TRU Volunteer Connection Zoom Meeting Schedule and
Opportunities
|
2/26, Friday: VC
Zoom Presentation: PBS NewsHour: Why African-American seniors are less likely to use hospice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dypoYEvBfs4 Black seniors are more likely than whites and Latinos to forgo
hospice care. Due to deeply felt religious beliefs and a long history of
discrimination in the U.S., African-American patients are often reluctant to
plan for the end of their lives, and more skeptical when doctors suggest
stopping treatment. Special correspondent Sarah Varney reports on efforts to
change some of those beliefs. Gather with us to watch this short video and engage in some insightful
discussion following.
2/27, Saturday: Winter
Volunteer Symposium: Family Dynamics and the Volunteer. Jenn Flaum from the Heartlight Center will
join us as the main presenter. Following the presentation, we will break into
Zoom rooms to discuss and troubleshoot various real-life scenarios that
hospice volunteers have experienced with family dynamics.
3/3
Wednesday: TRUvies Movie Night: SOUL - Joe
Gardner is a school teacher/pianist who has never been able to fulfill his
dream of becoming a professional jazz musician. He finally gets the chance
after successfully auditioning for legendary singer Dorothea Williams..
On the day of his big debut, though, Joe is distracted and walks right into
an open manhole. Realizing that he's dead and is literally on a conveyor belt
moving toward the proverbial white light, Joe hops off, landing in the
“Great Before” where new souls are created and sent to Earth. While
stuck in the Great Before, Joe contemplates his choices and regrets
the existence that he mostly took for granted. This latest Pixar film is
a good one: pleasant and clever, with a generous heart. 6:30pm to
8:30pm. Zoom Code: 850 229 3682 |
