Lunch & Learn

Decorah Public Library and Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging (NEI3A) invite community members 60 and older to a monthly Lunch and Learn program at Decorah Public Library. The meal and presentation will take place in the library’s lower level meeting room on Wednesday, July 15 from 11:30-12:30.    Registration required at: https://www.decorahlibrary.org/events/lunch-and-learn-07-15-2026 Lunch & Learn is a welcoming event for adults 60 and older who are interested in staying informed, active, and connected. The goal of the program is to help build community and strong relationships among older adults while enjoying a nutritious meal. Each month features a guest speaker covering a wide range of engaging topics, plus lunch and nutrition education information. A free will donation to help cover the cost of the meal is appreciated.   Lunch & Learn is hosted Hallie Evans, Nutrition Aging Specialist at NEI3A. In her role with NEI3A, Hallie collaborates with partners to ensure that the needs of older individuals are met, provides nutrition services and offers evidence-based health promotion classes. Hallie’s offering will include a nutrition education presentation and light, accessible exercises-if we have time!  July will feature the second presentation on fraud prevention. Ron Onsager is one of the RSVP Fraud Fighter presenters who has been trained by the Iowa Insurance Division. He has given presentations to a variety of civic groups as well as community presentations. He especially enjoys smaller groups where a more interactive forum is possible. He will be presenting a variety of fraud and scam practices that are currently going on in our communities. Knowledge of these scams is the best form of prevention.   To help with meal planning, please register by the end of the day on Sunday, July 12 at decorahlibrary.org, by stopping in at the library, or by calling 563.382.3717.  For more information, please contact Zach Row-Heyveld at Decorah Public Library – zrow-heyveld@decorahlibrary.org or by calling 563.382.3717.
