Author to speak on Amish

Anna Dee Olson, author of “Growing up Amish,” will share her insight into the Amish culture during two speaking engagements on June 25.

Olson will speak at the Black River Memorial Hospital Dorothy Halverson conference room at 12:15 p.m. and again at the Black River Falls United Methodist Church at 7 p.m. The presentations are free to the public. Those who are able are encouraged to attend the 7 p.m. speech since space in the hospital conference room is limited.

“My success in life started with having very little in materialistic things,” Olson said. “Growing up Amish was not always easy, but it taught me how to have abundance no matter what the financial situation.”

Olson offers her knowledge and experience with the Amish to create the cultural bridge between mainstream America and the Amish. She will answer questions from the audience after her presentation. Her two books, “Growing up Amish” and “Leaving the Amish” will be available for purchase; Olson also will autograph books.

“Growing Up Amish” is sponsored by the Jackson County HCE along with area businesses and organizations.
