2:00 - 4:00 p.m., Safir Room, there will be a “Death Café” meeting.  All are welcome. “Death Café” is a recent movement that brings people together in small social groups to “drink tea, eat cake, and talk about death.” The purpose is to help people feel safe talking about death and dying. We believe that by increasing our awareness and comfort on this front we can make the most of our finite lives. Join in the conversation. Click the heading for more background on the Death Café purpose and contact information. See background information below.
