A self-management program to help you learn how to make choices to live healthier with chronic disease and lower your risk of related health problems.

If you have a long-lasting (chronic) disease like arthritis, diabetes, cancer, obesity, or heart disease, you’re not alone. About half of all American adults have at least one chronic disease –and 1 in 4 has two or more.

But here’s the good news: there’s a LOT you can do to help manage chronic disease and prevent related problems.

The performance will feature Mozart’s Exultate Jubilate. This religious solo motet was composed when Mozart was staying in Milan during the production of his opera Lucio Silla which was being performed there in the Teatro Regio Ducal. It was written for the castrato Venanzio Rauzzini, who had sung the part of the primo uomo Cecilio in Lucio Silla the previous year. While waiting for the end of the run (from 26 December 1772 to 25 January 1773), Mozart composed the motet for his singer, whose technical excellence he admired. Its first performance took place at the Theatine Church on 17 January 1773, while Rauzzini was still singing in Mozart’s opera at night. Mozart made some revisions around 1780. In modern times, the motet is usually sung by a female soprano. The motet is composed three movements, the third is the very famous Alleluia! Additional music will be announced during the program.

Although Parkinson’s disease is often diagnosed in people who are over 60, there are people with Parkinson’s who are diagnosed in their 50’s, 40’s or even 30’s. Young Onset Parkinson Disease raises a host of questions, concerns and experiences. The typical format of the meeting is: a group checks-in, announcements and then break-out into two groups: people with Parkinson’s and partners.

Many people are not aware that over 10,000 tigers and untold numbers of lions, catamounts, and leopards live in the United States, many of them as house pets. A small group of big cat sanctuaries try their best to rescue as many abused and abandoned wild cats as possible, providing them the best care they can for the rest of their lives. Come listen to the stories of these amazing animals and what it’s like to rescue and care for them from animal welfare specialist and local Montpelierite Willow Hecht, who has been working with big cats around the world since 2007. She’s the former Education Director and Senior Keeper at Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, FL and currently studies animal welfare, ethics and law at the University of Edinburgh.
