Third Thursday Monthly Series

Third Thursday programs, which are organized and sponsored by the Friends of Bixby Library, offer a lively variety of lectures, discussions and musical presentations. Programs begin at 7:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted and are free and open to the public.

 

January 21 7:00 pm David White: Journey to Rural Tanzania The Friends of the Bixby and Hospice Volunteer Services (HVS) of Middlebury invite you to join David White, as he shares stories and photographs from his recent visit to Vermont's hospice partner in Iambi, Tanzania. Come and learn how hope manages to flourish amidst remarkable obstacles in subsaharan Africa. A staff member of Addison County Hospice Services, White was part of an effort to provide clinical and collegial support through a new partnership with the Iambi Hospital in the Singida region of Tanzania, East Africa. Here and afar the mission of the Hospice & Palliative Care Movement is to provide comfort and attentive care at the end of life. Accounts from White's trip exemplify the remarkable stories of life and of loss that Hospice and Palliative Care workers often experience. A well-developed and recognized program, HVS is active and well in Addison County and across the globe. There will be time for light refreshments and questions. For additional information on this and other programs in the Bixby Library's Third Thursday series, please contact the library at (802) 877-2211. All Third Thursday events are free and open to the public.
