Mill City Commons members have created a Caregiver Support Group and invite other caregivers to join them. This guided discussion group with professional facilitation was created to support MCC members and non-members who are or have been in a caregiving role. Caregiver Support Group members will share experiences, issues and concerns about caregiving as well as give and receive support around this critical role. This is a three month series, meeting the second and fourth Wednesday each month from 10:30 am-12:00 pm. Participants will be asked to pay $60 for the three month (six sessions) series regardless of how many sessions they are able to attend. Confidential scholarships are available - contact Mary Texidor.  To enter Cobalt, buzz Tamra Nelson at the Cobalt Security Phone, take the elevator to the 2nd fl, turn right and walk to the end of the hallway.

Caffeine and camaraderie for the male members of MCC and guests! This group meets every other Thursday and is hosted by various members who get the conversation going. Please register by the Monday prior to Men's Coffee and Conversation. MCC member Bob Callahan hosts this week. Bob used the Myers Briggs in career coaching and team training during his human resources career. He'll cover the basics of Myers Briggs, help you discover your personality type, and ask the question, 'How has your personality type influenced your career decisions and your relationships?'

Kurdistan, a mountainous area made up of parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria, is home to one of the largest ethnic groups in the region: the Kurds. Now, most in the West know them for their small, oil-rich autonomous region in northern Iraq called Iraqi Krudistan--one of the United States' closer allies in the Middle East and a bulwark against the expansion of the so-called Islamic State. What does the success of Iraqi Kurdistan mean for Kurds in the surrounding region? Great Decisions guest speaker Henry Berman has personal ties to the Middle East region and has visited there seven times since 2008. In recent years, he has given presentations throughout the state on the Syrian refugee crisis, the U.S.-Israel relationship, and Egypt and the Arab Spring. Ginny and Will Craig host at Winslow House.
