A few months ago, I sent Dr. Geoff Galbraith a book about end-of-life care. He and I have had chats about it, and I thought it would be interesting to have him discuss the book and his thoughts about it at our upcoming ACN meeting on September 9, 2026, at the Alohilani Hotel, Stingray room, from 2 to 4 pm. I look forward to seeing you soon!

I would like to invite you to our upcoming session on “Beyond Weight: Health & Wellness Advice from Your Family Doctor.” During this session, Dr. Latare will share the latest updates on weight management in 2026, including the new medications that are gaining attention, and what they really mean in everyday life. The session will also cover the importance of maintaining lean muscle, staying active, eating well, building strong social connections, and improving sleep as we age. I hope you can join us for a relaxed and informative afternoon.

We are pleased to invite you to another meaningful Afternoon Tea Conversation. Our conversation, titled "Caregiving: A World of Dignity and Compassion Through Poetry, Storytelling, Language, and Humor," will be led by Frances Kakugawa, an award-winning author, poet, educator, and long-time advocate for caregivers. We hope you will join us for this meaningful afternoon of connection, conversation, and shared understanding.
