Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an American author and poet best known for her modernist writings, extensive art collecting and literary salon in 1920s Paris. For some 40 years, the Stein home at 27 rue de Fleurus on the Left Bank of Paris was a renowned Saturday evening gathering place for both expatriate American artists and writers and others noteworthy in the world of vanguard arts of letters, most notably Pablo Picasso. Entrée into the Stein salon was a sought after validation, and Stein became combination mentor, critic and guru to those who gathered around her, including Ernest Hemingway who described the salon in A Moveable Feast.

Field Museum “Terracotta Warriors” This trip is being offered by PTC and involves extensive walking.

Emperor Qin Shihuang came to power in 221 BC, ruling for almost a dozen eventful years until his death. Though no portraits survive of the First Emperor from his lifetime, he left a lasting legacy through the empire he built. Planning to spend his afterlife buried in a palatial tomb, surrounded by all his worldly treasures, he commissioned a massive army of terracotta warriors to guard his mausoleum, Upon this rare finding, archaeologists estimate that there are about 8,000 terracotta figures in the areas surrounding Qin Shihuang's tomb, including horses, archers, charioteers, infantry, and generals. Most of the terracotta warriors are over six feet tall. Come and explore the story of the Terracotta Warriors!

The group is not disease specific, it focuses on the caregiver. Join our vital group to meet others in our community who, like you, are caring for an older adult loved one. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 1pm in the Patty Turner Center Library. Drop in. FREE. For more info call Margie at PTC 847-940-4010. Do care obligations keep you from attending our Support Groups? Here’s a solution! Through our treasured partnership with Faith In Action Volunteers, we are able to offer some respite options. On-site supervision of your loved one in our front lobby may be available during the Alzheimer and ACES meetings. Care recipients must be comfortable being apart from their loved one, have appropriate behavior, and be able to use the restroom on their own. Also, on a more limited basis, a trained Faith in Action volunteer may come to your home, if needed, while you attend the ACES meeting. For both services, prescreening and reservations are required. There is never a fee. Please call Margie at PTC for eligibility requirements and more information.

Dementia Support Group Peggy Rubenstein of the Alzheimer’s Association hosts a monthly group at the PTC. It is for family caregivers of individuals in the middle to later stages of dementia. Meetings offer emotional and educational support as well as camaraderie. Join us on the 1st Monday of each month at 2 pm. Just drop in! It’s FREE and open to all family members. For more info contact the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Illinois 800-272-3900 or go to alz.org/Illinois and click on Support Groups.

In case you haven’t heard, the state is no longer mailing reminders about license plate registration. But, if you’re delinquent, you still get a ticket!! Check your sticker’s expiration date! You can request the Secretary of State to send you email reminders. Just Google “Secretary of State Illinois Green” and you’ll find the website, then enter your vehicle registration and PIN#. The Benefit Access Program (License Plate Discount & Senior Rides Free Card) is also affected. The state is currently running TWO months behind with processing. Allow yourself enough time to get your benefit!! Many folks, through no fault of their own, have lost the benefit or have had to pay late fees. Check when your BAP eligibility expires, or have Margie at PTC look it up for you. It is suggested you renew at the first opportunity, which is three months prior to expiration. For those of you unfamiliar with the BAP: One must be 65 or older--or over 16 and totally disabled; AND have an annual income from all sources under $27,610 for singles or $36,635 for couples. The application is good for two years. ALL applications and documentation must be submitted online; no paper forms exist. You can do it yourself at the Illinois Department on Aging’s website. Deerfield residents and PTC members can make an appointment with Margie and she will do it for you!
