MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT JUNE 2014

Goodness gracious, we have reached Mid-Year. With the onset of Summer, our gears shift slightly at PRO. While our support groups take a short break, we use the summer months to recharge, regroup and plan our support group speakers, topics and event scheduling. Our office remains open throughout the summer and we welcome your phone calls, emails and of course, a personal visit should you be in the Palm Desert area. A private conversation, personal conference is also available. Contact our office to schedule a confidential meeting.

If you, our valued guests, followers, members and supporters have a special area of interest or specific need, please contact our office 760-773-5628. Our mission is to serve you by providing the best information and support we can possibly offer every month of the year.

This month we begin our letter writing campaign promoting our fundraising partnership with MACY’S and their SHOP FOR A CAUSE day. A wonderful opportunity to buy your new summer wardrobe and support PRO at the same time. ϑ

This month we continue to report on the remarkable furtherance the scientists are making on the ROAD TO THE CURE.

PRO expresses our sadness at the passing of the legend, Maya Angelou; her words will forever live in our hearts and continue to inspire the world. In our article HOME CARE OUTLOOK, Rhiannon Acree of Cambrian Homecare references a quote from Ms Angelou brilliantly.

Stacy Hennis, an exceptional “in-home”Physical Therapist, shares a fabulous article on PHYSICAL THERAPY.

SUPPORTING PRO is now easier than ever before AND can be done every day! We are now part of the AMAZONSMILE network.

It doesn’t cost you anything! Click the AMAZON link on our website to join as a PRO supporter. Amazon makes it SO EASY to do so much for the causes you believe in! THANK YOU in advance for your interest.

On behalf of everyone benefiting from our efforts, we thank ALL who DONATE to PRO. It is with YOUR support we are able to serve so many and make an impact on the quality of life for those with Parkinson’s. We thank you in advance for your loyalty and commitment and welcome your continued donations via mailing a check to the address on the cover or going online to our secure website.

Until next month, REMEMBER to celebrate World Environment Day on the 5th, Flag Day on the 14th, Father’s Day on the 15th, Summer Solstice on the 21st. Remember to CELEBRATE YOU. PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS!

Love, Jo Rosen
