"Saving Our Parents"
Presented by the Stephen Ministry Team
Thursday, March 11 at 7pm
Room E210 (Education Bldg)

"Saving Our Parents" is a special documentary  film hosted by Ed Asner that helps viewers learn to avoid corporations and individuals who might prey on the elderly - including caregivers, conservators and nursing homes. Between 1990 and 2020, the number of 65 to 74 year olds in America will increase by 75%...so it is likely that either you or a loved one might fall into this category. This event is free and open to everyone!!
