Wednesday, May 12, 9:30 - 11:00 a.m.
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. Please join this event to learn more about today’s hearing challenges, treatment options, tools and apps, and resources that can improve hearing aid satisfaction and the quality of your life. 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.

Enjoy a relaxing ranger-led walking tour of beautiful Maclay Gardens. A masterpiece of floral architecture, the gardens feature a picturesque brick walkway, secret garden, reflection pool, walled garden, hundreds of azaleas, camellias, and other lovely plants and trees. The gardens were first planted in 1923 by Alfred and Louise Maclay when they purchased the property for their winter home. Participants are encouraged to bring a lunch to enjoy in the picnic area following the tour. There is plenty of room to social distance. There is $6 per vehicle upon admittance to the park on the day of the tour (carpooling is encouraged). Participants must wear masks. Limited space available.

Water is our most precious natural resource. There are substitutes for the use of petroleum, coal, metals – we can even live for a few months without sunlight, as in northern Alaska or Antarctica. But imagine no water for a fraction of that time! Florida Professional Geologist, Joe Haberfeld, will examine our water supply sources, the primary uses of water, and drinking water treatment. What happens after water is used? It becomes wastewater and must be treated and disposed of with care to minimize the effect on our environment, including the water resources that we use for drinking water. Water treatment and disposal options will be presented. We will also look at the birth of the environmental movement, environmental regulations, case studies, hot topics, and items of local interest.

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.
