LEWISTON – SeniorsPlus, the designated Western Maine Agency on Aging, announces the October offering of their Long Distance Learning program, connecting community members in the Farmington with live educational seminars being held at the Lewiston Education Center of SeniorsPlus.
The class, with Maine author Walt Bannon, will be held on Thursday, Oct. 22 at 1 p.m. at Franklin Memorial Hospital in the Chisholm Room. The class features Bannon’s book, “The White Pocketbook” which tells a personal story of a family’s struggle through WWII.
“We have heard loud and clear from Franklin County older adults that they, too, would like to have educational opportunities, like the great programs being held at the Lewiston Education Center,” said Connie Jones, Director of Community Services at SeniorsPlus. “Our long distance learning series launched in April and was very successful. We are now ready to make this opportunity an on-going, regular event.”
Residents of the Farmington will be able to gather at the Franklin Memorial Hospital’s Chisholm Room and be connected in real time to the group that is meeting in Lewiston.
Community members who wish to join the classroom at Franklin Memorial Hospital need to register with SeniorsPlus. The class is free and all are welcome. For more information and to register, call 1-800-427-1241.
