Recurring programs

A number of recurring MCA programs are continuing this month. The MCA book group will have its monthly Zoom meeting on Thursday, Oct. 8. If interested, please contact program chair Stan Farb at stan4mignon@ eathhlink.net.

The book selection for October is, “Not Just a Game,” written by MCA member Doug Zipes.

The popular medical lecture series has announced its schedule for the upcoming season. The first event of the series will take place Nov. 18. MCA member Dr. Doug Zipes will discuss COVID-19 medications and effects on the heart. Dr. Peter Boyd will be providing attendees with a COVID-19 update.

The second installment of the program, “The Presidents: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” will be presented on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 10:30 a.m.

Members can register for all of the above programs by going to the MCA website mcanaples.wildapricot.org.

Please remember that it is time to renew your membership for the upcoming season. Memberships can be renewed by going to the same website. Of course, new members are always welcome.

Only MCA members are eligible to participate in these programs. It is necessary to register for each selected program. Many groups and activities are limited with regard to the number of participants in order to allow each member the best possible experience.

If you have an idea for a program or would like additional information about MCA, please contact Les Nizin, MCA president, at mcanaplespresident@gmail.com.

Stay safe, and if you are returning to the Greater Naples area for the season, travel safety. We look forward to the time when we all can be together in person.
