State Sen. Bill Diamond will be the guest speaker at the upcoming Lake Region Elder Network meeting on Thursday, Nov. 1 at 9 a.m. at the Naples Muncipal Building on Route 302 (next to the post office).

“One of the more significant problems with assisting the elderly in our communities is identifying those in need and finding the resources to meet those needs”, said Diamond.

All are welcome to attend and share their own needs, ideas, and/or resources, as well as enjoy a free continental breakfast while listening to Sen. Diamond. His presentation will echo the purpose of the Lake Region Elder Network: “to identify needs in the community, promote awareness of existing resources, and develop new resources for unmet needs for adults 60 and over in the Lake Region.”

The Lake Region Elder Network meets the first Thursday of every other month. Future meetings are scheduled for Jan. 3, March 6, and May 1. The Lake Region Elder Network is co-sponsored by Southern Maine Agency on Aging and Wellness Associates.
