7 PM
Charlestown Square Classroom #116
This film portrays the lives of several LGBTQ+ older adults and the challenges they faced as they planned for the later stages of their lives. The movie will be followed by an informal discussion beginning at about 8 PM about our lives at Charlestown and how we might support members of the LGBTQ+ community. Some questions we will address are: How might we more effectively support the needs of the LGBTQ+ community at Charlestown? Would the greater community benefit from learning more about the LGBTQ+ community? How could we do that?
Also, watch for more information about the CNN and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation announcement that there will be a Democratic presidential town hall event focused on LGBTQ+ issues. Call Bonnie Kawecki to be added to our mailing list and if you would like more information about this event when it becomes available. For Bonnie’s contact information, check the Resident Directory, which is also available online in MyErickson.
