In the midst of the pandemic, Shorewood, a leader in Senior and Age-Friendly community building, was recognized as a member of the Dementia Friendly America Network because of its long-standing commitment to supporting people living with memory loss and their caregivers. In addition to learning more about what is happening in Shorewood, we will provide information about what dementia is, what it’s like to live with the disease, and some tips for communicating. Become a Dementia Friend and join a growing movement of people who are helping fellow community members – a little support can make a big difference!  Host: Lorraine Jacobs

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held at 10:00 a.m. September through May. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
