Choices & Wishes: Making Advance Health Care Decisions Would your family know what to do if you had a health crisis and couldn’t communicate your health care wishes? If you haven’t put your thoughts into writing or had conversa- tions with others about your wishes, this presentation could be vital to you.

Attendees can also request a free, one-on-one follow-up meeting with Agrace staff who are specially trained to facilitate completion of the Power of Attorney for Health Care.

When it was announced with great fanfare in 2012 that physicists had succeeded in creating and identifying this all-important new particle, the discov- ery was justly celebrated around the world. The cost is $10.00 for the course and a resource guide. Space is limited to ONLY 30 people for this class. Please remember you are not confirmed in the class until your payment is received. Advanced registration is required. WiFi Available at Senior Center You may use free WiFi while visiting the Middleton Senior Center.

Rosie Jarman is all these things. She also is strangely beguiling, fiery, and intelligent. While Don quickly disqualifies her as a candidate for the Wife Project, an unlikely relationship develops. eReader Appointments Learn to use the library’s free eBook service, Wis- consin’s Digital Library, at a personalized electronic book training.
