For ages 55+-- Facilitated by: Susan Kates, LICSW -- The winter holiday season is often touted as "the most wonderful time of the year.” However, for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one, the holidays can be a time filled with sadness, loneliness and grief. This workshop offers the opportunity for people to meet with others who are coping with loss and find connections and comfort through the grieving experience. The program will be led by Susan Kates, Social Worker from Good Shepherd Community Care. SPACE IS LIMITED - REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Call: 508-532-5980

For ages 55+ -- Performed by: The Delvena Theatre Company -- In this three-person, live performance, Eleanor shares some of her most private and meaningful moments including: her lonely childhood; her joyous courtship/marriage with her fifth cousin, Franklin, her devastation at Franklin's love affair with her social secretary, her resolve to make him president after his polio diagnosis, her involvement in his presidency, and her eventual triumph at the United Nations. Truly Eleanor takes a candid look at our greatest First Lady's courage and at her great contributions to human rights and liberty for all. The Delvena Theatre Company was founded in 1992 and has performed at various venues, most often at the Boston Center for the Arts. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Framingham Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, and in part by the Rosanne Bergman Trust.

For ages 55+ -- Presented by: John Gardella -- This program will examine the Congress of Vienna following Napoleon’s defeat in 1815; the rise of conservatism, liberalism and nationalism which lead to the revolutions of 1830, 1848 and the unification of both Germany and Italy in 1871. A group discussion will follow examining how nationalism can be a force for unifying or dividing a nation.
