WILMOT – A nor’easter blew in, thwarting the Wilmot Community Association’s (WCA) plans for the “Having the Conversation” workshop. We have rescheduled! Please join us on Thursday, April 12 at the Red Barn, 64 Village Road to discuss this important topic. We will start at 5:15 PM with light refreshments.

It is always difficult to discuss end of life. The WCA wants to make it easier by hosting a workshop and panel on this difficult but important topic. The workshop is part of the Chief David White Safety and Wellness Series.   

Speakers will include Dr. Kristi Saunders, Hospice Medical Director and Barbara Woolley, Social Worker from the Lake Sunapee VNA and Hospice, Cheryl Dean, Chaplain and Advanced Care Planning facilitator at the New London Hospital and W. Michael Todd, an attorney specializing in Estate Planning and Elder Law.

The program will focus on advanced health care planning. From considering your wishes to choosing a health care proxy and providing loved ones with directives, the panel will take you through the decision making and communications processes.  
Established in memory of Wilmot’s former police chief, the workshops series covers a wide range of safety and health-related topics. The series is possible due to generous donations made to the WCA in Chief White’s name. All talks and workshops are free and open to the public.  
The WCA owns and operates the Red Barn, a community center, and Timothy Patten Park, a beach and playground. Founded in 1963, the WCA sponsors and cosponsors free and low cost entertainment, recreation and educational activities for families, adults and seniors. In addition to community events, the Red Barn is available for rent for private events and parties.  
More information is available on the WCA website, www.WilmotWCA.org and on the WCA Facebook page.
