“Coffee, Cookies and Conversation”
The Alzheimer’s Association is hosting “Coffee, Cookies and Conversation” in Elkhorn for community members who wish to learn more about Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. This program will be offered on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. at People’s Bank of Elkhorn, 837 N. Wisconsin Street. There is no charge to attend; the program is open to the public.
Have you or a loved one recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia? If so, this open forum session will provide an opportunity to get questions answered and for participants to discover how the Alzheimer’s Association can help. Rather than a formal presentation, this program focuses on answering questions from the attendees. The presenter for this program is Bonnie Beam-Stratz, MA, MS, Regional Services Coordinator, Alzheimer’s Association.
To register, please contact Bonnie Beam-Stratz at 920-728-4088 or send an email to bonnie.beam@alz.org.
