LEWISTON — Taysir Jama, a health promotion coordinator at Healthy Androscoggin, will be the featured guest speaker at the LA Rotary meeting from noon to 1 p.m Thursday April 6, at Ramada Inn, 490 Pleasant St.
Jama plays two roles in the Lewiston-Auburn community. As a health promotion coordinator for Healthy Androscoggin, she is responsible for building awareness about lead poisoning, educating communities about lead hazards and prevention methods. Lead is a poison affecting every system in the human body; it is particularly harmful to the developing brain and nervous system of fetuses and young children. The effects of lead poisoning are irreversible, with Lewiston and Auburn having the highest rate of childhood lead poisoning in the state.
Taysir is also a community outreach specialist at YWCA of Central Maine, promoting the single-gender women’s swim class.
Reservations are not required to attend the Rotary meeting. Lunch is available for $10 at Fusion Restaurant within Ramada Inn. For more information on future Rotary speakers, contact President-Elect and Program Chair Monica Millhime, 753.9040, or email mmillhime@wmca.org.
