SUMMARY:Living (and Aging) Well With Technology
DESCRIPTION:Technology can be so frustrating and even more so if you have physical or cognitive limitations. This session will review the many ways you can help yourself and your family use existing everyday technologies — with much less frustration — to improve the quality of life. Intelligent assistants such as the Amazon Echo’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri can help keep you connected with simple voice commands. Erin Byrne from TechMoxie will discuss how we have used these devices with great success to help clients with physical limitations such as Parkinson’s or cognitive impairment. Voice commands are often much easier (and less frustrating) than navigating the many layers of a smartphone app or computer. Learn ways to use intelligent assistants to use their voice to send text messages\, make phone calls\, turn lights on/off\, unlock doors\, listen to radio and even play audio books. We will also discuss privacy considerations that may impact your clients and families.

SUMMARY:HAP Valentine's Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Since 2021\, Hyattsville Aging in Place (HAP) has teamed up with local Girl Scouts Honor Cadette Troop 23007 to ensure our Neighbors received a sweet Valentine’s Day surprise.

The Girl Scouts will make valentines to accompany each box when they deliver them. Each box costs $5 and can be ordered from this page. You can personalize the valentine’s message from the same page\, or\, if you want to make your own valentines for the girls to deliver\, mail them to “Valentines ℅ HAP\, 5104 42nd Ave. Hyattsville\, MD 20781.” You can also sign up for updates on the troop’s valentine-making efforts from the same page. \nThe website for ordering cookies and valentines is open NOW. Cookie orders must be finalized by February 3rd to ensure the troop has time to make all the necessary valentines for delivery. \nNew for 2024: The Hyattsville Horticultural Society will have a Valentine’s Day card-making station at its February 10th Seed Sale at the Hyattsville Municipal Building. People can make their own cards\, or make ones for HAP to distribute!

SUMMARY:Put Art in Your Heart 2023
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, Hyattsville Aging in Place (HAP) hosts a valentine party\, Put Art in Your Heart\, that brings people of all ages from Hyattsville and the surrounding communities together to make valentines for area seniors. Starting in 2021\, to ensure that seniors did not miss out on these caring notes despite the difficulties of the COVID pandemic\, HAP teamed up with local Girl Scouts Honor Cadette Troop 23007 to ensure our Neighbors received a sweet Valentine’s Day surprise. It was a rousing success. \nFor 2023\, Hyattsville Aging in Place is again working with Girl Scouts Claire and Maggie\, who have volunteered at Put Art in Your Heart since they were old enough to use scissors. \nWe are asking people to buy Girl Scout cookies that will be donated to area seniors. The Girl Scouts will make valentines to accompany each box when they deliver them. Each box costs $5 and can be ordered from this page. You can personalize the valentine’s message from the same page\, or\, if you want to make your own valentines for the girls to deliver\, mail them to “Valentines ℅ HAP\, 5104 42nd Ave. Hyattsville\, MD 20781.” You can also sign up for updates on the troop’s valentine-making efforts from the same page. \nThe website for ordering cookies and valentines is open NOW. Cookie orders must be finalized by February 10th to ensure the troop has time to make all the necessary valentines for delivery.

SUMMARY:The Political & The Personal: The Poetry of the Women’s Liberation Movement
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on personal experiences and scholarship\, Deborah Rosenfelt\, Ph.D.\, Professor Emerita in the Harriet Tubman Department of Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Maryland\, will reflect on the contributions of poets of the late 20th century Women’s Liberation Movement in shaping thought and action. Audre Lorde\, one of the most influential Movement poets\, famously asserted “Poetry Is Not a Luxury.” Lorde saw poetry as a source of deep personal and communal knowledge\, forming “the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change.” Her definition is linked to one of the central slogans of the movement: “the personal is political.” Examining selected poems\, we’ll discuss how women’s poetry\, along with other forms of art and thought\, helped to expand the meaning of “the political” and played a crucial role in envisioning the need and possibilities for social change.
