The Latehomecomer by Kao Kalia Yang In search of a place to call home, thousands of Hmong families made the journey

from the war-torn jungles of Laos to the overcrowded refugee camps of Thailand

and onward to America. But lacking a written language of their own, the Hmong

experience has been primarily recorded by others. Driven to tell her family’s story

after her grandmother’s death, The Latehomecomer is Kao Kalia Yang’s tribute to the

remarkable woman whose spirit held them all together. It is also an eloquent, firsthand

account of a people who have worked hard to make their voices heard.

Thursday, April 16, 1:30 - 3:00pm Cost: $2.00 DATE CHANGED DUE TO EASTER

Forty Autumns by Nina Willner

A family memoir by American former intelligence officer Nina Willner.

Willner's mother fled Communist East Germany: for forty years she

couldn't see her family. In the interim, her daughter became an

American intelligence officer working in Berlin during the Cold War.

1/21/20 ~ Options to Consider When Choosing a Home Tom Cops, Seniors First Remodeling Throughout our lives we seek a place which fits our needs and in which we are comfortable to call home. 20% of American households are now multi-generational and that number is growing. This presentation will look at extended family homes and the changes taking place in our country to facilitate them.

2/18/20 ~ Medicare vs Medicare Advantage Plans Nancy Krause, Independent Insurance Agent Medicare can be confusing and overwhelming to say the least and few are prepared for all the choices they have to make as they turn 65. Not many employers actually prepare their employees for health choices when they are deleted from the group insurance that they enjoyed before they retire. As you near the magic age of 65 you will note how inundated you become with mail, phone calls, TV advertising, etc to the point that you are totally confused. It takes a good agent to find the answers to your most pressing questions and your most relevant needs as they will change every day, every month and every year.

3/17/20 ~ Who Get’s Grandma’s Pie Plate? . . . Karen Dickrell, UW Madison Extension Outagamie County This program is designed to inform and educate the community about the transfer of non-titled personal property. Participants will learn to recognize and understand the sensitivity of transferring personal property, determine what “fair” means to their family, identify the meaning of objects, consider distribution options, and manage conflicts.
