Lunch 'N Learn Series


Weekly Series, Every Thursday from 12pm - 1pm
 

We are excited to announce that beginning Thursday January 12, 2012 from 12 to 1 PM we will be offering a series of Lunch ‘N Learn events on a weekly basis at The Comfort Café. The topics in purple type focus on anticipatory grief issues while the other topics focus on issues that we may encounter when we are grieving a death. We invite you to join us for lunch and a supportive discussion at The Comfort Café. The Comfort Café is a non-profit, donation-based, gourmet restaurant with a unique mission to serve delicious, fresh meals while helping to improve the lives of people in our community. Please bring your family, bring a friend and come and connect with us as we strive to develop a unique community of bereavement education and support through The Comfort Café. RSVP is not required. Please contact Kelly Petty, Innovative Hospice Community Organizer at 720-331-9143 or [email protected] with any questions or topic suggestions for future Lunch ‘N Learn events.  Below is our tentative schedule for the first six months of the year.
