SUMMARY:Retain Your Brain
DESCRIPTION:It’s understandable that people are desperate for a quick fix to one of the greatest collective health fears they have: Losing their memory\, and their financial assets because of cognitive decline. \nThe costs of an unhealthy brain can be significant. The average lifetime cost of dementia is $392\,874\, which can include medical expenses\, caregiving\, home modifications\, lost income\, legal fees\, hospice\, and end-of-life care. \nSo how can we prepare for the possibility of cognitive decline? More and more research reveals a powerful message: that we—not our genes—can have control over our cognitive health today and the destiny of our brains. By understanding the simple tips we’ll share in this presentation\, you can help ensure your brain health lasts longer.

SUMMARY:Easing into Retirement
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is geared for individuals who are contemplating retiring and who may be a bit afraid of retiring. It’s about taking the first steps. And second steps for those that have retired and are stuck\, perhaps even bored. It’s about building quality and joy into retirement. The session will offer tips\, ideas\, and exercises from first-hand experience\, interviews with retirees\, and several books written by experts. You will explore creating your own guidelines and finding your retirement style. \nWhile financial planning is a critical step to a happy retirement\, this workshop does NOT address retirement investment strategies. \nAbout the Presenter \nRebecca Holderness recently retired after 40+ years in leadership roles in business development\, trade shows\, and marketing at SAIC and Leidos. Fearing retirement\, Rebecca kept postponing the date (by four years!) until both a pending company reorganization and a health challenge made her rethink the timing. Once she took the retirement plunge\, she wondered why she’d waited so long! While volunteering and facilitating workshops for The Women’s Center\, Rebecca offered to create a new group session designed to help others who may be timid of taking the plunge or who may not be feeling fulfilled in their retirement. \nPLEASE NOTE: WORKSHOP IS IN PERSON AT THE WOMENS CENTER IN VIENNA\, VA
