SUMMARY:Safety in the Home: When Is It Unsafe for an Elder to Live Alone?
DESCRIPTION:During this class\, we will talk about clues that confirm an older adult is unsafe in their home\, along with care options for in and outside the home. Because it is often difficult to convince an older adult to leave the home\, we will also explore ways to make that discussion easier and more effective. \nThe class will be led by Karen Kent\, a licensed mental health counselor with 30 years of experience in the field of geriatric mental health. She teaches classes for family caregivers and has led caregiver support groups. She recently spent eight months as the primary caregiver for a family member. \nThis event is part of our Aging in Place program\, which encourages active older adults to engage in intrinsically meaningful activities; supports adult children of aging parents; and\, enables those older adults challenged by disability\, illness or declining health to live in comfort and dignity. \nThis event is free; donations are welcome. \nRSVP to Talya Gillman\, Education Coordinator\, at (206) 861-8784 by Wednesday\, May 3.

SUMMARY:Food & Identity: A taste of Puerto Rico with Eric Rivera
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION\nJoin us for an evening of food and discussion with Eric Rivera\, Executive Chef at Seattle’s Bookstore Bar & Café. Eric\, a graduate of the culinary school at the Art Institute of Seattle\, traces cooking back to when he was a small child. Growing up in a Puerto Rican family that celebrated food\, Eric often cooked with his grandfather. Despite his early connection with the kitchen\, Eric pursued jobs in mortgage and insurance. But eventually he found himself drawn back to food. \nAfter years of working his way up the culinary ladder\, his new job at Bookstore Bar & Cafe\, allows him to play to his guests’ sense of discovery. “It’s an exploration of the whole flavor spectrum\, where you can go from sweet to savory to sour in one bite\,” he says. “We have all these great local ingredients at our disposal\, and we’ll be highlighting flavors of the Pacific Northwest – but in a way that will feel fresh and new to locals and visitors alike.” \nOver a traditional Puerto Rican meal prepared by Eric\, we will discuss how we can learn about ourselves and one another through food\, and how building bridges through food. During the meal we will break out in small group discussions and play with the magic of food and storytelling to connect us in our vulnerability and shared humanity. \nThe Menu: \n– Bacalao \n– Tostones \n– Arroz con gandules \n– Mofongo \n– Bistec \n– Lechon \n– Tembleque \n– Arroz Con Leche \nTickets are $39.85 per person \n35 tickets available
