Smartphones and social media are meant to improve our lives and help connect people. Because of their proliferation and constant presence, phones sometimes hamper our ability to be fully present with those that we love. Given that phones provide a constant influx of information, they can be overwhelming and, at times, depressing and anxiety-producing. We’ll talk about ways to use phones, so they serve our individual purposes while also being mindful of their pitfalls.&nbsp;This program is generously supported by the Frederick H. Bowis Community Fund.<a href="https://washington-metro.oasiseverywhere.org/product/how-phones-impact-our-personal-relationships-and-our-mood-and-what-to-do-about-it/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Register here.</a>About Washington Metro Oasis: Our mission is to empower adults age 50+ to lead active, healthy, and enriched lives through a unique mix of lifelong learning, social, health, and volunteer programs.

This September marks 250 years since Montgomery County was founded–its semiquincentennial. To state the obvious, it has undergone tremendous change over the course of its history — once overwhelmingly rural and agricultural, then increasingly suburban and now itself highly urbanized in numerous spots. This presentation sketches major themes of the county’s evolution and development, lavishly illustrated by an array of vintage photos, maps and other images.<a href="https://washington-metro.oasiseverywhere.org/product/montgomery-countys-semiquincentennial/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Register here.</a>About Washington Metro Oasis: Our mission is to empower adults age 50+ to lead active, healthy, and enriched lives through a unique mix of lifelong learning, social, health, and volunteer programs.

This support group is designed for those who have found themselves in a caregiving role for their parent(s) due to aging, illness, memory loss, or other challenges. If you feel overwhelmed by managing your parents’ needs and your own responsibilities, you’re not alone — and this group is here to support you. This caregiver group will largely consist of those in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who identify as “adult children” and are caring for a “parent” who’s aging. This is an inclusive group — “parent” can mean any aging loved one (ie. aunt, uncle). Erica Greenspan is a clinical social worker and psychotherapist with over a decade of experience supporting older adults and their loved ones. Erica specializes in helping families navigate the challenges of neurocognitive disorders such as dementia, MS, and Parkinson’s disease, as well as acute illnesses like cancer. This program is generously supported by the Frederick H. Bowis Community Fund.&nbsp;The group will meet on: May 13, May 27, June 10, June 24, July 7(Wednesday), July 22, August 5. This is an online class.

For more than a century, the U.S. government’s obsession over oil has shaped its foreign policy, from ensuring access to Middle East reserves during World War I to Donald Trump’s moves to tap Venezuela’s reserves and repel Iran’s attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for oil tankers. This lecture examines how U.S. determination to protect oil supplies at all costs has triggered foolhardy conflicts and the befriending of despots–regrettable evidence of a never-ending energy insecurity.<a href="https://washington-metro.oasiseverywhere.org/product/the-oily-politics-of-petroleum/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Register here.</a>About Washington Metro Oasis: Our mission is to empower adults age 50+ to lead active, healthy, and enriched lives through a unique mix of lifelong learning, social, health, and volunteer programs.
