Lunch & Learns
The Lunch & Learns were developed as a means to educate the older adult population in the Charlotte/Mecklenburg area on issues of interest to seniors.
A series of Lunch & Learns are held at various senior retirement communities each quarter. Each lunch & learn consists of a one-hour presentation by representatives from non-profits, businesses, and agencies who work with the senior population. Lunch & learns are free. You may call in your reservation at 704.365.1995 or email plampel@shepherdscharlotte.org. For a list of the latest lunch & learns, click here.
