Lynne Raisor, Family Caregiver Resource Specialist with the Albemarle Commission, our area agency on aging, will be our guest speaker on Thursday Feb. 12th. We will meet at 11:30 at the Players Grille at the Nags Head Golf links.

The Area Agency on Aging is the organization mandated under the provisions of the Older American's Act of 1965 to work on behalf of older adults and their caregivers in Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hyde, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Tyrrell and Washington Counties. It is the AAA's mission to empower senior adults to enhance their quality of life through training, education, mediation, advocacy and coordination of services.

Family Caregiver Support Program- The National Family Caregiver Support Program was established to help family and informal caregivers care for their loved ones at home for as long as possible. FSCP helps caregivers by providing information to connect them with the right resources; counseling, support groups, and education; respite (short term relief); and short term or one time only services.

Join us for lunch on your own and have an opportunity to learn about these programs from Lynne in an informal atmosphere.

There is no charge but please call Gail at 480-3354 to register and let us know you are coming. GEM Day Services is a local non-profit championing for supports and services for families caring for loved ones with memory challenges. For more information check our website: www.gemdayservices.org
