From fun trips abroad, to harrowing flights from danger, to a simple family tradition, you never know what secrets are hiding in the past of your friends and neighbors…or your own memories. Come to New Horizons throughout the year and hear about the unique and fascinating experiences of others in your community…and then sign up to share your own. Episode 3: “History with Janaki Giri - World Traveler and Healer”: Join us to hear the inspiring story of Janaki Giri as she tells of her experiences in both India and America. Janaki will speak of her days growing up in Devakottai in India before she moved to America later in life, transitioning between the two cultures.

Authors Series
April 2026: Dr. Marlene Kushner: "Sense of Direction" Various published authors come to New Horizons to present their published books and answer questions. Join your friends, neighbors, and literary enthusiasts, and find some new material to read, written by experts in their field. Books are available at the Center before the presentation or on Amazon.com, as well as other locations (see below). Last Session: April 2026: Dr. Marlene Kushner discusses "Sense of Direction": On Friday, April 10, at 1:00 PM author and New Horizons member Marlene Kushner comes to Narberth Borough Hall to discuss her autobiographical novel. “Sense of Direction” is a book that explores both Marlene’s own personal tale of her professional and personal life as a neurodivergent neuropsychologist and also offers insights into how to help students and adults struggling with an “invisible disorder.” Poignant, heartwarming, and informative by turns, the book is, in the words of one critic, “a model of self-determination, never losing its sense of direction.” Join your friends and neighbors to hear about this incredible story of perseverance and personal triumph, told by the one who lived it all. PLEASE NOTE that Lunch has been CANCELLED for this program. We apologize for the inconvenience. Books Currently Available at: Amazon.com MARLENE K. KUSHNER, ED.D., has always looked to raise awareness about those who learn differently. She has served as an accommodation specialist in disability centers at a number of colleges and universities throughout the country. In addition to working with students, she has given presentations to faculties and authored papers for professionals as well as for the general public. During her long service to aid others, she discovered that she herself has several learning disabilities. This fact has given her a unique perspective on how people with such “hidden disorders” function and has helped her to shape several programs to help the learning disabled of all ages. Marlene has earned a number of distinguished degrees in her time, including a B.A., cum laude, at Hunter College of the City University of New York, a M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and an Ed.D with a specialization in The Neuropsychology of Learning Disorders from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Among her many rewards and honors are a position in Psi Chi, The National Honor Society of Psychology, a national certification as a School Psychologist, several Ushkow Foundation Grants to work on projects to evaluate programs for learning disabled college students, and a Certificate of Recognition from the Association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities. SENSE OF DIRECTION Marlene describes her book as follows: “The book is based upon my personal and professional experiences over decades, providing neuropsychological services to students who are neurodiverse-who learn differently. Although I have served students in all grades, I specialized in working at the college and graduate level. This book is unique in several ways. First, I utilized my neuropsychological training and research to explore the thoughts, emotions and experiences of a person who has ‘invisible disabilities’ such as I do. Second, in addition to my memoir, is material about practices and procedures which are ordinarily inaccessible to the student or parent(s) of the individual receiving services. Third is a section offering resources in two broadly based categories- technological aides as well as associations providing support and information to special populations. One example is The Learning Disability Association of America. Although psychologists often disagree about what constitutes good practice, there are some areas of consensus. Early diagnosis and intervention can be the difference between a successful outcome and one that is significantly less so. Having shared the frustration and pain of students who were not provided the necessary experience and training to handle rigorous university assignments overcame my reluctance to share myself with the public. Finally, there is a section following research into attentional disorders and learning disabilities, beginning in the eighteenth century." In Person at Narberth Borough Hall

(Please register for the lunch by July 8) Last Session: July 17, 2026 at 11:00 AM: (Rescheduled from July 24) “Dr. Mütter’s Marvels" by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz Enter the world of medicine in the mid-nineteenth century. A world where personal hygiene and basic cleanliness before operations are practically unheard of -- as unheard of as providing a simple pain killer to the patient before the operation begins. This is the world Dr. Thomas Dent Mütter stepped into when he began his career as a plastic surgeon based in Philadelphia. And it was a world he did not agree with at all. In his short life -- he died at only 48 years old -- Dr. Mütter completely redefined the medical practices of his time, introducing such revolutionary concepts as compassion for the medically deformed and using ether us anesthesia during an operation. Beloved by his students and hated by his rivals, he is remembered to this day as a brilliant innovator who helped to establish Philadelphia as a pioneer in medical practices and studies. Author Cristin Aptowicz offers a detailed and engrossing retelling of Dr. Mütter’s life, showcasing the choices and challenge he faced both inside and outside the operating room as he worked to change medicine -- and Philadelphia’s image -- forever.

Topics will range from Drama to Comedy to Romance...and everything in between. August 10 at Noon: "Suffragette": Meryl Streep and Carey Mulligan star in a drama set in 1912 London during the struggle of working-class women to gain the right to vote -- a struggle that will cost many of them their reputations, family, and even their lives. Loosely based on true events, the story depicts the tale of British laundry worker Maud Watts, using her to showcase the fight of many working-class women of that time. Persuaded to join the suffragette movement after hearing a speech by Emmeline Pankhurst, Maud quickly becomes embroiled in the ongoing struggle even as she finds herself at odds with her husband and her employers both. Becoming increasingly more radical as her personal life begins to collapse around her, Maud faces choice after difficult choice, until she decides to join fellow suffragette Emily Davison in a risky move that will either at last bring success to their efforts…or end them for good.
