Did God originally intend to create a Man? The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum is open at 3039 Piqua Avenue, Fort Wayne, IN 46806. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 AM to 4 PM.

Men As Caregivers Support Group
2nd and 4th Thursdays monthly, from 6:30-8:00pm
Crescent Avenue United Methodist Church, 1232 Crescent Ave., Fort Wayne, IN 46805
Sponsored by Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana
A group designed for men who find themselves in the role of caregiver for members of their families due to all kinds of traumatic events. It's a fact that men process information and feelings differently than women, so this group will offer a place for men to interact with each other in a way that is most beneficial to them. The facilitator is Pastor Jim Evans, Jr. who conceived of the idea because he is the chief caregiver in his home due to his wife's chronic battle with cancer.
Cancer Services is the local non-profit organization that provides practical resources, emotional support (through client advocacy and support groups) and information to people with cancer and their families. More information about this organization can be found at www.cancer-services.org.
