The Nov 4 event features speakers Ruth Brown, LBWS, LNFA, a community educator with the Alzheimer’s Association, and Dan Gibbons, Attorney, with the Gibbons Law firm. Ms. Brown will explain the warning signs to look out for with your loved ones and give tips for managing expectations and adapting holiday traditions. Mr. Gibbons will address issues regarding legal planning.
Jenny Wilson, Executive Director of the United Way of Lamar County, explained, “Our first lunch and learn back in September was very successful. We hope those facing the challenges of caring for loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer’s will also come to this event. In addition to our two speakers, we will also have an expert panel to answer questions that those in attendance might have.”
