christmas Carol" and
the eternally optimistic, yet cursed Clark Griswold from "National
Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Who can forget "A Christmas Story"
with Darren McGavin and the reminiscing about that first BB gun and
sometimes a "confession" to admiring or even owning the leg lamp
that gave McGavin's character so much delight.
The cost for the evening is $25 per
person.
For reservations, call
217-947-2238. Reservation forms may be downloaded from
www.elkharthistoricalsociety.org, or pick up a reservation form
at Horsefeathers in Elkhart.
