Film and Discussion with Pam Walton '66

Alumni, parents and friends are invited to join filmmaker Pam Walton '66 for a virtual screening of her latest documentary, The Lodge. She hopes the class of ’66 is enjoying their retirement, but wants to remind us retirement isn’t easy for everyone. The New York Times has reported that “long-term care facilities fail to protect LGBTQ seniors against discrimination and harassment, leaving them particularly vulnerable.”

The Lodge takes audiences inside Fountaingrove Lodge in Santa Rosa, California, the first retirement community to offer independent and assisted living to LGBTQ seniors and their allies. It’s an historic experiment in gay/straight living. This program will be streamed over Zoom. Shortly after the event begins we will screen the documentary on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/547719836. Once the film ends we will return to the Zoom stream. This will be a Zoom Meeting format, so Pam will be able to see you and take your questions on screen after viewing the film.
