Titanic Remembered
By Maureen Esther, HistoryTeller Tuesday, April 23, 2019 7:00 pm Benzonia Public Library Mills Community House-Upper Level 891 Michigan Ave., Benzonia, MI 49616 Link to Google Map> The Titanic would be the epitome of ocean liner luxury – a leviathan and marvel of the modern age. Even though “unsinkable”, by 2:30 a.m. on that fateful morning, she would be on the bottom of the cold Atlantic Ocean. You are invited to board the Titanic in this heartfelt lecture which covers not only the loss of life, but the loss of innocence. Maureen has been a Historyteller for 27 years in the Detroit area and is looking forward to bringing her love of Art and History to the Benzonia Public Library. Refreshments provided. No charge for event, just come and enjoy. Sponsored by Friends of BPL. Information: 231-882-4111 or www.benzonialibrary.org. |

Making Your Medical Wishes Known
Advance Care Planning Workshop Wednesday, May 22, 2019, 1-3 pm Benzonia Public Library Mills Community House-Upper Level 891 Michigan Ave., Benzonia, MI 49616 Link to Google Map> Since we never know what may happen on any given day and life can bring unexpected twists and turns, it can be difficult to know what decisions may need to be made. Medical issues sometimes arise that create confusion and uncertainty for patients, their families, and medical staff. Everyone wants to do the right thing – but in some cases, it’s not always clear. A little planning now will save those dearest to your heart unneeded stress later. The best time to talk about the type of medical care you may or may not want is when you don’t need it.
