Elderhood Senior Alliance Events - 2026

Elderhood Roundtables at the Lacey library every fourth Tuesday through May 2026. Next one is April 28th at 1:00pm!

Join us on April 28th 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 April 28th at the Lacey Library at 1:00pm 

Free admission - Feel free to bring home baked treats like cookies, pastries, snack bars, etc. to share!

Olympia Area Death Cafes

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:

  • On a not for profit basis
  • In an accessible, respectful and confidential space
  • With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action
  • Alongside refreshing coffee, tea – and cake!
