ANN ARBOR – The Older Adult Services Program of the Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County will hold a conversation June 17 on social, political, legal and medical issues that affect the LGBT older adult community.
Shari Robinson-Lynk, LMSW, ACSW, will give LGBT community members ways in which older adults can recognize ageism and heterosexism within their communities while discussing the various ways changes in everyday issues impact LGBT older adults.

The educational presentation is offered free of charge beginning at 7 p.m. at the Ann Arbor Jewish Community Center, located at 2935 Birch Hollow Drive in Ann Arbor. Registration is required. Contact Leah Zaas at 734-769-0209 or email her at [email protected] for more information.
