We at Rotorua U3A invite you to join us at our next community forum on Wednesday 21st February 2018 when our guest speaker will be Gilliam Eadie of the Memory Foundation, based in Auckland.
She asks: “Are you looking after your memory?”
She addresses issues like losing our glasses and car keys; forgetting names, appointments; whether we’ve taken our meds and even why we’ve come into a room.
Memory Foundation co-founder and managing director, Gillian Eadie will be speaking about strategies for building new brain connections as a buffer against memory loss in later life.
These strategies have been developed by Gillian’s co-founder and sister, Dr Allison Lamont in conjunction with her Memory Clinic. Her programmes are based on her internationally acclaimed research into age-related memory loss.
An entertaining speaker, Gillian has addressed large audiences at a range of U3A, Probus, Zonta, Inner Wheel, corporate groups and other organisations.
