| Penn Memory Center seeks public input to improve outreach
The Penn Memory Center seeks to develop more informative and engaging healthy brain education through its community programming. To support this effort, feedback is sought from the public about how the center can tailor its outreach efforts to best meet people's needs and interests relating to cognitive health, understanding risk and related topics. Feedback and suggestions are being collected through a short, anonymous survey.
| Central Senior Services presents "Scripting the Movies" on zoom
Our friend Dick Levinson of the Senior Center at The Central Library of Philadelphia has invited us to a zoom program on Friday, December 6 at 11:00 am, called “Scripting The Movies: The Mankiewicz Brothers in Hollywood”. If you love movies---and great Hollywood stories, this program is for you. It is the story of Herman & Joe Mankiewicz, two brothers from New York who played major roles in the production of great films like The Wizard of Oz, two Marx Brothers movies, Guys and Dolls, and The Philadelphia Story.
This event will feature guest speaker Nick Davis, a filmmaker and Mankiewicz family member. Nick is also the author of “Competing With Idiots: Herman & Joe Mankiewicz, A Dual Portrait.”
