This year’s topics include Advance Care Planning, Decoding Dementia, and The Art of SelfCare. Region 9 AAA Director Laurie Sauer stated that “We are thrilled to be offering this conference in Alcona this year. We know finding resources and information for caregivers can be challenging in rural areas. We are hopeful the community will embrace this event and attend to learn more about what’s available to help family caregivers. If you are a caregiver, direct care

worker, or professional working with older adults, this event is for you.”
