MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT - JANUARY 2019

PRO will ring in 2019 with optimism and the energy and spirit of New beginnings. We ring it in with great appreciation and homage to all those who have and continue to, support the work we do and those we serve. We send best wishes to everyone for a HAPPY and abundant, in all areas, NEW YEAR! 
    It is amazing that PRO and I enter our 30th year. Time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. We are still impatiently waiting for the cure for Parkinson’s, but we are truly proud of where we are as an organization and how we continue to help those so desperately needing comfort, guidance, and council along their way through Parkinson’s. It is our wish that someday soon our phones will no longer ring with the devastating news of another person and family touched by Parkinson’s, that our inbox will be void of the sad news of yet another friend’s passing. 
    Committed to inspiring news, empowering information and actionable quality of life tips and hints, we bring you January’s issue of Newsworthy Notes. PRO-vocative indeed, our prayer for you: “May the New Year be complete with smiles, music, dance, and love. May your days be overflowing with comfort and your heart filled with contentment.” 
    We love you and thank you for allowing us to be with you, every day, and every month for the past 29 years.
    Please keep us in mind when you make your donation of at least $25 to recognize this milestone.    
    Enjoy and find inspiration in the UPDATE ON THE ROAD TO THE CURE. Enjoy other PRO-vocative and informative news such as: WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF GOCOVRI?; ASSISTED LIVING VS. HOME CARE; FDA APPROVES INBRIJA; WHAT YOUR URINE SAYS ABOUT YOUR HEALTH; and ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY AND OTHER DEPRESSION TREATMENTS.
    Join us in making a difference in your life or the life of a loved one this month by donating. Supporting us is simple: Make monthly donations through our safe PayPal donation page at ParkinsonsResource.org/#modal-donate or mail your donation to our office in Palm Desert, California.    
    Until next month, REMEMBER New Year’s Day on the 1st, Martin Luther King Day on the 21st, and National Peanut Butter Day on the 24th. January’s birthstone is the Garnet. The birth flower is the Carnation or Snowdrop. ALWAYS remember to CELEBRATE YOU and PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS!
