Upcoming Events


  • Mug Club Caregiver Support Group - Wednesday, 10/9/24. There is no need to register, just show up as life allows for either meeting.
  • Virtually: 10 - 11 a.m. Reminder that we switched over to Microsoft Teams for this meeting. If this is new to you, instructions can be found here on how to get set up. I will open the meeting early if you have any questions on how things work (commenting in chat, raising your hand, etc.).
  • In-Person: 5:30 - 7 p.m. In person at ADRC, 300 S Adams St, Green Bay. The agency will be closed for the day and the doors locked. Please come to the single door entrance (south side) and ring the doorbell. We will be watching and listening to let you in.


  • Powerful Tools for Caregivers - Saturdays, 10/5 - 11/9/24, 9 - 10:30 a.m. There are still spots available for the final Powerful Tools for Caregivers class for 2024. If you haven't taken the class, I strongly recommend it for anyone in a caregiver role. Wondering if this class is worth the time? See the backside of the flyer for testimonies from caregivers who have completed the class. Don't wait - registration will only be open for a few more days! If you are interested in class but now isn't the time, let me know and I'll add you to the waitlist and as classes are scheduled, I'll let you know.

"I admit I was a bit skeptical at first, whether this would be a helpful tool for me and my husband. But within minutes of the first session, I felt this was indeed possible! I have a problem of opening up to tell how I actually feel. But you made it so comfortable and sincere, and at just those right times even put a smile on my face and hope in my heart! Thank you from BOTH my husband and myself!" ~2019 Class Participant
