SUMMARY:Dementia Warriors Support Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Improving our journey together. \nJoin us from 2:30-4 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of each month at Peace Lutheran Church in Philomath\, Oregon. \nLoss of cognitive skills and/or memory loss can begin at any age\, and this is greatly worsened by social isolation. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are NOT “old-person’s diseases!” Statistics show that many people live with dementia\, on average\, about 10 years before seeking a diagnosis. Early detection gives you time to start self-care and stave off the onset. Knowledge is power! \nWe welcome differences and work together to be creative in enjoying life while navigating dementia. We offer support and connection to those with dementia and their families with twice-monthly support group meetings\, social outings\, easy walks\, coffee chats and a private Facebook group. Most importantly\, we offer hope and a renewed sense of purpose. \nPlease join your strengths with ours to make a better life. Togetherness is our greatest strength. \nWant to learn more?

SUMMARY:Benton County Genealogical Society Program at Philomath Museum
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, Bob Taylor volunteered as a family history consultant at the new Sandy Granite Family History Center. He noticed that many guests to the center asked the same questions\, so he created a website to answer those questions. Using his background in instructional design\, he built a learning framework into the website: Projects\, Goals\, Choices\, and Steps. \nHe and Bob Ives\, the Technology Coordinator for the Sandy Granite Family History Center\, soon formed an LLC company to promote the website. This later became a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization\, The Family History Guide Association\, which opened the door to tax-deductible contributions. The Family History Guide website remains free to use and free of advertisements. \nSince then\, the website has grown and improved dramatically. Some notable milestones include \n\nLaunch of the website in 2015\nCreation of a Board of Directors and Management Team\nApproval by FamilySearch as an official training partner\nInclusion of Learning Paths on the website for Ancestry\, MyHeritage\, and Findmypast\nWelcoming visitors to the website from over 150 countries

SUMMARY:Dementia Warriors Support Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Improving our journey together. \nJoin us from 2:30-4 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of each month at Peace Lutheran Church in Philomath\, Oregon. \nLoss of cognitive skills and/or memory loss can begin at any age\, and this is greatly worsened by social isolation. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are NOT “old-person’s diseases!” Statistics show that many people live with dementia\, on average\, about 10 years before seeking a diagnosis. Early detection gives you time to start self-care and stave off the onset. Knowledge is power! \nWe welcome differences and work together to be creative in enjoying life while navigating dementia. We offer support and connection to those with dementia and their families with twice-monthly support group meetings\, social outings\, easy walks\, coffee chats and a private Facebook group. Most importantly\, we offer hope and a renewed sense of purpose. \nPlease join your strengths with ours to make a better life. Togetherness is our greatest strength. \nWant to learn more?
