Loving Frank Comes To Life At Taliesin

Guests: Kieran Murphy, Historic Researcher/Creator, Loving Frank Tour

Margaret Ingraham, Reader

Building on the best-selling book, Loving Frank, Kieran Murphy and Margaret Ingraham take us back to the days when Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney moved from Chicago to Spring Green where Frank designed and built Taliesin - the beautiful home and setting where they would spend their life together. Both married to other people, their adultress relationship endured the controversy and grew as Taliesin continued to emerge as the "shining brow" on the crown of the hill. It ended abruptly with the murders of Mamah and six others and the fire.

Loving Frank Tours are now being offered at Taliesin. For more information, go to www.taliesinpreservation.org or call 608-588-7900.

Guests: Eve Galanter, Chair
Johanna Hatch, Administrator & Project Coordinator
WISCONSIN WOMEN'S NETWORK

Learn about the new Wisconsin Elder Economic Security Standard Index, a tool that accurately reflects the real cost of aging in place today. Wisconsin is a pilot state for the application of this Elder Index, where decision-makers now have available to them on a county-by-county basis the current costs of housing, health care, food, transportation and other essentials for persons over 65. This updates the 50-year-old formula that has caculated the federal poverty level and will have great impact on shifting and adjusting programs to match what is needed for elders to achieve economic security. More information is available at www.wiwomensnetwork.org, or call 608-255-9809.
