This month, our Lambda Luncheon guest speaker will be Amy Peterson from Alzheimer’s Association. Amy is a former classroom teacher, reading specialist, and a private pilot. An early retirement allowed Amy to become full time caregiver for her husband who was diagnosed in his late forties with younger age Alzheimer’s Disease. She uses her experience from her eleven year Alzheimer’s journey to facilitate caregiver support groups, present community educations, and advocate at the state and national levels for dementia related legislation. She currently co-chairs the NV Public Policy Committee, writes a column on dementia for a local magazine, and is working on her book.
Join us to network, enjoy a delicious lunch, and learn more about the services offered by the Alzheimer’s Association.
