The Family and Consumer Science program of the Patrick County Extension Office will offer two free educational workshops in March designed to support individuals and families with planning for the future.
Aging in Place Workshop – March 20
Many Americans hope to remain in their homes for as long as possible. Making that a reality requires thoughtful preparation across several areas of life. The Aging in Place workshop will guide participants in evaluating their housing, health, finances, transportation, and support networks. By planning for current and future needs, individuals can increase their ability to maintain independence and safety at home.
Date: Friday, March 20
Time: 2–4 p.m.
Location: Patrick & Henry College, Stuart, VA
Registration: Call 276 694 3341. Workshop is free.
Note: Pre registration is required; space is limited.
Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate™ – March 27
The second March program focuses on making decisions about passing down non-titled personal property—items that may or may not have financial value but often carry deep sentimental or emotional significance. Without communication and planning, these belongings can become a source of tension among family members.
The Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate™ workshop presents strategies to help families talk about inheritance, understand the messages behind “who gets what,” and navigate the emotional and relational aspects of transferring personal property.
Date: Friday, March 27
Time: 2–4 p.m.
Location: Patrick & Henry Community College, Stuart, VA
Registration: Call 276 694 3341. Workshop is free.
Note: Pre registration is required; space is limited.
