Book Club | Must sign up

Tuesday, October 29 at 3 pm

The book for October will be Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. 

Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house.

There is one other person in the house—a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.

All of the following support and peer groups are for both members & non-members to attend

Memory Cafe facilitated by the Alzheimer Association of Northeastern NY

11am-12:30pm | 1st Friday of every month.

The memory café offers a supportive, welcoming environment for caregivers and their loved ones who are experiencing memory loss due to Alzheimer’s or another dementia. You can expect a judgment-free zone, the opportunity to connect with others, and simple, yet meaningful and engaging activities.

Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Group facilitated by the Alzheimer Association of Northeastern NY

11am-12:30pm | 2nd Friday of every month. 

Being a caregiver can present exhausting challenges and take a significant toll on your health. Support groups bring together people who are going through or have gone through similar experiences.

Grief and Loss Support & Discussion Group facilitated by Lois Streit

Whatever type of loss you've suffered, there's no right or wrong way to grieve. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. Any loss can cause grief. The purpose of this group is to provide friendship, understanding, and hope.
