Humanist Association
The LW Humanist Association will meet on Sunday, Aug. 6, in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, starting at 10:20 a.m. The guest speaker will be Bobbie Hamfeldt, who will give a presentation on organ, eye and tissue donation.
Shortly after retiring in 2010, Hamfeldt’s only child was killed in a tragic accident. Her grief journey has led her to take new paths in life to honor her son Erik and continue causes that were important to him. In 2017, she trained to become a OneLegacy Ambassador, so she can help to spread the important message of organ donation, a cause that is very important to her.
Hamfeldt’s presentation will begin with an overview of donation, its impact on others and why it’s an important act to consider. She will also go over ways that people can participate in donation as a living donor and/or as a deceased donor. There are many myths that have been passed around regarding organ and tissue donation, and Hamfeldt will spend some time addressing these fallacies. After the presentation, there will be time for questions, and people will be able to register to be a donor if they choose.
