We will be screening the film Last Ecstatic Days for a second time on Tuesday, November 12th at 6:00pm Riposta Funeral Home — followed by a discussion.

We are taking this opportunity to gather as a community to explore the topic of how each of us and our community family might want our final days to unfold and to assess if there is interest in a hospice house and what the next steps might be.

If you would like to see this film or be part of the discussion about starting a hospice house, please RSVP to hvowc1@gmail.com we would love to see you there. If you have already seen the film, you are welcome to see it a second time OR just come after the film showing for small group discussions and brainstorming.

The film starts at 6:00pm and the discussion starts at 7:30pm

We would appreciate a contribution to cover the costs of screening the movie. RSVP: 505-4434 or waldohospicevolunteers@gmail.com
