Empowering Independence: Addressing Barriers to Aging in Place
Co-Sponsor: St Leonard
Date: March 13, 2025
Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Location: Franciscan Center, 8200 Provincial Way, Centerville, OH 45458
Join us for our next Voices and Stories panel discussion to share conversation and promote understanding. As the global population ages, the desire for older adults to "age in place"—to remain in their homes or their desired communities as they grow older—becomes an increasingly important topic of discussion. This panel will explore the concept of aging in place, addressing the various physical, emotional, and societal challenges that arise as individuals strive to maintain independence and quality of life in their familiar surroundings.
Panelists:
Our panel of experts will discuss:
Following the panel discussion, visit with several community organizations that provide services to older adults.

PROGRAM CHANGE
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Ms. JoAnne Bland will not be able to join us. While we will certainly miss her, we are excited to announce that her sister, Lynda Blackmon Lowery, will be stepping in as our keynote speaker. We look forward to hearing her inspiring message!
Lynda Blackmon Lowery has been a key figure in the civil rights movement since the early 1960s. A member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), she marched in pivotal events like "Bloody Sunday" and "Turn Around Tuesday" and was the youngest marcher in the historic Selma to Montgomery March. Beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge during Bloody Sunday, she required 35 stitches. Her early activism against Jim Crow laid the foundation for her lifelong work in civil and human rights. She is also the author of Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March.
For more information about Ms Lowery, please see these links:
Although it may be chilly outside Monday morning, but Yankee Trace will be warm with fellowship, understanding, and acceptance. We look forward to welcoming you for this engaging and inspiring presentation!
The annual breakfast, made possible by generous community sponsors, will take place at 7:30
AM at the Golf Club at Yankee Trace. Tickets are $25 and although we are sold out, we have been able to add a couple more tickets. They will go FAST! Use the link below today!
