Chesapeake Forum offers a helpful guide for Talking with Your Doctor, with Marion Donahue. Do you sometimes leave your doctor’s office and then realize that you forgot to mention something important? Were you reluctant to discuss an important topic because you felt unprepared? This course helps to know what questions to ask, and other practical tips related to healthcare. Based on a National Institute on Aging publication, “Talking with your Doctor,” this course will serve as a guide for how to talk with your doctor, how to prepare for your appointment, your participation in decisions related to your care, and other practical tips to help a person navigate the healthcare system. Each participant will receive a copy of the NIA publication. This HYBRID Course takes place on Thursday, Feb 3 from 1 to 2:30 pm, $10. You may attend in-person at the Easton Peachblossom YMCA, by Zoom, or Recording. To register for this class, visit the website at www.chesapeakeforum.org.
Annapolis Maritime Museum Winter Lecture Series
February 3rd, 7 p.m.; Virtual Event
Ancient Oysters and Modern Messes: How Archaeology Can Help Clean the Bay. Oysters struggle to grow in much of the upper Chesapeake Bay today, but thousands of archaeological sites full of oyster shells tell us that they were once plentiful. These sites show how Indigenous people fished the Bay for thousands of years, and how the relationship between people and the Bay has shifted over the past few centuries. Address how Chesapeake environments and cultures have changed, and investigate a few archaeological clues about what we could do differently today.

African American Heritage Tour
February 4th through 26th; Downtown Annapolis
Trace the journey of African Americans, and explore their impact both nationally and internationally. This 2-hour walking tour, offered in partnership with the Kunte Kinte-Alex Haley Foundation and named a “Heritage Award Winner” by the Four Rivers Heritage Area, starts at Market House Park across from Annapolis City Dock, where slave ships entered 300 years ago. The Alex Haley statue that marks the significance of the author of Roots and the journey of his ancestor Kunte Kinte is featured. Symbolically, the stroll continues uphill through local history to the State House and the statue of Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court Justice. Hear of famous Marylanders, such as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. Your period-attired guide will highlight the importance of the Underground Railroad in the Chesapeake Bay region. During colonial times, the labor of both the enslaved and free blacks was the cornerstone upon which the tobacco economy was built. In the 19th-century, Maryland was home to more free African Americans than any other state. Presently, Maryland continues to grow because of the important contributions made by her African American residents. The Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Foundation receives 20% of the proceeds. Every Saturday in February.

February 6th through 13th; Virtual Event
In a typical year, The Light House Homeless Prevention Support Center serves over 2,000 community members in need. In two years of Covid-19, that number has jumped by more than 40%. Yet, they continue to serve hundreds of people daily with fresh meals, pantry items, case management, clothing, showers, and other basic needs. Since 2007, Heritage Baptist Church has hosted the SOUPer Bowl Lunch for the Light House, on the same day as the National Football League’s “Super” championship game. This donation-only event has raised over $37,000 cumulatively for the Light House. Pandemic precautions prevent the in-person gathering this year, but the event will continue virtually, with 100% of funds donated going directly to the Light House. The 16th Annual SOUPer Bowl Fundraiser for the Light House will be held online February 6-13, 2022, via the church website (HeritageLoves.Com) and social media platforms, with the goal of raising $2,000. One hundred percent of donated funds will go directly to the Light House.
