WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 6:30
A Final Gift of Love

It’s easy to be overwhelmed when thinking of end of life decisions but preparation now can be a true gift for your loved ones.  Please join us as we welcome Linda Cannon-Huffman, a Death Midwife,  for an evening of practical help in addressing the many choices and important decisions that can be made which will give you, your family and friends assurance that your final wishes will be granted.  
Nothing is written in stone, you can and should make adjustments for life changes, but having your preferences in writing will alleviate the stress of decision making by loved ones who might otherwise not know what you want.  
(There may even be laughter and cookies involved.)


Linda has a Masters in Public Health Education and has taken many courses, workshops and classes on death and dying from Western, Buddhist and Shamanic perspectives.

Tuesday, November 5, 7:00
Nancy Marie Brown will present: 
Ivory Vikings: The Mystery of the Lewis Chessmen.

In this final Friends of the Lanpher Memorial Library Tuesday Talk of 2019, Nancy Marie Brown discusses the Lewis Chessmen, the most famous chessmen of all time.  Found in Scotland's Outer Hebrides in the 1800s, these walrus-ivory figurines captivate visitors to the British Museum--each face is individual, each full of quirks.  Now thought to be carved by an Icelandic woman in about 100, they present a capsule history of the Vikings in the North Atlantic, when the sea-road connected countries we think of as far apart and culturally distinct. 

This free talk is fully accessible to people with disabilities and open to the public is a Vermont Humanities Speakers Bureau event hosted by Friends of Lanpher Memorial Library.
