On Wednesday, Sept. 3 at Sternberg Museum of Natural History, experts will share their advice on preventing financial abuse. There will be two sessions: 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Panel members include:
• Evie Curtis, financial professional and Kansas Advocates for Better Care volunteer
• Velvet Unrein, Regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman
• Local law enforcement
• Local adult protective services representative
• Local banking officer

Members of the public, older adults and caregivers are encouraged to attend. The question-and-answer session is free.
