Stronger Memory

We are very excited to be one of 15 Villages around the country to offer our members a new, important program for your brain health! This program, developed by Goodwin House, is called Stronger Memory and has been tested and proven to stimulate the brain’s pre-frontal cortex, which governs our ability to retrieve memories. We look forward to watching your memory improve and the relationships among the people in this group strengthen!

Blizzard – by Vladimir Sorokin

The Blizzard dramatizes a timeless metaphysical predicament. The characters in this nearly post-apocalyptic world are constantly in motion, and yet somehow trapped and frozen—spending day and night fighting their way through the storm on an expedition filled with extraordinary encounters, dangerous escapades, torturous imaginings, and amorous adventures. In the fantastical realm Sorokin has invented, the reader also loses her bearings, subject to the vicissitudes of time and change, to both the movement of life and its stagnancy. Hypnotic, fascinating, and richly descriptive, The Blizzard is a seminal work from one of the most inventive writers working today.
