Wednesday, May 12
9:30 - 11:00 a.m.
Please join us to learn more about today’s hearing challenges, treatment options, tools and apps, and resources that can improve hearing satisfaction and the quality of your life. This interactive webinar will address hearing issues that have been exacerbated during the pandemic – such as mask wearing, plexiglass barriers, poor sound quality of socially connecting technologies, and increased anxiety. The stress of “missing out” leads to frustration, sleep disruption, physical ailments, memory loss, isolation, and depression. In addition to the presentation, there will also be Q & A and opportunities to win gifts and prizes. Even if your hearing is fine, you may have a friend or loved one for whom this even may be relevant.
This virtual event (Zoom) is presented by Audiology Associates.

Part 2 - Thursday, May 27
1:30 - 3:00 p.m.
Greece produced art of the highest quality from about 3000 BC to 300 AD. Artist and world traveler, Tom Friedman will virtually take us to noteworthy museums in Greece and explore the different periods of art. The various Greek civilizations created a rich variety of art, including statues, wall paintings, pottery, and metal work. We will look at major antiquity museums and sites of Greece; Athens (the Acropolis and National Archeological Museums), Delphi (home of the famous oracle) and the islands of Delos and Santorini. We will set the social and political climate for each period of Greek art to enhance our appreciation of that art whether from the Prehistoric, Dark Age, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. Of course, no presentation of Ancient Greek art would be complete without an examination of the eruption of the Santorini volcano which preserved an enormous variety of Prehistorical art that would otherwise not exist today. (It should be noted that unlike Pompei in Italy, the Greeks heeded the pre-eruption earthquakes and left before the big event!). This class is virtual (Zoom).

Talk about a Win – Win!
Did you know that there are tax incentives to making charitable donations using your investments and retirement plans? By using tax planning strategies, charitable contributions can reduce three kinds of federal taxes: income, capital gains and estate taxes. Not only can you deduct the fair market value of what you give from your income taxes, you can also minimize capital gains tax.

Donations and membership are tax deductible.
