Zumba Gold is Bold!
with Lisa Elliot
Zumba Gold is Bold! is designed for all ages - for those new to Zumba, for those who have had an injury, or those who love Zumba, but would like a modified version. Zumba Gold runs for 45 minutes, unlike Zumba that runs for an hour. There is verbal cuing as well as non-verbal cues. The music is the same great, fun, upbeat music. You will sweat and you will receive the many benefits of dancing. The only change is the movements will be less stressful on your joints and your body. It’s a class where you are exercising, but having fun doing it!! This is an in-person class; no class 02/17/25.
Lisa Elliot has been a licensed Zumba and Zumba Gold instructor since 2015. Her specialty is Zumba Gold. She thoroughly enjoys getting to know those that come to her classes and seeing them have fun and getting the health benefits of dancing!
Understanding the Internet
with Nicole Moran, NDEC

Bring Your Device to Lunch
with Digital Partners
No matter what kind of devices you use, chances are you're not getting the most out of them and it's likely that, sometimes, they are even a source of frustration. Then you're either embarrassed to ask for help or you just don't want to deal with that digital-native eyeroll. No Eyerolls Here! JOIN US!
Ellsworth's Digital Inclusion Committee is brining Bring Your Device to Lunch back by popular demand. We're going to offer it monthly at locations around the community. Bring your device and a bag lunch AND help you get the most from your technology!
Technology can be a double-edged sword that can be a HUGE help and an even bigger source of frustration. The devices that keep you connectd become more integral to every day life. Whether you want to read our local newspaper, connect with friends and family, engage with a healthcare provider or pay your bills, your device is likely to be part of that.
In this session, you'll sit neighbor-to-neighbor with folks in the community that work in programs that can help you reach your goals-whether it's access to the internet, identifying the right device for you, or learning the skills you need to feel successful. Some of us also need a dose of digital therapy to overcome the mental, emotional and logistical challenges we face with the fast moving pace that our society embraces technology. The objective of the day is for you to make connections that will support you.
Aside from the hands-on advice and training, attendees will receive valuable information about additional digital education resources, and affordability programs for broadband connectivity and equipment.
Please Bring
- your charged device;
- a wish list of what you'd like to learn; and
- your appetite!
Maine Death with Dignity Act
with Valerie Lovelace
There is still a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about Maine's compassionate end-of-life care option. Many providers and patients in Maine are still not familiar with Maine's Death with Dignity Act. In effect since September 2019, the law permits physicians to practice medical aid-in-dying under specific circumstances.
Join this class to get fact-based information details you need to know about Maine's law, how to have the conversation with your physician, and how to qualify for the law or support your loved one who may be qualifying. This is a live, online class using ZOOM.
Val was the grassroots leader and organizer from 2014 through passage of the law she co-authored in 2019. She is the founder and executive director of Maine Death with Dignity. Val believes people need good information to make good decisions. Val has been teaching adults in a variety of military and non-military organizations since 1981.
