League Supporters,

I want to update everyone on our March 18^th community meeting.

Our community meeting speaker was Rana Goodman who runs the Stop Guardian Abuse NV organization.  Rana told us some pretty horrific stories about elderly and disabled Nevadans who were abused by a state-appointed guardian.  You can read more about this organization here: http://www.stopguardianabusenv.org/blog

There are a number of bills currently pending in our legislature to address the myriad problems with guardianship that must pass.   Here is a summary of those bills and information on how to contact legislators.
