The Frances Pew Hayes Center for Lifelong Learning at Hodges University will host a free lecture on how families can staying connected and continue to nurture relationships across the miles. The session will be conducted at the Barrington Terrace Learning Center, 5175 Tamiami Trail East, in Naples, on Monday, March 28 from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.

Whether family members are an hour away, or a half a world away, there are so many ways to stay connected and involved in their lives.  Participants will learn how to maintain closeness with children, grandchildren, and other spe­cial people in their lives despite the miles that separate them.  Topics for this program will include: establishing long-distance relationships, keeping in touch over time, and adapting relationships as kids grow older.  This class will help participants bridge the physical and generational gap that can come between you and the children you love. Participants will walk away with practical ideas, and even a few supplies to help get started. This program is intended for those with children under the age of 16.

The session is free of charge but reservations are required. For more information, please contact Christine Wheeler at (239) 598-6210.
