Sunday, December 3rd | 2 - 3 pm | 21119 S Pfeiffer Rd., Frankfort, IL 60423
Local author, Joe Ziemba, will join us for an afternoon of “Bears Football.” With the continuing struggles of the Chicago Bears (and no Super Bowl championships since the 1985 season), fans may not remember that the Bears were once the dominant team in the National Football League (NFL). Between 1921 through 1946, the Bears won seven NFL titles! Joe will discuss those glory years of the Bears and give a peek into some of the great "unknown" history of the Chicago Bears back when it seemed that almost every season concluded with a positive ending on the football field.

Lori Gottlieb, a psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, and co-host of the “Dear Therapists” podcast joins us for a thought-provoking conversation about mental health in anticipation of the winter holiday season. Gottlieb will share tools to help in everyday life and especially as you prepare for the holidays. Her book, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, has sold over a million copies and is currently being adapted into a television series. In addition to her clinical practice, Gottlieb writes The Atlantic’s “Dear Therapist” advice column and has been on the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, and NPR’s "Fresh Air" as a therapy expert; her 2019 TED Talk was one of the most watched of the year.
