Here's what's happening in the Chattanooga area this week.
TO DO SUNDAY
Embrace aging. A program that offers the latest health, legal and financial strategies for growing older is scheduled Tuesday at the Westin hotel, 801 Pine St. The annual Embrace Aging Forum is meant to offer perspectives as baby boomers shake up the world of senior living. The keynote speaker is actress and author Tembi Locke, who wrote the New York Times best-seller "From Scratch," which explored her journey as caregiver to her late husband. Reese Witherspoon is adapting the book into a Netflix series that will debut later this year. Locke's acting career has included roles in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, "Proven Innocent" and "NCIS: LA." Tickets are $55, which includes Locke's address, complimentary valet parking, a light breakfast and lunch, time with the exhibitors and breakout sessions on housing and care, relationships, health and wellness, finances and legal planning.
