Memoir Writing Circle
Meets the 4th Tuesday of each month from 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm, in the cafe.
This group meets once a month. Members read aloud pieces prepared beforehand. A monthly prompt is provided for inspiration, but there is no requirement to use it. Members can write about anything they like. Pieces may include memoir-style writing, essays, or even, occasionally, fiction. This is not a “workshop” style group. We meet simply to enjoy one another’s stories, although there is usually a brief comments/questions discussion following each reading. The group is suitable for writers of all levels and experience.
This is an open and supportive group. Please contact Eileen Myers at emyers176@yahoo.com for more information or to become part of the group.
Senior Social Hour
Meets every Fourth Friday 10:30 am-12:00 pm
Join us once a month for Senior Social Hour! Get to know your neighbor in a casual setting with light refreshments, music, games, puzzles, chit-chat, and a monthly presentation or activity. Make new friends and find connections with your fellow senior patrons at the library.
Medicare
Douglas Keene, the PA MEDI (Medicare Education and Decision Insight) coordinator for Montgomery County, wants our patrons to know that state-trained PA MEDI volunteer counselors have always offered free, unbiased easy-to-understand information about the best plans for health coverage for Medicare recipients. Counselors are available at (610) 834-1040 ext. 120 to return calls and assist people with their Medicare concerns. In addition, PA MEDI has put a number of informative Medicare presentations (and more) on their web site at www.rsvpmc.org/medicare-help. You can watch these presentations on your devices at your convenience.
