AUBURN — Adam Wyatt Lacher will be the guest speaker of the Lewiston-Auburn Breakfast Rotary Club Wednesday, July 19, from 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. at the United Methodist Church, 439 Park Ave.
Lacher has been working in the nonprofit sector for the past 15 years. Between 2002 and 2011, he worked for several social justice and creative economy organizations in Maine and abroad. Between 2011 and 2015, he focused his community organizing efforts on education, income, health and rural poverty issues in his role as director of community engagement at United Way of Eastern Maine in Bangor; however, it’s Bangor no longer for Lacher.
For the past two years, Lacher has lead the statewide advocacy and public policy efforts for the Alzheimer’s Association out of the Maine chapter office in Scarborough. He will discuss how “Act on Alzheimer’s” helps participants learn to dispel misinformation and overcome the stigma associated with Alzheimer’s disease and related forms of dementia. Furthermore, participants will be introduced to the early warning signs, as well as ways to help reduce one’s risk of developing the condition. This talk is designed to help folks take an active role in the fight to end Alzheimer’s disease.
Reservations are not required to attend; breakfast is $10 per person. To learn more, contact Pete Preble at jeff.preble@wright-pierce.com or visit www.auburn-lewistonrotary.org/.
