The Pember Book Club will merge with the Slate Museum “New Deal” book for their next meeting, June 29 7PM.
The first book for the Slate Museum’s Summer New Deal Book Club is “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck. Goodreads describes this classic:
John Steinbeck’s masterpiece–the epic chronicle of man’s struggle against injustice and inhumanity, a struggle that is just as much a part of American life in the 70’s as it was in the 30’s. only the characters have changed–the passions and the issues remain the same.
There will be several copies of the book available for checkout.
There will also be audio copies of the book.

Decisions about how we would like to live and be cared for, particularly at the end of life, are some of the most personal, and in certain instances, the most difficult decisions we may ever have to make. By completing Advance Directives each of us has the unique opportunity not only to identify our wishes for care that we may or may not want to receive, but also to designate an individual to speak for us in the event we are unable to speak for ourselves.
Topics to be addressed will include:
o The Advance Care Planning Process
o Tips on having conversations before the crisis
o Advance Directive forms: Health Care Proxy, Living Will and the MOLST.
Presenters:
Sharon Shannon Palliative Care NP – Hudson Headwaters Healthcare Network
