SUMMARY:Understanding Your Medicare Coverage Options
DESCRIPTION:The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period\, which takes place between October 15 and December 7\, provides an opportunity for seniors to consider their Medicare options and make important changes to their coverage as appropriate.

He will explain all components of the Medicare program\, as well as address changes that have been made to both Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans for 2026. \nThis online event is organized by East Rock Creek Village\, but is open to everyone.

SUMMARY:Know Your Options: Getting Organized
DESCRIPTION:The beginning of the year is a time to refresh and set goals. Many resolve to get organized but sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Join professional organizer Judy Tiger and professional daily money manager Leah Nichaman as they walk us through tips on organizing your home\, downsizing\, paperwork solutions\, streamlining payments\, and more. Judy and Leah will also share how a professional can help get you started on a path to organization. \nJudy Tiger is the owner of Just That Simple\, a company that provides decluttering and organizing services as well as ‘get ready to move’ services throughout the DC area. Owner Judy Tiger came to organizing after many years in the nonprofit sector and a childhood in the foreign service. This diverse background is reflected in her organizing skills\, her attention to detail\, her dedication to helping everyone and her sensitivity to the individual needs of each client. She believes that you deserve to be safe and happy at home\, to easily find things you need and to have places to put them away again. If that is not happening now\, she believes you could use a little help. As she says\, “It’s just that simple!” \nLeah Nichaman founded Everyday Money Management in 2006 to serve people with disabilities\, senior citizens\, and those dealing with a life change such as a serious medical condition\, divorce or loss of a spouse. Leah’s work at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) taught her that financial organization is a challenge for many people\, particularly those with mental illness\, intellectual disabilities and dementia. She is an organized person who loves to bring order to anything – especially paperwork – and believes that financial organization plays a key role in keeping her clients independent and secure. Leah is the past president of the American Association of Daily Money Managers. She also volunteers as a Representative Payee for low income clients through EveryMind (formerly the Mental Health Association of Montgomery County). Leah holds a degree in Cognitive Science from Brown University. She has lived in several cities in the US and overseas\, including Jerusalem\, Israel and Tokyo\, Japan. Leah lives in Rockville\, Maryland with her husband\, Loren\, and has two adult daughters.

SUMMARY:Getting Ready to Use Ranked Choice Voting
DESCRIPTION:Beginning with the June 2026 DC Primary Elections\, voters will use Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in Primary and General Elections. With RCV\, voters can rank candidates in order of preference instead of choosing just one candidate per office—giving voters a new opportunity to shape election outcomes. This session will help you feel confident\, informed\, and ready to vote. East Rock Creek Village volunteer leader and League of Women Voters DC trustee Ann Castiglione-Cataldo will lead the session.

SUMMARY:A Convenient Villain: Charles A. Lindbergh's Remarkable and Controversial Legacy Preparing the U.S. for War
DESCRIPTION:“A Convenient Villain: Charles A. Lindbergh’s Remarkable and Controversial Legacy Preparing the U.S. for War“\, is a new biography of Charles Lindbergh written from a unique perspective: a Jewish aerospace engineer.\nSpeaker: Jonathan D. Reich\, MD\, M Sc Engineering \nCharles Lindbergh may be the most controversial figure of the Twentieth Century. His pioneering flight across the Atlantic Ocean\, the kidnapping and murder of his son\, and his political advocacy made him one of the most famous men of his era. His legacy is clouded by apocryphal stories\, allegations of anti-Semitism and racism\, and efforts to ignore his contributions to American security and society. The constant repetition of allegations\, without analysis\, has resulted in generations of Jews being convinced that he was evil. \nThe truth is much more complicated and nuanced. While Lindbergh opposed Jewish interests in the run-up to World War II\, he never denied the right of Jews to advocate nor minimized German oppression. He canceled visits to Germany as a protest after Kristallnacht\, he was the only man who negotiated with the Germans who addressed Jewish grievances\, and he used his influence to try to get Jews out of Germany. \nA Convenient Villain traces Lindbergh’s contribution to U.S. preparation for World War II\, his scientific advances\, and his advocacy. Lindbergh’s pre-World War II advocacy is judged from a distinct vantage point: a Jewish generation that matured after the Six-Day War and carried forward a newly confident\, less insecure American-Jewish identity as a result. Lindbergh’s legacy is compared to President Roosevelt’s\, who obstructed Jewish immigration to the U.S. There are surprising lessons to be learned for those concerned with today’s anti-Semitism. \nDr. Jonathan D. Reich is a cardiologist on the faculty at Johns Hopkins and Stanford Schools of Medicine. He was an aerospace engineer prior to going to medical school. He has spoken about Lindbergh’s legacy at the Mayo Clinic\, the National Museum of Health and Medicine\, the Missouri Historical Society\, and various World War II and aerospace museums. He has been invited to speak at the ceremonies commemorating the 100th anniversary of Lindbergh’s trans-Atlantic flight in May 2027. \nPart of Northwest Neighbors Village Virtual Speaker Series.

SUMMARY:DC Villages Advocacy & Lobbying Workshop
DESCRIPTION:DC Villages Collaborative (DCVC) is hosting its third informative and interactive Advocacy Workshop designed to equip Villages and aging advocates with the tools\, confidence\, and shared language needed to influence policy at a critical moment for aging in the District. This timely Advocacy Workshop is designed to prepare for the 2026 policy and political changes ahead and how they affects our Village network. \nAs our City moves toward the November 2026 elections\, important shifts are on the horizon including changes in DC Council and Mayoral leadership and the implementation of ranked choice voting for the first time in District elections. At the same time\, the District’s annual Spring budget cycle will determine funding priorities for aging services\, DACL support\, housing\, transportation\, and the programs that make aging in community possible. \n\nWhy This Workshop Matters\nVillage leaders and members represent one of the most civically engaged and reliable voting blocs in the District. Understanding how the budget and election systems work empowers our community to advocate with clarity\, credibility\, and one unified voice. \nIn a year of structural changes — new ballots\, leadership turnover\, and shifting priorities – informed engagement is essential. This workshop ensures that DC’s Village movement is prepared\, proactive\, and positioned to protect and advance the interests of older adults across the city. \n\nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is open to everyone in the DCVC community – not just advocacy committee members. \nYou should attend if you are a: \n\nVillage leader or board member\nStaff person or volunteer\nEngaged Village member\nPartner invested in aging equity in DC\n\nIf you care about strengthening Villages and advancing equity for older adults\, this session is for you! If you cannot attend in person\, the session will be recorded and supporting materials will be distributed via email following the meeting. \n\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nA clear overview of the DC budget cycle and where Village advocacy can make the greatest impact\nInsight into how the 2026 elections could reshape Council committees\, oversight priorities\, and funding decisions\nAn introduction to ranked choice voting and what it means for senior voters\nGuidance on how Villages can engage consistently and strategically\, not just during hearings and the budget cycle\, but year-round
