LAKEPORT, Calif. — The latest in a series of protests against government policies and overreach will be held this weekend.

The “No Kings” event will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at Museum Square in downtown Lakeport.

The Lakeport event is one of an estimated 3,000 protests planned across the United States and around the world that day.

Lake County Indivisible, the chapter of the national group organizing the protests, said of the event, “We gather to defend ourselves and our communities against unjust and cruel acts of violence. We gather to claim our power in the face of tyranny. We gather to INSIST on the Constitution, Rule of Law, justice, and human decency.”

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Community members are invited to attend a free educational program focused on maintaining brain health and building habits that support memory and cognitive function. 

The program, “Building Brain-Healthy Habits,” will take place on Wednesday, March 18 from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Lake County Library’s Redbud Branch, 14785 Burns Valley Road in Clearlake.

Presented by the Alzheimer’s Association, this informative session will highlight research-based lifestyle habits that may help protect memory and thinking as people age. 

Studies show that everyday choices – such as regular exercise, healthy eating, and maintaining heart health – can play a role in reducing the risk of cognitive decline and possibly dementia.

During the program, participants will learn about:

• Healthy lifestyle habits that support brain health;
• The connection between heart health and brain function;
• Why brain health matters at every stage of life;
• How to build a personalized action plan for maintaining brain-healthy habits.

The event is open to the public and designed for anyone interested in learning practical ways to support long-term brain health.

For more information about this program or other educational offerings, visit alz.org/CRF or contact the Redbud Library at 707-994-5115.
