You Asked for It!
On the occasion of the Women's Tea in October, I was approached by the men and asked if they could attend in order to hear the speaker. I had to say no at that time, but I have scheduled another event with this speaker which includes an invitation to all our membership and any others who are interested. On Saturday, January 28, from 2 until 4, Dr. Carron and a Fellow will be here to speak about memory loss, dementia and the signs of Alzheimer's. It is a very important subject and something we
all should know about. Dr. Carron will explain methods to delay the memory loss. Anthony Stinnette, membership/ Fellowship Committee member, will be preparing light refreshments and there will be beverages. Come early to enjoy these goodies since they will
probably go fast. The public will be invited which makes an attendance count difficult.
I hope you won't need a string on your finger to remember. Right the date down now and plan to attend. I will see you there, won't I?
