🎉 Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Women and Children&#39;s Shelter of Barrie&#39;s International Women&#39;s Day Luncheon. It&#39;s an event like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉 This year we are thrilled to announce the Hospice Hummingbirds presenting Hospice Simcoe Advance Care Planning The Musical! About the Hospice Hummingbirds:&nbsp;In 2023, a dedicated group of Hospice Simcoe volunteers confronted a profound challenge: how can we encourage open conversations about death and dying in a way that is lighthearted, entertaining and informative.Surrounded by the realities of end of life care ,witnessing families grappling with unspoken wishes and unresolved regrets , we recognized the urgent need for advance care planning education in Simcoe County. &nbsp;Inspired by the power of the arts to bridge a difficult divide, the volunteers posed this question to themselves at a meeting. The answer emerged boldly: create a musical play. Through catchy melodies, witty dialogue, and relatable characters &ldquo;advance care planning the musical&rdquo; transformed a sombre theme into an uplifting narrative. What began as a grassroots effort among volunteers has quickly gained momentum, and feedback has revealed its impact: attendees are reporting &nbsp;initiating long overdue discussions.The reason for starting this play extends beyond entertainment &ndash; it is a call to action and our aim is to empower individuals to have this vital conversation to ensure their voices ,about their future health and personal care, are heard! Every registration to this event will bring us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all.
