AARP Utah Invites You to Join Us at the Living Planet Aquarium

BRAIN_RIVER RUN

AARP Utah is excited to bring its "Real Possibilities University" to the Living Planet Aquarium in Draper on November 6, featuring speakers on brain fitness and financial fraud followed by break-out sessions on 1)  financial security for life; 2) staying active; 3) eating healthy; and 4) living trusts and wills.

The event is free and includes a light meal and ticket to the Aquarium to be used on the night of the event.


Keynote speakers are Dr. Kevin Duff of the University of Utah's Brain Institute, who will discuss how to stay sharp and improve brain fitness.  He provides ways to tell whether memory loss is normal or something to worry about, and gives tips on how to keep your brain active.  For instance, did you know that square dancing can help prevent dementia?  It involves physical activity, which is great for keeping your brain healthy.  It requires cognitive skills, as you need to follow those directions on bowing to your partner and the like, and it is social--it's impossible to square dance alone!   The combination of these skills can help prevent dementia as it will help keep your brain fit.

Utah Securities Division Director Keith Woodwell will talk about how to spot con artists in the state, and unfortunately Utah is known for fraud--it's bigger than the ski industry.  Many times it involves a neighbor or other acquaintance who might have been lured into a scheme themselves and is now a "recruiter" for other investors.  Keith goes over how Ponzi schemes work, how to spot red flags of fraud, and other helpful information to help keep your finances secure.

These presentations will be followed by the four break-out sessions listed above, with each repeated once so that attendees can attend two different sessions.  Each will be presented by local experts who will be able to answer questions on the topics and point to additional resources.

To register, just click here  or call toll-free 1-877-926-8300.

The address of the Living Planet Aquarium is 12033 Lone Peak Parkway, Draper, UT  84020.
