Elderhood Roundtables at the Lacey library every fourth Tuesday through May 2026. Next one is March 24th at 1:00pm! Join us on March 24th at the Lacey Library at 1:00 for an informal social gathering of elders. This will be a group directed discussion about the challenges, and rewards, of aging. Hear what others have to say and share your experience of aging. Aging is challenging. We shouldn't have to face it alone. To paraphrase a country song, "Let's fall to pieces together. Why should we all fall apart?" Mark your calendar for March 24th at the Lacey Library at 1:00pm Free admission - Feel free to bring home baked treats like cookies, pastries, snack bars, etc. to share! |

Death Cafes are now held in 5 public venues in Thurston County. If you don't know what a Death Cafe is, at a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. Our objective is "to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives." A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than grief counseling or funeral planning, although these topics are fair game. Other topics might include your thoughts, feelings and experiences relating to: life after death, past lives, near death experiences, reincarnation, ghostly apparitions, loss, memorial rites/customs, methods of dealing with mortal remains, etc, etc… Death Cafes are always offered:
