Lewiston/Auburn Senior College plans to host Grace McCarthy, an expert on fraud and a speaker for AARP Maine, for its November Food for Thought program.

The presentation is set for 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 14, in Room 170 at USM Lewiston/Auburn, Westminster Street in Lewiston.

For those who prefer Zoom, organizers will put out a link to sign in from home. The event will last one to two hours, depending on questions and discussion.

McCarthy is a former police officer from Maryland who was selected to attend the FBI National Academy. Her husband is a Mainer, and after several trips to Maine (and reading newspapers revealing very scant criminal activity) they decided that Maine was the place to start a family.

For a few years she worked as a substitute teacher and ultimately started a career with L.L. Bean in security. She retired after 23 years as a senior analyst, having spent the majority of her time investigating internal/external fraud.

McCarthy is a member of the Bowdoinham Committee on Aging, a volunteer for People Plus in Brunswick, and a presenter from AARP’s Fraud Watch Network.

Attendees can bring coffee or snacks from the university’s cafe.

Those who wish to be part of the Zoom audience should give their name and the program they want to attend. They will receive a link the morning of the presentation.
