Coffee Talk Every Wednesday

10:30am-11:00am(CT)

Grab your cup of coffee and spend this time catching up with the Lifetime

Connections Without Walls community. We’ll discuss the theme of the week,

current events, play trivia, and chat.

FacilitatedbyKarenCollier

GratitudeEveryMonday

10:00am-10:30am(CT)

Practicing gratitude is an easy thing to do, but we often are too busy to

remember to do it. The truth is that it is impossible to feel both the positive

emotion of being grateful and a negative emotion such as anger or fear at the

same time. Make a difference in your life with a daily gratitude practice.

FacilitatedbyWhitneyO’Baugh/AgingisCool

GardenTalkEveryTuesday

12:00pm-12:30pm(CT)

Let’s spend time wandering through our virtual garden. We’ll discuss what to

plant and when. We’ll also ask: Did your parents or grandparents have

gardens? What do you remember? Shelling peas, snapping beans, husking corn,

preserving fruit? There were once Victory Gardens. Do we need them again?

How do we cook what we grow? Join us for these discussions and more!

Museum Tours



HolocaustandResistanceTuesday,3/2

2:00pm-3:00pm(CT)

This museum tour features the art of Roman Vishniac and Claude Cahun from

past exhibitions at The Contemporary Jewish Museum. Through a careful

reading of their photographs, as well as added narratives, we will examine

how Holocaust history is re lected in their art, how by controlling the frame

they could control the narrative, and by doing so, understand how these

artists engaged in resistance.

Presented by Ron Glait/The Contemporary Jewish Museum of San Francisco

ALivingPresenceTuesday,3/9

2:00pm-3:00pm(CT)

Archaeologists believe that the people who irst came to the land we now call

Texas at least 16,000 years ago. The Bullock Museum exhibition, "Becoming

Texas," begins with the irst people to step on the land, early American

Indians, and the tools and materials they used to hunt, gather, and build.

Discover the diversity of native groups that have called Texas home and ind

out more about groups currently living in Texas.
