Caregivers Circle
2026-06-16 11:00 - 12:00
This monthly, one hour gathering is for those who are caring for and supporting a loved one alongside an illness or aging, or perhaps have recently lost someone. This is a time just for you, to be in community and connection with others who understand.
The gathering is led by Grief Coach and Educator, Barri Leiner Grant, Founder of The Memory Circle (www.thememorycircle.com) for grief and loss. Barri supports grievers in her work and spent ten years as a caregiver for her father Neil who lived with Alzheimer’s.
Barri encourages attendees to express their feelings and take notice of the beauty in the world through guided writing prompts. As one attendee wrote: “I was intimidated about getting my thoughts and feelings on paper, especially around caregiving. Barri put me at ease with her warmth and honesty. Through guiding prompts and poems I wrote simply and clearly about my feelings. I left with new ideas for connecting with myself and bringing clarity to the challenges I face as a caregiver. I can’t wait for the next session!”

2026-06-16 19:00 - 20:00
If you have yet to start collecting Social Security and want to make smart, informed choices about when and how to claim benefits, then this class is for you!

Social Security is complicated, and the new Social Security Fairness Act of 2025 could change the rules even more. This class will explain everything in plain, easy-to-understand language and walk through real-life case studies so you can see how different decisions play out. You’ll learn how key factors like your age, marital status, work history, and long-term goals affect your benefits—and how to avoid common and costly mistakes.
We’ll cover: How spousal and survivor benefits really work, what the new law could mean for your Social Security, and the pros and cons of different claiming strategies. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or widowed, this session will give you the confidence and clarity you need to make the best Social Security decision for you.
The seminar will be led by Lucretia Ryan, of FinancialFreedomforWomen.org. She is a financial writer, educator, and philanthropist, dedicated to helping women make financial decisions that are in their best interest.
