Greater Niles Village (GNV) is convening regularly-scheduled Gatherings, on-line with Zoom, that will transition to in-person activities when it’s safe. GNV’s Gatherings are interactive, interesting and engaging. The Gatherings are open to all but require registration.

 

Please let us know if there’s a speaker or a topic you’d like included.

 

There’s lots of conflicting information about COVID safety guidelines, particularly pertaining to those of us who have gotten vaccinated and others who have not. Villager Sandra Wong, D.O., will give us a summary about COVID safety guidelines based on the most common concerns she’s addressing with her patients, then respond to questions from the group. We'll also discuss options for Villagers providing or receiving in-person assistance like rides or household chores, and in-person group activities.

 

Sandra would love to get our questions in advance. Please email your questions by April 25, 2021 <iris.nicholson@nilesvillage.org>

Villager Denise Stewart will lead GNV's Book Club Discussion of The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah.  The Four Winds is an epic novel of love and heroism and hope, set against the backdrop of one of America’s most defining eras—the Great Depression—written by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone.

 

Master your electronic devices with help from the Cybergeezers of SIR (Sons in Retirement). Meetings start with a presentation and discussion about using various devices, software, cybersecurity, etc. The presentations are followed by time for those with more tech expertise to help individuals with problems and "how to" questions. Digital tools for scanning and organizing photos will be April's meeting topic. We'll also identify other digital photography tools the group would like to discuss at future meetings. Email Jerry Sabo if there's a specific photography-related application you'd like to discuss - Jlsabo3@comcast.net.

 

Why write a memoir? Enjoy the reliving of your memories. Pass on the treasure of your unique life perspective. Appreciate your accomplishments for a sense of completeness. While we continue to protect each other by sheltering in place, you may want to use the time to tell your story and leave a legacy. Villagers Jan Quilici and Patty Allen will guide regular meetings of memoir writers. All are welcome.
