LRMC-Room B-201 The Foundation will serve you a healthy boxed lunch while LRMC staff educate you about the importance of having an advance directive, which is a legal document that tells healthcare providers who it is that you wish to make medical decisions for you and what treatments you would want or not want, if you are ever not able to tell care providers what you would want in a medical emergency or life-limiting illness.
Afterwards, we’ll tour you through the LRMC Center for Advancing Quality of Life. This unit offers palliative care, which is compassionate care for patients and families facing a serious illness affecting their quality of life. The home-like environment created by the Center is as close to home as hospital patients can feel.

Lakeland Yacht and Country Club Please join us for our annual luncheon as we learn from "Making a Difference in the World - and in Your Own Life. The message of this session, presented by Joanna Krotz, our keynote speaker, will touch on how women are realizing that giving translates into gaining a seat at the table and a voice in setting social standards and political policy. Yet many women still see philanthropy as a man's game. Yet when women become engaged, they typically give more than men do. And, lately, more and more women are joining the ranks of philanthropy. Inspiring personal stories about women who stepped up to give time, talent and treasure provide insights and lessons—including a fundraising campaign for women’s causes at multi-million-dollar levels.
Individual Tickets - $40, Table Sponsorships - $350 (table of 8).
