The date and time of this class has been changed from 3/31 to May 19 at 10am. Funerals today have come a long way since our grandparents’ time, when the only option was direct burial into the church cemetery or family graveyard. While many of us have some experience of a loved one being buried or cremated, we now have more choices for body disposition than just burial—options that are more environmentally friendly. And nothing is more environmentally friendly than a green burial. Michele Skeele will help participants discover the options for body disposition currently in practice, and some that are still up and coming, to help with the very important task of planning ahead for our deaths. Planning for the inevitable is a tremendous gift to our families and communities.

This two-day course provides a comprehensive overview of essential digital safety and privacy practices, designed to help participants navigate the online world with confidence. Day 1 focuses on foundational knowledge, starting with an introduction to why internet safety matters, identifying the most common online threats, and understanding how scammers trick people. A key focus is learning concrete strategies for protecting personal information and developing a practical Safe Internet Habits Checklist. Day 2 transitions into practical application across various online activities, covering techniques for safe web browsing, best practices for secure online shopping and payments, managing social media safety and privacy settings, and securing personal devices like phones, tablets, and smart home technology. This class will be a lecture format. There is no need for attendees to bring their personal electronics.
