Conscious Aging and Community Connections is excited to announce
Barbara Coombs Lee, author of Finish Strong: Putting Your Priorities First at Life’s End, will lead our discussion Monday, Feb. 9, 2026, 2-4pm, at Pine Grove Community Center.

Barbara will offer straightforward information and encouragement to bravely consider what is central to the quality of our lives. She will point us toward tools to identify our values and empower us to hold open-hearted, honest conversations with loved ones. She will also talk about how to provide specific guidance to family and health care providers about our end-of-life wishes.

Sometimes physical and mental decline occur slowly over months or years. Sometimes they are the result of a sudden catastrophic event. Barbara will talk about creating documents, recording a video and preparing our loved ones to follow our wishes in a variety of situations.

Please join us for this candid conversation about supporting your future self.

The Conscious Aging and Community Connections Program is sponsored by Pine Grove Community House. This allows us to keep admission at $5. All proceeds go directly to Pine Grove.
