The following is not a Village-sponsored event, but we thought the topic would be of interest to members:
DOCUMENTARY FILM: "CARE"
Thursday August 3.
7:30 pm at the Clinton Street Theater
2522 SE Clinton Street
"Care pulls back the curtain on the poignant and largely hidden world of in-home elder care. Beautifully shot and deeply moving, the film reveals the intimate bonds that form between paid care workers and elders-and exposes the cracks in a system that is poorly serving both." (from the publicity flyer)
