Today’s Speaker: Judith Lydon, Camden Area District Nursing
Judith is the Director of Camden Area District Nursing and has been with the organization for 10 years. Next year, the organization will 100 years! It was identified, in 1920 Camden, that a public nurse was needed and this group was organized. They currently employ 6 nurses. They encourage people to age in their own homes as well as help your neighbor! They run by word of mouth, charge weekly $25 visit or what you can pay. They serve Camden, Rockport, Hope and Lincolnville. Anyone can refer anyone. They provide medication management, wellness checks, injections, etc. West Bay’s donation help provide Medication Alarm Boxes for 7 individuals ($100/box).
Speaker, Part 2:
Ken Gardner, a past professional wrestler from Memphis. He spent his youth watching wrestling. Worked at FedEx for a number of years and informed his new staff that they needed to be aware that he was once a pro wrestler…Handsome Kenny Gardner…and created his own legend that evolved into where he is today! When he relocated to Maine…the legend came with him…and the story got even better, strut and all! Ask for one of his Kenny action figures and get your pic taken with his Championship belt!
