“Thinking Again:
Exploring Your Own Aging”
Ms. Brown will discuss how long established ideas about what “old age” is going to look like
may not be accurate. We may have to plan for things to look differently as time passes. This is an opportunity to explore and consider how you
feel about your own aging and what role dementia may play in that future. Come and
prepare for your aging and that of your loved ones.
