LARGO

Heritage Village, 11909 125th St. N, will serve as a backdrop for students studying black-and-white photography.

Participants will meet from noon to 4 p.m. Jan. 13 and 14. The class will be taught at the Gulf Coast Museum of Art's photography studio, and the shooting will take place at Heritage Village.

Instructor Ric Savid will teach fundamentals of black-and-white image-making with a manual 35mm camera. The class also will cover the wet-process darkroom and discuss aperture and light variations. Savid was a St. Petersburg Times reporter before teaching photography to at-risk youth and adults.

The workshop fee is $100 per person, with a 10 percent discount for members of the Pinellas County Historical Society and Gulf Coast Museum of Art, and a $15 materials fee.

Participants do not need their own cameras because 35mm cameras will be on loan for the workshop.

To register, call 582-2426.

Jewish center to run Alzheimer's program

The Golda Meir/Kent Jewish Center has been chosen by the Brookdale Foundation in New York to receive funding for a program to help people with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia and their family caregivers.

The program will take place at the Golda Meir/Kent Jewish Center one day a week from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The program will provide an opportunity for Alzheimer's patients to enjoy stimulating mental, physical and social activities such as intergenerational sing-alongs, word and trivia games, reminiscing and indoor chair exercises. Patients also will receive a morning snack and a kosher lunch.

The program will provide caregivers time to relax, run errands or use the Golda Meir/Kent Jewish Center's resources. It also will include a biweekly caregiver support group.

The program is expected to begin in early 2007. To learn more or to apply, call Jeanette Brownstein at (727) 302-3737.
