🌟 Join Us for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2024 🌟
Mark your calendars for a special event dedicated to recognizing World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) 2024! Hosted by Elder Options, in collaboration with Alachua Senior Recreation Center, we invite you to join us on June 14th, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
📍 Event Location: Alachua Senior Recreation Center, 5701 NW 34th Blvd, Gainesville, FL 32653
🎉 This year’s theme is “Seniors deserve our respect and our attention.” Let’s unite in raising awareness about elder abuse, a pressing issue affecting our older population. Elder abuse is an act that harms our seniors and is often perpetrated by those they trust. Together, we can make a difference because elder abuse is everyone’s business!
☕️ Come and enjoy coffee, donuts, and engaging conversations with like-minded individuals who share a passion for advocating for our seniors’ well-being. Our event will feature 4 keynote speakers who will shed light on the importance of protecting our seniors and fostering a culture of respect and care.
🗣️ Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in a live speaker Q&A session where you can ask questions, share insights, and contribute to the conversation.
💜 Remember to wear purple, the official color of WEAAD, and show your support for spreading awareness and standing against elder abuse.
Together, let’s celebrate our seniors and work towards a future where they are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Your presence at this event is not only appreciated but crucial in our mission to combat elder abuse. Join us as we shine a spotlight on this important cause and make a difference in the lives of our seniors.
