"Solo aging" is not simply living alone. It describes growing older without the benefit of nearby or available close family members who can routinely provide care, make decisions during emergencies, or offer ongoing support. Whether by circumstance or choice, solo agers can thrive by planning, building meaningful relationships, and creating a reliable network of support. In this six-session in-person seminar, we will build community, learn skills, and support each other. Topics are “Lift Off and Live Healthy”, “Live Prepared”, “Living Arrangements – Now & Later,” “Live Connected,” Live with Technology,” and “Live with Purpose.” Please plan to attend all sessions.  Weekly homework.  This program is generously supported by the Healthier Community Fund.  No class October 21.  

This guided tour will bring attendees into the Courtroom for a discussion of how the Court functions, as well as the history of the Supreme Court building and its architecture. Attendees will also visit some of the formal conference rooms, the Great Hall, and the Library. Participants are responsible for their own transportation and will meet at the Court. The Supreme Court is located on First Street NE between Constitution Avenue NE and East Capitol Street NE. Please enter the building via the Visitor Entrance, located to either side of the main steps on the front plaza, and proceed through security screening. Please allow time as there may be a line. A guide from the Curator’s Office will be posted at the John Marshall statue—the large bronze statue located at the end of the carpet on the ground floor. Please see this link for a list of prohibited items. Photography is prohibited inside the Courtroom, however it is permitted in the public parts of the building. The guide will provide more explicit instruction during the tour. Photos taken by guests elsewhere in the building are approved for personal memento use only and not for publication, and they may not be used in any manner that would convey endorsement by the Supreme Court. If you have any special needs, please inform Oasis ASAP and we will do our best to accommodate you. Please note that the class fee will be used to cover Washington Metro Oasis’s administrative costs. Neither Oasis nor the Court is profiting from this tour.
