Elder Abuse Lunch and Learn Session with Lackawanna County Deputy

Chinchilla United Methodist Church (CUMC) (105 Church Street, South Abington Township) is excited to host another Lunch & Learn dedicated to topics of interest to Senior Citizens.

This lunch and educational event is free to anyone who would like to attend. Although the educational topic is focused towards Senior Citizens, there is no age restriction on who may attend.

Beginning at 12 noon on Saturday, November 18th, 2023, CUMC will offer a free lunch followed by an educational session on Elder Abuse. This session will educate attendees on the signs and symptoms of Elder Abuse and will be presented by Lackawanna County Deputy District Attorney, Cathy Tully. During this hour-long class, Tully will be explaining how to recognize various types of Elder Abuse, explain who is most susceptible to such abuse, and teach attendees how to combat any instance of Elder Abuse.

This class is vitally important to anyone who is related to or knows a Senior Citizen and the information provided could result in saving someone’s life savings or their actual life.

Prospective attendees are asked to RSVP with Beth Kostelnik, Certified Lay Minister at Chinchilla UMC, at (484) 333-6602.
