Empowering workshop offered Thursday

PORT ANGELES — Michael Bucierka will present “Home and Automotive Maintenance” at 1 p.m. Thursday.

The hybrid workshop is in the conference room at Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 829 E. Eighth St.

Bucierka is a former licensed general contractor, home inspector and residential maintenance professional.

He will discuss regular home and automotive maintenance tasks along with a discussion about which tasks can be performed by a homeowner and which should be left to a professional.

The presentation is the first workshop in VHOCC’s Empower Yourself: Practical Tools for Living Alone series, which offers support and practical advice on everyday challenges for those who have lost a loved one or are preparing to live alone.

Future presentations in the weekly series include, “Shopping and Cooking for One” with Rosalinda Castiglioni, “Household Finances” with Penney Sanders and “Self-Care” with Debby Smith and Maggie Bourne-Raiswell.
