Cass County Council on Aging, 227 S. Front St. in Dowagiac, is providing a tutorial on aging, “Journeying with Your Parents as They Age.” The class teaches all the things that no one tells you about getting older.

The next session will be 10 a.m. to noon Oct. 12, 26 and Nov. 2 at Front Street Crossing. Register by Oct. 4 to ensure a place in this free class.

The class provides useful tips for everyone who is getting older, whether they’re caring for a loved one or looking out for themselves. Family members can attend together to generate more ideas for their lives.

Some issues discussed in the class include concerns for aging drivers, finding the best living situation for any individual and working together with family members, even if they live far away.

The class is led by Dona Billey-Weiler, CSA director of adult education and life enrichment. Call (269) 445-8110 to register.
