Joseph Jacobsen is the twelfth (and favorite) child amongst thirteen siblings working for
their father’s advertisement company in Colorado. Underneath the seemingly perfect family, extreme jealousy towards Joseph runs deep, eventually ruining his relationship with
his family, work, and soon-to-be wife. Without any other options, Joseph moves to
Chicago in search of a new life, and gets hired and works his way up the ladder in an advertising company. He soon meets April,
with a secret of her own, and ultimately must face his own past before any promises of the
future.

DECEMBER’S FEATURED SPEAKERS
December 1, 10:00 a.m.– Alan Gordos from United Healthcare will be here to answer all your questions about your healthcare plan before open enrollment
ends.
December 6, 11:00 a.m.-The Cleveland Sight Center will talk about their Independent Living Program. If you are visually impaired, this program can help improve
your quality of life with vision rehabilitation and assistive technology training. It includes daily living activities,
mobility skills and a low vision evaluation. Classes will be held at SCR.
With the holiday season upon us,
scammers are unfortunately doing their
best work to steal from others. Be sure to
HANG UP if a caller threatens or scares
you, if a caller asks you to wire money or pay with
iTunes cards, or if a caller claims to be a grandchild
who needs bail money. If you are unsure what to do,
call the Cuyahoga County Department of Consumer
Affairs at 216-443-7035 before you send money or
personal information, or see an SCR staff person.
Interested in spreading some
holiday cheer? Join SCR
crochet participants to make
sleeping mats for the homeless
out of plastic grocery bags.
We will meet at SCR at 9:30
a.m. every Tuesday and
Thursday. Our goal is to make
60 mats throughout the next
four months...We need your
help! Please contact Bethany,
Liz or Kim for more info!
