We are going to have an exciting program at our usual meeting of Denver Talks and are therefore opening the meeting up to others. The seating is very limited (20 people) so please let me know right away if you wish to attend. The location is south Denver with plenty of parking and the fee will be between $2 and $3. The talk is 60 minutes and will be on March 2 in the morning. The exact time, fee, and location will be sent soon after you sign up.
People will be attending for one or two reasons (or both):
- First, for the actual content of the talk (see below);
- Second, to see how to use clips from movies to educate.
Because of both the content and the style of delivery, the discussion promises to very lively.
Our speaker is Gail Rubin from Albuquerque. Here's a description of her talk:
Funny films can help start difficult conversations about death and funeral planning, as well as prompt meaningful conversations to improve families’ quality of life before there’s a death. Gail Rubin, author of A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don’t Plan to Die, uses films to help get the conversation started. Her "Funny Films for Serious Funeral Planning Conversations" includes scenes from Waking Ned Devine, Get Low, Undertaking Betty, The Big Lebowski, and Death at a Funeral.
Let me know very soon by e-mail if you want to be on the list to attend.
