Thank you to everyone who came out for the June Lynne Lacey Foundation Annual Holiday Celebration today! Everyone had a chance to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas, eat a delicious meal and take home some treats and a present! We had the opportunity to share the Christmas story, as June had for so many years. Thank you to the amazing volunteers who helped make this Annual Celebration a reality!
Despite on and off rain showers, the June Lynne Lacey Foundation Annual Back to School Backpack Giveaway drew a large crowd and all students left with a backpack filled with school supplies! Thank you to all those who donated & volunteered!
The Annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day Rally was held June 15th at the Minnesota State Capitol. The event was sponsored by the June Lynne Lacey Foundation for the sixth year.
The Rally acknowledged and expressed deepest sympathy to the families of Minnesota House Representative Melissa Hortman and State Senator John Hoffman. The Rally also remembered the 5,990 residents of long term care facilities who lost their lives when Covid patients were allowed in, but families were not.
We must never forget those who have been victims of involuntary, for-profit, abusive, fraudulent guardianships and conservatorships and no longer are with us. There is no excuse for abuse.
We must respect and protect the human rights of our elders.
