Lunch and 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, November 18 from 11:30-12:30.  

Registration required at:https://www.decorahlibrary.org/events/lunch-and-learn-11-18-2026

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 Hite, 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!

November will feature a presentation on estates and beyond, presented by Erick Kephart, trust officer and VP at Decorah Bank and Trust. Estate planning is a process and can seem daunting. If you’re not sure where to start, this session is for you. It will provide an introduction to the basics of estate planning, address common misconceptions, cover some common mistakes and how to avoid them, and the overall importance of having an estate plan. Come for an engaging, educational, and informative session. 

To help with meal planning, please register by the end of the day on Sunday, November 15 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.
